You may or may not want to eliminate the bells some people like them in
chili. I'm on the "no bells" side but I don't think it makes it nasty or
anything. In any event, I'd add the pablanos to your tase.


If you really like it hot and spicy, pick up some ground dry chipotle
peppers or chipotle pepper in adobo sauce. Here's a link with some info
on them: http://www.mexgrocer.com/1349.html

Chipotles are smoked and dried jalapenos.

Get the beans out of there. That is the only major problem with your
recipe. Once the beans are gone you can start modifying it towards a
perfect beer chili.

Aw, lighten up Charlie. It ain't brain surgery that we're talking about.
How many things/recipes do you know of that there aren't a massive
amount of variations on based on geography, ethnic influences, etc. It's
only cookin' and it's all good. (well, most of it anyhow)

Nope. Can't have the tomatoes either. Nor the bell peppers, powders, and
cayenne. That ain't chili. The beer is ok as it has been titled "Beer Chili"
which is enough of a modifier to satisfy me. ;-)

I like to refer to my chili as Midwestern Chili. That includes tomatoes
and beans. The addition of beer intrigues me. I don't drink the stuff,
but I like to cook with it.

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.

needed to achieve that rich, red hue.

I saw that recipe too, and thought it looked pretty bad. Soak a few
dried New Mexico chile peppers in some boiling water. (remove most of
the seeds first.) Grind them up in a blender with the soaking water,
and use the resulting paste instead of the bell pepper. Fresh peppers
are not a good substitute for the dried ones. Add cayenne to taste near
the end rather than using 1/2 tsp. because sometimes the New Mexico
peppers are hot and sometimes they are not -- but they have the same
great flavor either way.

I would also reduce the cumin to 1 tsp or less.

I also don't use tomatoes in my chili. It is plenty red from the dried
chile peppers. One can of stewed tomatoes should be more than enough;
there is no need for the tomato sauce.

HTH, :-)

On the contrary - I would up it to at least a tablespoon (or more). Good
chile always has lots of cumin.

My Texas in-laws would stop you right there while yelling,
"Oh my GAWD, he's RUIINED it! Durn fool put BEANS
in his CHILI!!!!!"

I personally tend to agree - "chili" is a concoction consisting
of meat in a spicy and sometimes tomato-based sauce, but
it ain't got none a' them thar beans in it...but I would tend to
use more diplomatic language...:-) The bell pepper, I would
question but am willing to overlook...

I'm a Texan born and raised.
I tend to migrate towards cooking things the way I like them and not pay too
much attention to doing it a certain way just for tradition's sake.
Bellpepper will most likely go, but I love the flavor of pablamo's. I will
take a poll with the family about the beans and decide sometime before I
have to add them or not.

Well gosh folks, I'm a 68 year young Texan and been eating chili since
eating it in the cotton rows back in the 40's. Mama used to sometimes
bring a big pot along to the field and just warm it up at dinner (lunch)
time. Those high-falootin' folks who could afford to make chile without
using beans to stretch it further, more power to 'em but it ain't the
chili I've grown up with.
