Happy sunday, Beckerheads, Becker fans, and other forumites! That's Right! It's Sunday Chili season over here in my kitchen, and this time; It's Buckcastle Chili !!!
Chili on Sunday is a bit of a tradition in my family, and few things say "It's Autumn, now." Like a good bowl of red on a Sunday afternoon. And what better way to celebrate a little cool weather down time at home with a spin on a Beckerhead favorite, one Ethan seems to enjoy sharing with us: MacLeid's Roccastle Chili (with Venison for meat.)

First off, we have the stars of the show: Bacon, Buck, and Becker

Worked up some yellow onions with my BK-5

Caramelized them in bacon grease and deglazed

Added to tomatoes with cracked black peppercorn and a little chili powder

Simmering now...

To be continued... ... ... :D
 
A big pot of chilli sure does sound good. I'm headed out hunting and its 16 degrees and would love to have some waiting on me when I get home. Luckily I made beef stew the other day, so I'll at least have that. Might just have to do some chilli next week.
 
update #1 It's smelling good in here!

Not quite, the simmer's the secret.

sounds like some fine chili / stew weather indeed. Good luck on the hunt!
 
All done and eating now. My 16 looked a little lonely, so I threw it a cameo:

I enjoyed the crap outta putting this together and eating it, I'd been hungry for a few days and this should set me to right.
Stay hungry, my friends.

I'm assuming "to right" means "can clear out an elevator in 3 seconds flat."
 
Mmm, looks like the perfect anti-turkey leftover meal... gonna head off to the pantry to check out the bean supply.

Hey Guyon, a tablespoon or two of vinegar in the chili will rob it of its elevator clearing power, counter the vinegar flavor with a T or 2 of brown sugar, and a little more chili powder... any excuse to add more chili powder is always worth trying.

Thrown in a side of garlic bread and... dang it, I've got to head for the kitchen.

Good tip, but where's the fun in that? :D
 
Well done, great thread! Looks really tasty. Think I'm gonna add chili to this weeks meal plan now.
 
Looks muy excellente. Time for more chili in our house, as well. I just need to pick up a stout to deglaze the pan and see what all that fuss is about.
 
If this is as good as it looks, it's fine fare indeed. Some cornbread, a campfire and some Black & Tan.........
 
All that work and saltines??
Agree with Trade - needs some cornbread or a nice hunk of fresh sourdough. or it could be IN the sourdough... aw yeah.

Absolutely. Chili in sourdough is something a man could live on for a loooong time and be very happy.
