Well, it is that time of year again--Winter. Time for foods that warm ya up. Here is my recipe for chili (pretty fucking hot, careful):

Canno's Roasted 4-pepper Chili

1/2 LB Lean Ground Pork
1/2 LB Lean Ground Sirloin
2 16 OZ cans Pinto Beans
2 15 OZ cans Stewed Tomatos
~20 OZ Dark Beer (Sierra Nevada Pale is great--I used Fuller's Stout last time)
3 Large Jalepenos (fresh)
1 Habenero (fresh)
4 Sirrano Chilis (fresh)
2-3 Chipotle Chilis(Smoked Jalepeno - they come in a can)
4-6 Cloves Garlic (depending on size)
1 large Yellow Onion
1 TBLSP Garlic Powder
1 TBLSP Chili Powder
1 TBLSP Tobasco
1 PKG Chili Mix (I used El Paso Chili Blend http://www.elpasochile.com/ , but the Lawry's stuff available in stores is perfectly fine)

Heat oven to 400. Wrap Jalepenos, Sirranos, and garlic cloves in foil. Roast for ~20 minutes until skins start to brown. Cool these and mince finely after discarding stems and seeds. Set aside.

Chop up onion, chipotles, set aside. De-seed and finely mince fresh habenero.

Break apart and brown pork and sirloin in skillet, drain.

In large pot, combine all ingredients and bring to a slow boil.

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 hours, stirring every so often.

Add salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.

WARNING: This is very spicy stuff. Reduce the amount of chilis if you can't hang. Use caution when handling chilis--the oils will get in your skin and cause irritation as well as potentially get in your eyes, it hurts like a bitch. To avoid this, use rubber gloves when washing and especially chopping.

If you really want it mild, use a couple fresh Anaheim Chilis(roasted, as above) in place of the Habenero, Sirranos, Jalepenos...

Im gonna use that mix in my crockpot, sounds like I'll be blowing gasgets tomorrow..... but fuck it!


Thx!

That sounds like a really good mix.. maybe if I'm feeling overzealous one day I'll try and make it! Oh and the glove thing is definately a good idea for cutting habaneros. You do not want that stuff to get in your eyes.

Looks very similar to the recipe a friend of mine cooks, except she uses more garlic and 2 pounds of ground Bambi. Deer chili is the BEST!

That's the cool thing about chili, you can alter so many ingredients to make it the way you like

I started with meat, mix, tomatos, beans.. then added what I thought I would like As soon as find some bambi, that will be going in to replace the pork/beef.

As for the chilis, you can roast em, smoke em, or just keep them raw and it works And the more garlic, the merrier

Jesus, why didn't you just say:
One part ground beef
One part kidney beans
One part all kinds of really hot fucking peppers

Just reading that list made me sweat

Chipotles pwn

Cane,

You should try it with some chopped up pineapple chunks in it.

I know it sounds sick, but it adds so much to a really hot chili.

Don't knock it till you've tried it.

Does there exist a kind of chili in the world without all the f'ing beans?

Chili without beans is like peanut butter and jelly without peanut butter.

Jelly alone still tastes great!

Interesting point, Vannoth. Actually, mango or carrots work well to offset the heat. Beans aren't required at all, just add more beer and perhaps 1/2 cup of beef broth or something. I don't like kidney beans, so I use Pintos.

Basically, you can replace 90% of the ingredients with something else and it works

More soul food recipes please. I'm getting into cooking that a lot at home but it is hard to find non-lousy recipes for soul food on the internet.

Will look into that Kyu. I think my Mom has some old secrets somewhere. Either that, or I experiment with a few, modify, test and see what tastes good. Lemme get back to you on that

4 serrano and 1 habanero? how does that johnny cash song go?.."my ass iiiissss a burning ring of fire."

something like that

Try using ground buffalo instead ....

Drolgins Chili tip:

Do NOT clean chilis, then fondle your girlfriend in intimate places. She will not like you much.

And that is EXACTLY why I put the warning in....

I can't hack the chillis anymore .

I know it sounds weird but adding a little bit of cocoa (the powedered stuff) to chili is also very good. A guy I worked with from Texas told me about that. He also used to use cut up steak cubes instead of ground meat.

Actually, chocolate is a pretty common ingredient in chili-like foods. I know it's used in a lot of mexican recipes.

Yep, local Chili King has chocolate chips as a topping This guy rules, his chilis are so damn good. He has even been featured on FoodTV. Here is the link:

I go there once a month.

A dash of cinnamon is good as well.

Thanks for the recipe Cane!

Ummm, Chili for lunch. Must punish co-workers with post-lunch Chili King gaseousness...

I found this today, cool site... lotsa (seemingly) good recipes.

She has a pretty good site. I have been wanting to try out some of the copycat recipes

Anyone else completely and hopelessly addicted to Food Network Television??

Olliver's Twist and Emeril > All

if memory serves me right...

East Meets West, Oliver's Twist, Emeril, Bobby Flay, IRON CHEF -- all quality shows.

LOL Canelek, is your avatar from Super Troopers? I know the movie is probably considered utter-crap-cinema, but I laughed my ass off through the whole thing

Sure is. I loved that movie

I like most of whats on FoodTV.. but for some reason i can't STAND Bobby Flay.. i don't know what it is but if i see his face on the TV the channel gets changed immediately..

Which really sucks because i am huge fan of Southwestern style foods and really into all the different kinds of peppers and stuff he uses..
