Award winning Chili

[smokendink71]

I'm sure not everyone will like this chili but I'm mainly putting it out there for the guys that I have sent samples of my chili powder to.
I won a local chili competition with this exact recipe last fall, hope you guys like it.

Dink's Chili

3 lbs Ground Beef (I used 80/20)
1 Medium Onion (fine dice)
2 Roasted Green Chiles (fine dice)
2 oz Dink's Chili Powder (this just happens to be how much is in a sample)
1-6 oz Can Tomato Paste
1 Tbls Minced Garlic
1 #10 Can Bush's Chili Beans
2 oz Beef Base
20 oz Diced Tomatoes
2 C Tomato Juice
2 Tbls Chipotle Tabasco Sauce
1 Bottle of Beer

In a large pot brown meat with onion and pepper.
Drain fat from meat.
Add remaining ingredients, bring to a slight boil over a medium setting while stirring, reduce heat to low and let simmer 2 hours.

Pretty simple and straight forward but like I said it got me a 1st place in a local cook off last fall, this was not an ICS competition, they don't allow beans in their chili.

alright I'll get some out to you lol and I can eat chili anytime, had some today in fact

[The Czar]

not me....when its this hot I even have a hard time drinking beer.....

[smokendink71]

yeah I fix chili year round and have had a lot of people think I'm nuts because of it, but oh well I guess you like what you like lol

[The Czar]

well...you may be nuts....but like chili.....power to ya!!!

Chili, it's not just for winter anymore.
Yep, I like me some chili anytime of the year.
Just did a big pot of ham & beans down here, the wife owes me a pan of cornbread or else she aint gettin no beans.
The recipe looks good Dink, I'm betting just about anyone you ask has a chili recipe tucked away in a drawer somewhere with each one having that "secret family ingredient". I never understood the no beans rule in the competitions. Personally I don't care if you use grilled possum instead of beef, if it tastes good serve it. If the judges don't like it they'll score ya low and wont ask for seconds.

[Smokeone]

Sounds tasty!
Chili is a year round food that can be eaten anytime of day. Its even better with a cold frosty beverage.

[The Czar]

Okay Dink Baby.....you got a receipe for chili that don't feed 18 people?

[smokendink71]

just cut everything in half or freeze it in a vacuum seal bag, holds real well in the freezer

[The Czar]

I only asked cause some can't be halved properly...

[smokendink71]

anything can be halved, try harder lol

If DC is like me he can only count up to 3 - then he has to start multiplying ...

Besides, it's hard to beat a simple recipe like a dozen eggs - pound of bacon - loaf of toast ...

And thanks for the translation Dink - that 3 pound batch is about right for me and the little woman the way I manage leftovers ...

[The Czar]

Thanks all your support you freaking hacks......I never said I couldn't divide simple numbers.....

I just.....I....just.....whatever.....


You guys are jerks.....picking ........on....me......

[Gizmo]

AIF DC!

[Smokeone]

Now, Now DC! Sometimes the truth hurts.
Now go get you a nice glass of apple pie........no a gallon, and all will be better!

[Gizmo]

I don't know ANYTHING that a gallon of apple pie won't fix ...

[SoloQue]

AIF DC!

at first I thought Rick was calling DC an Alien Life Form ... hmmmm he might be on to something

Now what planet would have DC as their Czar? ... nope must have been a typo on Rick's part

Ahhh, I slay me

AIF DC

still gets me!

[smokendink71]

[k.a.m.]

smokendink71, it looks like a good recipe up until you get to the beans. lol No beans in chili that's the rules I don't make em I just follow em.

[Frank_Cox]

hahaha, is that a Texas thing kam?
I like it with and without

[Gizmo]

I've heard that rule too.
I just don't care for beans period. ... ate way too many growing up - burned out I guess...
