Best chili

[JV842]

I've entered and won first in a couple of chili cookoffs. The secret to chili is the right ratio of chili/cumin/garlic/onion. Few chili recipes recommend enough cumin or garlic. But not all cumins are created equal, bad cumin can be very bitter.

This Wick Fowler copycat recipe makes a pretty good no-hassle chili, though I'd make the following changes: skip the masa, sub the tomato sauce for 4-6oz tomato paste, increase cayenne pepper to preferred level of heat, and throw a diced up anaheim pepper in. And adjust cumin/garlic to personal preference.

JV842's ingredient looks it would be a pretty dang good chili, as well.

Sauté the tomato paste n it will take away that “tinny” bitter taste

I've used this recipe quite a few times and it's good. Definitely a crowd pleaser as described.

Boilermaker Tailgate Chili

This boilermaker chili simmers up ground beef, sausage, beans, and tons of spice for a real crowd-pleaser. It's a favorite for game day or any day.

I add about a 1/2 to 3/4 cup or so of Deschutes Black Butte Porter, and make sure I drink the rest of that bottle + 1 for good measure...quality control you know.

Actually, now that I think about it, it's game day tomorrow here, so...

Beans or no beans? Noodles or no noodles?

Noodles?? What’s wrong with you?

Kinda like what @texwest44 said, I generally go heavier on the cumin than most recipes would indicate. It goes over well. Good luck!

I entered a chili cook-off once. To be decided by the patrons of Sportsman's Warehouse. I made a killer version of Hank Shaw's https://honest-food.net/venison-chili-recipe/

It was great.

But I lost, to an incredibly bland ketchup based soup with noodles. The typical American is a worthless, scared of flavor, overweight asshole. No, I'm not still holding a grudge!

We always use Brooks hot chili beans. Wife added mushrooms. Think I'll stop that. My mom's was a burger and navy bean soup with chili powder and twisty noodles. You ate it because you were going hungry otherwise.
