Making some interesting chili tonight..

[elequin]

Haven't tasted it yet, but I think it's gonna be great.

2 lbs chili-grind beef
14oz beef stock
10oz beef consommé
10oz can of corn kernels
14oz can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes
2 chipotles in adobo sauce, chopped
2 TBSP tomato paste
1 small can chopped jalapeños
1 white onion, chopped
5 habaneros, chopped (girlfriend has to be able to eat it)
1 package Cin Chili seasoning (yes, I cheated, but man this mix is good!)
2 TBSP Gehardt's chili powder

Stock, consommé, tomatoes, corn, habaneros, chipotles and tomato paste put in crock pot turned on high. Beef browned in cast iron skillet, then removed with a slotted thingy that came with one of my fryers. Sautéed the chopped onion and jalapeños in the beef fat. Add all that to the crock pot, and add the Cin Chili seasoning and chili powder. Simmer for a an hour with the lid on, and then a couple with the lid off to thicken.

It's almost done, and I'm about to dish up with a dollop of sour cream, some chopped chives and yellow corn tortilla chips.

I'll report back how it is. :)

Oh man, probably some of the best chili I've made. Next time maybe more chipotle, and definitely more habanero. Oh yah, forgot to mention the cheddar cheese on top, too.

Think that next time I'll put some bigger chunks of meat too.

Now that is a bowl of good Texas Red served with the right beverage...sounds delicious...and I know the shiner is good......

[elequin]

The Shiner is excellent, of course. :) And even with only 5 habs, the chili made me sweat a little.

PM me if/when you're ready to get rid of some seedlings. I don't know if you're still willing to get rid of some since the aphid infestation.

Corn? I bet that will make for an interesting "morning after".

[Pepperfreak]

That sounds like great Chili! I usually always add corn to my chili too. Most of my friends have never heard of that before and think it is odd until they taste it. Now, I'm craving chili...

[texas blues]

Corn and even corn chips are a great thickener. That dish looks lovely as it is. It's got Tex-Mex written all over it.
Cheers, TB.

It's my Tex-Mex version of frito chili pie. :)

[texas blues]

Frito Pie!!! Say it loud and proud. I ate heaps of that as a kid. At school you would buy a small bag of frito's, then pour chili on top with cheese and onions. Ate it with a spoon right out the bag. Righteous eats!
Cheers, TB.

Frito-Lay really did it when they came out with the Frito Scoops. They are perfect to eat chili with!

[elequin]

Making this again today. Been simmering it since about 3pm, it's now a little after 9pm, so it should be ready soon. :)

As I said I would in earlier posts, I used more chipotle and habanero this time. Found some awesome red habaneros at the store today:
