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?

 

[NEWHunter]

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!

Bases covered for a methane explosion in the truck topper later. Here I thought we saw the northern lights.

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.

Taking my grandkids out tomorrow for opening weekend here in Texas, they want to “camp out” so throwing up the teepee…I’m sure there will be some gas up in there tomorrow night!! It’s fun but it’s funny that there’s a bunk house w beds not 30yds from where we will be sleeping on the ground!!!

I keep meaning to try Hank Shaw’s recipe. He claims people message him all the time saying they won informal cook offs with his recipe.

Editor's note: I think he's talking about chili. Some of y'all conflate discussions about chili and chile. Not the same, and should not be combined in discussion.

Ground rules! Like it.
