Bow Legged Joe - and a free Chili recipe - it works in the kitchen!

[myright]

Alright fellas - I got my first Fiddleback in the mail today and needed to make some Chili for our annual Halloween chili cook off. Us and about 4 other neighbors get together and hang out in one driveway and bring chili and beer. We hand out chili and beer to any adult wanting it and hand out candy to the kids.

The bow legged joe is awesome in the kitchen. Amazingly the handle is very, very comfortable in hand.

Here's the recipe for the chili:

2 pounds ground beef chuck
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
3 (15 ounce) cans chili beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can chili beans in spicy sauce
2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 large white onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 green jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
1 pablano or cubanelle peppar seeded and chopped
4 strips bacon, fat rendered and partly drained
4 cubes beef bouillon
1/2 cup beer
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 smoked chipotle

Brown all the meat and then put everything in the crock pot - I've found that it tastes the best after being in the crock pot for about 6-9 hours, varying heat depending on the length of time you have to cook it.

Browning the meat and cooking the bacon down

It does pretty well chopping - of course the length of the blade limits it a bit, but it excels as a paring knife and small chopper

Here's a pic of the grip - quite comfortable

Chop a Cubanelle and leave a few rings for the garnish

It does well with find work

I didn't have enough canned diced tomatos so I needed to cut up some fresh ones.

Chili isn't chili without beer - yes I drank some before noon :thumbup:

Patina looking good

Crock pots on and read for serving later

I'm an idiot - this was supposed to go in Fiddleback's subforum - I let the mods know to move it when they could.

Now how can I trust an idiot's recipe !?

I know, I know, too much beer before posting ...

I was confused about why it was in the other forum too. Good recipe though. I'll have to try it next time I wanna make chili. Thanks! :thumbup:

 

[Fiddleback]

Dang. You need a Bow Legged Belt Knife...

 

[myright]

Yeah - I'm thinking it would work a bit better in the kitchen. That thing cuts through tomoatos like a lazer beam. Nice work on this blade!

LOL. You've gone too far this time.

It's a pocket knife! Put that away and pull out your Woodsman to make chili. Don't have a Woodsman? Get one!

It's a slippery slope :thumbup:
