Food recipes can come from diverse sources. This came from an Irish lad that is a small engine mechanic at the shop my son manages.

1 # ground beef

1 large jar of hot salsa

1 can of kidney beans

Brown ground meat. Bring bean & salsa mix to a simmer add beef & simmer for about half an hour.


Danged quick. My chili is an all day event. Will try this soon.

If anyone tries this,please give us the results.

I don't know how that would turn out. All it's gonna be is like eating salsa with meat and beans in it.
 
Crumplehorn chilli.

8lb mince, and 2lb smoked bacon mishapes or streaky bacon, 2 onions, a very large 2.25kg tin of chopped tomatoes and a 800 gram tin of tomato puree. 10 large hot fresh chillies. 10 cloves of garlic. 6 chicken stock cubes. 2.25kg red kidney beans, 400gram tin of baked beans.

Fry sliced onions, garlic, bacon, and chillis in a little oil. When browned add the bacon, and the mince. Stir well as it cooks to stop it clumping. Add the chopped tomato and tomato pureé. Stir well. When it starts to simmer, add the red kidney beans and the baked beans. Add the chicken stock cubes. You might need to add a little water to correct the consistency. Simmer for about 2 hours. Skim off any oil.

This quantity will fill 3 x 4 litre ice cream containers. I freezes well, and will keep in a cold fridge for a week or so.

I get ribbed by a Texan friend for adding baked beans (or for that matter any beans), but I wanted a contrast to the red kidney beans. My justification was that your average Texan cowboy on the trail would pull out whateer he had in his saddlebag and might have red beans and white beans.

I sold 20lb of this a week in summer! 'Crumplehorn' was the name of the Inn.
 
Cumin. Gotta have the cumin.
And Chipotles.
The rest?
I guess it's OK, just don't call it chile to a Texan.
I'm still gettin grief about the beans.

On a similar note,
1 large can Hormel Chile
1 block Velveta
Cube cheese like substance, stir in chile and nuke.
Sounds aweful, tastes surprisingly good.
 
The title of this thread should have been "Instant Farts."
 
You want quick chili?

Go to the store, and pick up Carroll Shelby's chili mix.

Fry up the ground beef, pour in 2 cans of tomato sauce, add the Shelbys spice packet; simmer for about 15 minutes; toss in a couple cans of chili beans, and there ya have it.

Works for me in a pinch.

In which county of Ireland is Daytona Beach situated?

If he is Irish, why did you go to him for a chili recipe? What next, Icelandic falafel? Jewish chop suey? Nutritious American food?

(OK, I made that last one up!)

Throw in a can of crushed tomatoes, and it might have the right texture.

1 there is no such thing as quick chili unless it comes out of a can:grumpy:

2 no beans go in chili, if you want beans in your chili cook then on the side and add them later, the beans mess up the taste

no more chili secrets today
 
lets see...
chili...

only been about a month since my last pot...

2lbs lean ground beef(I buy the BIG packs and brown it all ahead of time, seperate and label by weight in the freezer), 1lbs fresh crimini mushrooms, green pepper, can of diced stewed tomatos(just open and dump), good sized red onion... can of tomato soup, 1/2 jar of medium salsa, good splash of franks red hot, 1/2 bulb of garlic(4-5 sections), cayene, banana peppers, curry, lemon juice, honey, vanilla.

can of baked beans in tomato sauce either warmed up in the smaller pot or cold on the table.

takes about 2hrs for a batch of chili.
 
I used to watch that old kid-toucher, I think he was called the Frugal Gourmet, and he did a special on chili one time. He would use some chocolate or cocoa powder in his chili, said that it came down from the Aztecs via Mexican cooking and made the chili taste fantastic. Has anybody here ever tried that?
 
fast chili-no fffiinnn way man-
chili is to be done slowly and deliberately-like making love,you must enjoy it-

if you dont like making chili right dont do it at all!!!!!!

there are a few basic rules to making chili-

first-if when you open the fridge if it cant outrun you , add it-

second -beer can be used as a substitute for water-

third-see number 2

fourth-always serve a day AFTER you make it-never eat on the day its made-

i would share my way of proper chili production but im not sure any of you are man enough to give it a try and survive-lol

Rule two and four are outstanding, my dad spent I don’t know how long perfecting his chili recipe, it was like pulling teeth to get a copy and then swear an oath not to show anyone else.
 
Man, the chili queens of old San Antonio would be spinning in their graves if they read some of these recipes! :D Seems like most of these recipes are forgetting the essential ingredient of chili - Chili Powder! Without chili powder it's just not chili.

A list of things you'll never find in "real chili" - mushrooms, olives, honey, banana peppers, curry, lemon juice, honey, vanilla, salsa, or beans. ESPECIALLY baked beans!! (If you absolutely must have beans, use kidney beans and add them to your bowl after the chili is cooked)

There's an old Texas saying about beans and chili that says "anybody that knows beans about chili knows that chili don't have no beans."

1st Annual Terlingua World's Championship Chili Recipe

4 pounds coarsely ground sirloin
crisco or butter
2 (6-ounce each) cans tomato paste, thinned with water
3 to 4 medium onions, chopped, about 3 cups
1 green bell pepper, chopped, about 3/4 cup
2 to 10 cloves of garlic, minced (or to taste)
3 tablespoons commercial chili powder, or more to taste
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
In a 4-quart pot, cook meat in a little crisco, or butter (or a blend of the two) until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
Add remaining ingredients and simmer 2 to 3 hours with the lid on. Add salt, pepper and cayenne to your personal taste. Use canned beef stock to thin chili if necessary.

Great recipe. I'll give this a go and I promise no beans of any description. Would you mind if I post your recipe and text on a Food Forum that I frequent in the UK? There is a lot of rivalry there concerning chili. Credit given of course.
 
Boozoo, substitute chipotles for the basil and that's about what I make.
Occasionally guilty on the bean thing...
I like to serve it with fine chopped raw onion on top too.
