I shall call it
"Beertomatoebean Chili"
Say it fast and as one word to pronounce it right

Now as far as powders, I put "Texas Gunpowder" it for sure!

My in-laws bought a case of it and they keep it sealed in there deep freeze.
They gave me some for Christmas. If I put more than 1/16 tsp in, my wife
can't eat it (too HOT). I add a dash to my bowl.

Never considered it a problem. I guess if you eat whole garlic before the
beans, it will just smell like you are cooking Italian food then.

Nah, with macaroni, it's usually "goulash" (don't blame me - I don't call
it that). In other regions, I believe it's called "chili mac".

Midwestern Chili sounds mighty fine Carol! It is descriptive and light on
the tongue. I think the use of "Chili" on it's own or "Texas Chili" should
have some restrictions. Adding another name to it is perfectly fine in my
mind. I love "Cincinnati Chili"! I've tried using beer in chili but didn't
much care for it. I like to drink my beer. Nevertheless, give it a try --
you might like it. Use a full bodied beer though.

Okay, kiddo. I'll go in and change the title of my chili recipe. Glad you

The beets would certainly add a lot of color, reducing the amount of spices
needed to achieve that rich, red hue.

Not at all! The monkey wrench is a time-honored test
for the spiciness of your chili; if, after stirring with the
wrench for five minutes, more than half the wrench still
remains, then you have to add more...

And you don't ever worry about the half that comes
up missing, of course, since we all know that everyone
needs more iron in their diets....

Here's my chili recipe, approximated.

beef (3 lbs of chunks)
beer (1 can)
onions (2)
garlic (6 cloves)
chiles (a few tablespoons of ancho chile powder)
(a few tablespoons of new mexico chile powder)
(6 chopped chipotles in adobo)
cumin (a couple teaspoons)
oregano (a couple teaspoons)
salt (a couple tablespoons)

Brown beef. Brown onions and garlic in beef fat.
Combine all ingredients in large pot. Simmer until tender. 2+ hours.
Serve over pinto beans and rice.

You forgot to list the water. (Or reduce the salt and use canned beef
broth.) But it looks a whole lot better than most.

I don't add any water. I cook it in a covered pot. The onions
and beef release enough liquid to make a nice, thick, chili. No
thickeners added. When I first put everything in the pot, it looks
like there isn't nearly enough liquid. By the time everything simmers
for a while, there is plenty. I've never measured how much salt I
add, but it seems to take a ton before it tastes right -- maybe
because I don't use any beef broth.

Could use more onion. Could use some papprika. Could use real minced garlic. Kill the onion and garlic powder - why put poop in your soup... Swap the can of tomato sauce for tomatos. Add diced celery. Maybe some cilantro. Add corn meal disolved in the liquid of your choice to thicken if necessary toward the end of cooking. Beers vary in taste, I don't think I'd use steam beer, IPA, Guiness, or anything too roasted or highly hopped as hops in a bittering agent and too dark roasted MIGHT make people think you burned the chili... Use finely diced rather than ground meat.
Also needs salt...

Maybe you should just drink those beers instead of wasting them in that
slop... you can't make chili without chilis.

And just what do you call cayenne, sheldon? Pasta perhaps? It is minimal
at best, I agree. And isn't there some chili in the Mexican-style stewed
tomatoes?
