A-Stick & Chili

BlueSmoke

Hey A-Stick, last week simultaneous batches of your bro-in-law's chili were made in Colorado and Florida. The decision was unanimous: More! Couldn't find dark beer, so we used stout. That stuff is killer. Thanks for passing the recipe along.[p]Ken

BlueSmoke,
Ok, can someone please post this one again? I posted a request for some chili and saved some of the recipes, but I want to make sure I have this one...
Thanks

Wardster,[p]Glad to oblige. A couple notes: Between the FL batch and the CO batch, we used 6 different kinds of beans - all were delicious. Unable to find dark beer, both batches substituted Guiness Stout.[p]Ken[p]Savory Market Chili[p]Ingredients

BlueSmoke,
Does the "chili powder" mean the usual Chile Powder that's a mixture of spices and chiles, or is it a pure single Chili Powder?

Judy Mayberry,[p]I took the recipe to mean the commercial blended stuff. One of my modifications was to substitute ground Chimayo chili for the powder. (Not caring for them, I also omitted the cumin and coriander.)[p]Ken
