I'm gonna make this tomorrow. If I'm using dried beans how many lbs should I sub for the cans?

THEBuckeye · February 2015

YES!

This is similar to a Smoke Chicken Chile recipe from Eggtoberfest 2014 that I've made a number times.

I cook 7 Chicken Thighs w/ Jamaica Fire Walk for that recipe.

I think I could eat it seven nights a week. Add a couple Mrs. Shupert's Yeast Rolls and all is well in the world!

The bad news is I had the last of it last night!

The Eggtoberfest recipe did not have the Cilantro but did have Chile's and Chopped Jalepenos.

I find that generally dried beans expand by 3x. So 1 cup dried will make 3 cups cooked.

So one lb should equal 3 16oz cans then?

Interesting @THEBuckeye that your favorite food is eaten with a spoon. Hmmmmm.

That's been my general experience

@Legume
Now that's funny, and, truly a coincidence ( I think??).

I was thinking the same thing.

If it tastes half as good as it smells its gonna be great.

Mattman3969 · February 2015

That is looking oh so good!!

@Eggcelsior, please share the meat and bean stew recipe!
Please, please, please.

Dyal_SC · March 2015

Y'all have me wanting to bust out the DO for some stew! All that looks awesome.

Mattman3969 · March 2015

@tjosborne - how did it turn out??

Eggcelsior · March 2015

@jaydub58
I use the Cooks illustrated recipe as a base. http://www.tastebook.com/recipes/974460-Simple-Beef-Chili-with-Kidney-Beans

I'm on my phone, so hopefully the link works.
If not, Google it and select the tastebook site, should be the 4th result down. I do 1/3 cup of chili powder and double everything else, spicewise. I first chop up 4 or 5 pieces of bacon and then brown the veggies in the grease. I only add 1 can of rotel along with the crushed tomatoes, then I add 1 beer and chicken stock to make up for the volume difference. I also add extra Cayenne and a jalapeño.

tjosborne · March 2015

It turned out real good, I'm glad i tried it. That lime in the background really set it off.

jaydub58 · March 2015

@Eggcelsior that opened up just fine.
Many thanks, it is now on the menu!
