c-towns Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I love it, but the wrong choice of beans can ruin a masterpiece.I prefer the multi-meat kinds, this week its lean ground beef and sausage amongst a multitude of peppers (sweet and hot) but these damn beans gotta go.share your creations, I'd share mine but I'm kind of a use what you've got kind of chef, ask solar g about the heady space burgers.....

Sarahbelle Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 reaaaallly U don't like the beans?? I love the beany goodness of chili. I Like to put veggies in it too.. like carrots, mushrooms (the canned kind.. I don't know why I like them.. but they are great in chilli) Corn, celery and maybe some squash.I usually put cumin, chilli powder and sometimes a touch of cinnamon...lots of garlic and onions...I feel like no matter what U put into chilli it turns out great evertime...

c-towns Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Oh, don't get me wrong, I love the beans, i think I just selected the wrong kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Oh, don't get me wrong, I love the beans, i think I just selected the wrong kind.What kind did you use? Red kidney beans are standard, but I've made chili with black beans (canned, rinsed) and had it work fine.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolarGarlic Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 When I make it I use red kidney, black, pinto and a few garbonzo (chick peas). That 4 kinds! They pack a lot of punch....You should try getting dry beans, soak 'em in water all day if you're making it at night or all night if you're making it the next day. They are WAY better than any shite from a can..I also find that cilantro is key to a good batch of flame stew. I cook some in and I add fresh stuff at the end.

Jaimoe Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I really love beef chili, but substituting ground turkey is almost as good. Turkey lasagna is darn good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I've made chili with actual steak (cubed, dusted with season flour, browned in oil with onions, then stewed in the rest of the chili as it cooks) as opposed to ground beef, and it comes out really nice.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Veggi chili is for suckers, ground turkey is a good beef substitute and it isn't a carcinogen like beef is. I've actually seen people eat my wife's turkey chili and lasagna and not know the difference. Suckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
