I never cook off recipes, just whatever I've got around to make it taste good. I'm with you about cooking chili though, not too much better than a bowl during the winter.

I'm making a chili tonight that I call Chumbo. It's a mix of Texas and Louisiana with okra and anduollie sausage in it

[GSQUARED]

Sour cream and crackers to top it off? Maybe some scallions?

[LifeisaGarden]

I made chili tonight too.

Open the fridge and cupboard and throw everything into it.

My staple is 2 cans of Natty Light and grits

Oh, you said recipes.

Spice measurements are all approximate. I just brown the meat with the vegetables, drain and then throw all of it in a pot and simmer.

1 lb ground meat

1 large sweet onion chopped

1 large bell pepper chopped

1 large stalk celery chopped

2 cloves garlic minced

1 or more fresh minced jalapenos depending on preference

1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes or the equivalent of fresh crushed tomatoes

1 28 oz can tomato sauce

1/2 28 oz can water or stock

1 can black beans

1 can pinto beans

2 cans light kidney beans drained & rinsed

1/4 cup chili powder

1/2 cup cumin

1/2 Tbsp oregano

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

I think that's all.

I like to use the Ro*tel diced tomatoes with green chilies. Used to use the whole peeled but diced is easier and has the peppers already added.

I have been adding cinnamon to mine, really gives it depth.

I have been adding cinnamon to mine, really gives it depth.

I just use a taller pot.

This was also my first venison chili weekend of the season

Open 2 cans of tomato sauce and 1 can of diced tomatos and add to crock pot. Open and drain 2 cans of red beans. Do a rough squish of the beans from 1 can and add the other can whole. I cube and fry up the andouille sausage then remove it and throw it in my crocky. In the same pot I add and onion, 6 cloves of garlic, 1 green pepper and 2 poblanos. (all diced). Add 2 squirts of honey. add to crockzilla.

Throw in ground beef and fry. Add chili powder and S&P. Open a can of chipotles in adobo sauce. Pour in a little and I mean a little bit of the adobo sauce into the meat (a little goes a long way in adding the smoke flavor. Take the rest of the peppers and rinse the sauce of and give the a rough chop and throw them in.

Finally take about a #1 of okra rinse and cut into small slices. Cook over night and them win.

I also add a small amount of Cinnamon to the beef and occasionally a creole seasoning to the veggies like tony cacheres.
