Mmmm, Chili!
« on: November 17, 2003, 02:37:07 PM »
Found this recipe at Foodnetwork.com:

Six Pack Chili

Kit Carson's last words were, "I wish I had time for one more bowl of chili." He had the right idea - you shouldn't take anything too seriously, except maybe chili. Chili was given to us by the gods especially to go with good music, good friends, good beer, and good times. If this recipe doesn't do that for you, then you don't have a pulse.
1 6-pack of Corona beer, chilled
2 1/2 lb tri-tip roast, cut into 1/2" cubes
2 1/2 lb ground chuck
1/2 tablespoons dried mexican oregano
7 tablespoons Gephart's chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
2 large Vidalia onions, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, diced (about 4-5)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1 4-oz can diced green chiles
15-oz can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Masa Harina
Salt and pepper to taste
Sour cream
Your favorite salsa


1. Drink a beer and read the directions. 2. In a large Dutch oven brown the beef with 2 TBL chili powder. Drain the fat, but don't go overboard cause there's lots of flavor in there. Add two beers, the rest of the chili powder, oregano, cumin, paprika and get it to start to boil. Simmer for an hour. 3. Have a beer to reward yourself for all that hard work. 4. Heat up a skillet and caramelize the onions. During the last couple of minutes, add the garlic and saute. Add onion and garlic to the chili along with chipotles, jalapeno, green chiles, red bell pepper, and tomatos. Simmer another 1-2 hours. 5. You'll want another beer here. Make sure your friends have put on some kickin tunes. 6. Add sugar and vinegar. Whisk together equal parts of Masa Harina and cold water (I use about 1/3 cup each). Bring to a boil and stir until it thickens. Season to taste. 7. Ladle into bowls, top with sour cream and salsa. Serve hot sauce on the side. 8. Open your final beer and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Try not to get a swelled head from all the compliments.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

What is a 'dutch oven' ?

Over here, dutch ovens means farting under the bedclothes and then pulling the covers up quickly so your partner can get the full blast...

heheheh...has the same meaning in the US as well. :D
However, a Dutch Oven is basicly a covered roasting pan or skillet.

Masa Harina is a Mexican flour. Regular flour can be used. It's just a thickening agent. Personally, I prefer mine without. That's what saltine crackers are for!:aok
