beer chili is cookin on the small

mad max beyond eggdome

so i get a package in the mail last week from a certain un-named eggor in texas, who is kind enough to send me some ground chilis/chipotle/chili powder from new mexico. . .so i decide to make a beer chili today (i normally make a tomato sauced based chili) . .so i light up my small, put my old stainless steel pot direct on the grid, heat it up, add a little oil, saute some onions, add 4 pounds of ground beef, a mix of the chilis/powder that my good friend sent me. . .worked it in the pot in the egg till all the meat was well browned. ..drained off the fat, then added a couple of bottles of beer. .. . its now out there simmering in the egg for a couple of more hours. . will add more beer if necessary. . .its tasting pretty darn good if i do say so. . .[p]thanks friend who shall go nameless!!!

mad max beyond eggdome,
How much of each of the three different gifted items did you use? I have a cold and I could smell something was up before I even opened up the box. I'm afraid to use this stuff! We don't have dangerous food here in NC. At least I don't think we do!

The Naked Whiz,
LOL. .you musta got the same box i did. ..course, i tried opening it with a sharp knife and poked a bunch of holes in the baggies (but the different spices didn't get mixed together fortunately). .. now, we aren't into flaming hot stuff around our house, so for almost five pounds of ground beef, i started with 1 teaspoon of the chipotle, about 4 teaspoons of the chili powder, 1 teaspoon of the hot chilis, and about 4 - 5 teaspoons of the green chilis. ..last time i tasted it, it was leaving a little heat on the back of my tongue, but nothing to make my eyebrows sweat. . . i added some more of the chili powder, but that's about it. . .[p]pretty good stuff if i do say so ....i just added a couple of cans of red kidney beans (hey, i'm not from texas, so i'm allowed. .heee). . .will serve it with diced onions and a blend of monterey jack/cheddar cheese (grocery store stuff). .. .
