Friend is having a chili cookoff at work and she wants me to make it on the egg for her. Not a big chili maker so I need an winning chili recipe that can earn her first place. Would like to get a couple so I can do a test run before hand. Cookoff is Oct 3.

Thanks,
AlwaysGolf

    Add the ground chuck and sausage (break up into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon). Add 2 or 3 fist-sized chunks of wood to coals.
    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).

    Tried and true...this is a great recipe.
  • Hey Fidel

    I was referring to egret's chili.
  • Ok, I was kind of figuring that. But you never know. So I take it that his chili is as good as all the bread he makes.

    I've never had his bread, but his chili is good. I've had it when he made it last year in October and have made it a half dozen times myself.

    Good stuff. I've tinkered with the recipe a bit myself, for personal preferences, but his recipe is very good as it is. I like mine a bit hotter.

    Haven't tried this one yet (up on my to do list as first chili of the season), but it was given to me by RichardFl and none of his recipes have ever failed me... egrets and RRP's are both awesome as well..so now at least you have a few choices ;)

    1 Cup Green/Red Bell Peppers, Chopped
    4 Large Onions, Coarse Chopped

    3 Tbs. Jalapeños, Chopped
    2 Cans Beer
    2 Bunches Cilantro, Chopped, Leaves Only
    2 10 Ozs Rotel, Original
    4 14 1/2 Ozs Tomatoes, Crushed
    1 14 1/2 Ozs Stewed Tomatoes
    3 Cups Tomatoe Juice
    2 4 1/2 Ozs Can Green Chilis, Chopped
    2 15 1/2 Ozs Can Kidney Beans, Red/Pink, include liquid
    1 7 Ozs Can Chipolte Sauce
    2 Cups Pork/Beef/Chicken Stock
    1 Tbs Red Pepper, Coarse Ground
    3 Tsp Chili Powder, Chimayo
    2 Tbs Pepper, White, Ground
    2 Tsp Cayenne pepper
    2 Limes, Juice of
    4 Tsp Cumin
    3 Tbs Garlic, Coarse, Chopped

    Salt/Pepper to taste
    1/2 Stick Butter



    Procedure:
    1 Cook the meat in a pot on the stove for about 2 1/2-3 hours. Turn off and when cool, drain the liquid--save some for the stock, and degrease it, separate the meat from the bones and fat. yielded about 6 cups of meat.
    2 BGE 300°F-325°F, indirect, plate setter legs up, spacers under the DO, no top. I prefer to sauté the veggies on the stove, but the egg will work also. 2-3 pieces of apple wood for smoke flavor.
    3 In heavy 9 quart Dutch Oven, saute onions, celery, garlic, add tomatoes, liquids, spices. Cook on simmer for 3 hours. Stir about every 30 minutes so it does not stick.
    4 After 2 1/2-3 hours, add cilantro, pre-cooked pork, beans w/liquid. Cook 2 more hours., may need to add some more tomato juice if it starts to get dry. Add 1/2 stick butter at end for texture.Serve or reheat second day for better flavor. Freezes well.


    Yield: 9 Quarts
    Preparation time: 45 minutes
    Cooking time: 5 hours
    Ready in: 6 hours

    Or take the quick and very good way out with
    "Cin Chili". You can do it in the egg and add your own extras to it. Have been buying in Austin at Central Market. Alvin I have 5 or 6 bags on hand and will be glad to bring you a few to pick up at the store. Just say the word.This stuff is very good.

    Thought I'd mention that we are having a chili party on Nov. 1st. All are invited. It's the best way to try a bunch of different types of Chili. Just south of Atlanta!
