<p />In the last couple of days, I noticed a few folks blowing their horns about chili. I just had to get in on the act. Actually, with minor surgery scheduled for tommorrow, I'm just trying to keep my mind busy.[p]I figured I'd make a small lunch batch with a little bacon, some fine Alabama hot pork sausage and those wonderful Mexican dried chilis (cacasbels and oaxacas) from old friend DTM in Montana.[p]I'll even risk getting myself in trouble by smoking this brew in one of the wife's Magnalite stockpots. Won't be sleeping tonight, so film at 11:00.[p]chileside.gif[p]

    KennyG,
    Try adding some coco powder and a cup of coffee. It would also appear that you are missing either some beer or bourbon to deglaze the pan. The only other thing that I could suggest is Mexican Oregano. [p]Good luck and let me know if you need anything.

    YB,
    I have dreaming about those shrimp as well. Maybe I will make some for New Years Eve.
    Ken on the other hand, needs lunch today and not tomorrow. Heeeeeeeee.[p]I have a recipe for some killer beef stew that I discovered in the spring and just got around to trying it over the weekend. I will put it out when I get a chance. It called for both Chuck and Shank, two of the toughest cuts of meat. When all was said and done the meat just fell apart and talk about Beef Flavor![p]Enjoy,
    R&J

    RhumAndJerk,[p]Good idea, I just happen to have some left over coffee. Also, YB is correct, I like to cook this stuff for a "while" and have several hours to determine the final ingredients. hehehe[p]K~G

    YB,[p]I just checked and the chili seems to be coming along nicely. Should be ready before midnite tonite, after which I can't eat or drink anything (hate when that happens). Might be ready to wash down with a couple of bottles of Yellow Tail before "witching hour" tonight.[p]Ken

    KennyG,
    What is it that you use to determine when your chili is done? Is it primarily the amount ow water that has cooked off?[p]Thanks, CR

    CR,
    When you spend more sampling than stirring, the chili is done.
    I also tell by how the beans are cooked. I normally use dried beans, so when they are cooked so is the chili.[p]Hope this Helps,
    R&J

    <p />This was a shoot from the hip recipe using freezer and pantry items. Fortunatly, I didn't blow my toes off this time and probably made my best batch ever.[p]Inspite of the "hot" chili beans and the "hot" sausage and the "hot" 4 spice adobo powder, the finished product was tasty and wimpy. I added a spash or two or Mrs. Dog's (J Appledog on the forum) "Dangerously" hot sauce to obtain the capsaicin level I was looking for***[p]This will keep you warm on a cold and snowy Cleveland winter day.[p]K~G
    ***confessions of an accomplished and professional chili-head, don't try this yourself at home![p]

    CR,[p]Good advice from R&J! I use a Polder set to go off at 200* internal chili temp. Then I shut the Egg down and let it sit there. [p]Hours later, it will still be too hot, temp wise, for most guests and too hot, spice wise, as well.[p]Ken
