Cinncinati Chili

[sweatnspice]

This weekend I whipped up my first attempt at Cinncinati Style Chili (http://www.hotsauceblog.com/hotsaucearchives/how-to-make-cincinnati-chili/) - Does anyone here have any recipe suggestions for my next attempt?

Runny? Chili is not meant to be runny.

i agree with ya..to me the thicker the better.

I've had chili where my first thought was... too many beans... Not like it's possible to have too many beans in chili, just that I don't like beans because they tend to explode in my mouth.

Either way... chili should be thick and yummy.

that is one of the tricky parts of competition chili is getting it not to runny not to thick.

Speaking of which... Greg and I were watching a CASI competition in Las Vegas on the Food Network the other day... Very cool stuff. We started watching it because he mentioned "Bubbas" and was wondering if you were one of them... Unfortunately, they were gone by the time I got to the TV. But since it was in Vegas, I figured it wasn't you.

Tina,
the beans in the chili explode in your mouth? Is there some sort of special chili that makes them do that? I have a couple of people I'd like to try that on. :D

The Cinncinati chili turned out rather thick - I made a bit too much though, still working through the leftovers. Next chili will have some beans though, I need to change it up

Screamers... did it say where to get them... and what flavour are they supposed to be?? Have you tried Kato's chocolate bar? That's yummy.

Hello!

Tried this receipe tonight - after an hour on the stove it's soup - after three, it's chili.

But, it's freakin' strange.

I now have a new subgenre - Gray Chili. The boiling aspect makes the meat incredibly tender, but it also gives it zero color.

Taste wise, I enjoyed it, but the wife never wants me to make it again. I enjoyed its alien character, but it would not be out of line to dub this "holiday spice chili".

Tabasco Habanero seemed like a good match btw.

I'd give it a 6/10

[sweatnspice]

Yeah, the wife also said it's a once a year chili. Just not something we can do more often. But that being said, I still thought it was pretty damn good in the interesting sense. The fresher the better on this one folks.

made some wicked chili with a mix of venison and moose..

Most recently I did something really different (for me anyway). On New years eve we had a pig roast. I took the left over pig...chopped it up and made my chili from that...was it ever good! Oh and I added some cut up hot itallian sausage as well.

my heat comes from a mix of bonnets, jalepeno, red finger chilis, chippotle and hungarian peppers...all very unique flavours...I use regular chili powder and an equal amount of cocoa powder (not chocolate...the bitter brown powder) gives the chili a great colour and compliments the pepper flavour perfectly.

I call my chili "kitchen sink chili" because I put everything in it but the kitchen sink! turns out nice and thick with chunks of mushroom, peppers, onions, sausage...and beans of course.

nobody here needs an actual recipe...no need to talk about tomatoes...this is just my variation on the traditional.

[Tina Brooks]

Something tells me that putting a kitchen sink in there wouldn't go over well.

would give a whole new meaning to the term "chunky chili" ...would be a good source or iron!lol

I feel the need for a trip to a dentist suddenly.

And you wonder why we want to go out for dinner???

lol

No No...NO! the kitchen sink is NOT in the chili!!! LMAO!

Truthfuly, as good a cook as I am... I'd be a bit intimidated cooking for a chef. although I am constantly being told that i should open a restaurant

[Tina Brooks]

lol, restaurants are intimidated by the Peppermaster.

Well then maybe HE should cook for US?

[Tina Brooks]

There is that, but then of course, you'd have to come to our house. There is no way that I nor you or anyone else could convince him to cook after working a 16 hour day!
