anyone got a go-to chili recipe they're willing to share?
I lived in Texas for most of high school and all of college and ate a lot of chili. I also firmly believe that beans in chili is borderline criminal. This is one of the best recipes I've come across, and I've cooked a lot of chili. It takes about 4-5hrs to do it right, but all good chili takes that long. You won't regret it.

I like mine with sour cream, raw onion and a little bit of shredded cheese on top. You gotta have a good hunk of cornbread as well. The cornbread is my wife's department....

PS: It also works really well with venison, if you don't want to use a chuck roast.

Ive made this recipe 3-4 times and its really good but a lot of prep and if you need to purchase a lot of the ingredients it ends up being a big pot of $80 chili lol.

I'd purchased a bag of ras el hanout a year or two ago and every time I come across it, I take a sniff and think it's eight pounds of Christmas in a five pound bag.

Got sick of my usual chicken wing prep and found the ras el hanout. Figured, what the hell. Gave the bird some and modded a store bbq sauce with some more.

Well, those Moroccans got themselves one hell of a chicken rub there. Apparently it has loads of applications, but right now it's chicken spice #1 in my rotation.

Nothing better than a mix of dried Chile's like guajillo, pasilla, de arbor, ancho and real dried Chipotle... opened, removing seeds and warm up on a dry skillet medium heat for a minute than soak them on boiling water for 5 minutes or until soft than put them on a blender with part of the soacking water and make a paste. That paste goes in the chili instead of chili powder...

Then when whatever chili you're making is simmering... add whole Chile's to the pot and let simmer until your chili is ready. I usually put 1-2 guajillo, 1 pasilla and whatever amount of chili the arbol you like depending on how much heat you want.

Recently started incorporating diced jalapeño in a couple recipes. Usually I omit if called for, because I'm not real big on spice/heat, but thought what the heck, I'll just try it. And they are mild enough that I can appreciate the flavor it adds.

Never thought I would like it, guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.

I’m the opposite.

I like spicy foods but don’t like the flavor of jalapeños.
