How do you eat your chili?

[Don Frelier]

I wouldn't be against trying that. Added when making it? Or after it's served?

She adds it to the batter it's like dinner and desert at the same time.

We keep a bottle of Cholula around always. My FIL turned me onto it years ago. Topatio is good stuff too

One of the famous chili cooks was, of course, Carroll Shelby who was one of the founders of the annual Chili Cook Off competition held at Terlingua, Texas.
These days, you can buy his chili mix just about anywhere, even on Amazon.

But this is what he was cooking up in the 1960s for his chili parties at Terlingua. Good for about forty people

Carroll Shelby's Chili

20 lbs. coarsely round round or chuck beef
12 large onions, finely chopped
6 green bell peppers, chopped
6 red bell peppers, chopped
rendered suet or oil
5 15-oz. cans tomato sauce
1 gal. water
10 Tbs. chili powder
2 1/2 tsp. cayenne
5 tsp. black pepper
5 tsp. oregano
10 tsp. ground cumin
20 cloves garlic, finely chopped
salt to taste
drained canned kidney beans, (optional), as desired

Brown meat, onion, and bell peppers in suet or oil. Transfer to a large pot and add tomato sauce and water. Mix well.

Stir in remaining ingredient, except beans. Let cook for one to two hours, stirring occasionally. If beans are desired, add for the last half hour of cooking time, or heat separately and serve as a side dish.

I usually use Shelby's chili pack as a starter.

After hearing me talk about this thread, my wanted me to make chili so we cooked up a batch yesterday. We like ours with beans even though we know  real chili doesn't have them.

Ingredients ready to go

Ready to eat...

Finished with some cheese, diced onion and oyster crackers with jalapeño cornbread on the side. Man, it was good.

Put enough in the fridge for another meal plus extra for chili dogs. Put the other half in the freezer for later.
