Chilli Recipe

EggHeadFred

Anyone have a good chilli recipe? Would like to do it on the egg in a dutch oven. Thanks

I have done this one at several of the fests with good reviews. I don't put the ceramic feet between the plate setter and the D.O. but you can do it either way like this or directly on the PS. I use a 7 qt. D.O.

Close lid and cook for about 1 hour, stirring every 10-15 minutes.
Remove dutch oven from egg, remove meat and drain on paper towels.
Wipe dutch oven dry with paper towels.
Return dutch oven to egg, add more olive oil and saute´ onions, green pepper, jalapenos, and serrano(s) until limp. Add garlic and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook, uncovered, for about 2 hours (add water as needed to prevent drying).

Do a search (top of page) for chili, then refine it to 30 days. There have been a couple of threads recently on this topic.

Can't thank you enough for sharing that recipe, egret. It is the best! Have done it all summer. Gets lots of raves, even from people who said they didn't like chili.

It is contained on the 2007 Egtoberfest cookbook which can be found on Naked Whiz's web site for anyone interested.

Thank you kindly for that! The hickory smoke and DP Cowlick really add a new dimension to chili......

I've made this recipe for the past 2 Christmas' and the family loves it, a bit spicy but u can pull back on it a little for those who want a little less heat...
