Chili Day

Dave's Chili recipe

Cooking stuff needed

  • Crock pot or slow cooker.
  • Strainer.
  • 1 large frying pan.

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. ground beef
  • One tablespoon or so Olive oil.
  • 4 anaheim peppers (2 large green peppers can sub)
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 1/2 onions
  • 2 small cans sliced jalepeno peppers with juice.
  • 2 cans diced tomatoes with juice.
  • 2 cans pinto beans.
  • 1 cup flour or corn startch
  • 1/2 bag pre-shredded blended mexican or cheddar cheese.
  • Lemon Pepper, Cumin, Chili Powder, Salt and Pepper to taste.

Directions

  1. Cover bottom of large skillet with olive oil, add diced garlic and cook 1 minute.
  2. Add beef, separate into fine chunks and add lemon pepper. Cook till brown.
  3. Strain beef to remove extra fat, transfer to your crock pot.
  4. Dice Onions and Peppers and add to pot.
  5. Add, beans, tomatoes and jalepenos to pot with all juices from cans. Add one cup of water using one of the cans.
  6. Add a few tablespoons of cumin, chili powder. Usually I use about a third container of each from your normal sized small spice container.
  7. Add half a cup of flour to one of your empty cans and fill it with cold water till 3/4th full. Mix with a spoon till creamy then add to pot.
  8. Let cook for 90 mins stirring every 30 mins, then repeat last step with more flour if it's not thick enough. Taste and add more chili or cumin as needed.
  9. Cook another 60 mins then add two handfuls of shredded cheese and mix into the chili.
  10. Cook for 30 more mins then serve with saltines! Enjoy.

If you decide to use corn starch, DO NOT use the same amount of corn starch as flour, or you'll be making chili jello. 2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with a half a cup of cold water will suffice for a recipe of this size. It won't appear thick at first, but when brought to a boil it'll uniformly thicken the sauce.

Fuck dat. Beans or it ain't chili. You need beans.

I like beans in my "chili," but it's not really chili. Traditional chili doesn't have beans. As the saying goes, "If you know beans about chili, you know chili has no beans." Beans are often forbidden in chili cookoffs. Throw in beans if you like them and eat chili with beans.

@SaturdayNightSpecials: Jalapeños give me serious heartburn. I leave them out and people still enjoy my concoction, even though it's not really chili since it has beans and not peppers.

Is it just a Giantbomb crew thing? Why have I never before heard of this?

Based on what Rorie said over on screened it sounds like it was a team building exercise which still kind of baffles me as I thought those team building things had you do something different but I digress.

Anyway thanks for the chili recipe will have to try it and thanks for the corn starch substitute so I can make it gluten free. Now I just have to make this then eat this then suffer through the consequences.

@Claude: It tasted pretty great! Adding the flour to thicken it up a little was a good shout, I probably should have added a little more, even. I also added a few more chillies because, hot damn, I love spicy food. I ate it with rice, because that was pretty easy to sort out. I forgot to add cheese though, and I should really have got some sour cream and guacamole to stick on there. Lots of flavour though, which was perfect. Whenever my parents used to cook chilli it was always very bland (vegetarians -___-), but this had a really good flavour to it. I went a bit overboard on the garlic, but I love garlic so that's fine. No regrets!

Those are lots of words. I thought this was simple.  
 
Seriously though, I might try this. I'll have to kosherify the recipe first though (no cheese & kosher beef).

Alright so I followed Dave's instructions and it actually turned out pretty great! The picture doesn't really do it justice:

No Caption Provided

I also fucked up the measurements quite a bit, and was just using a regular pan (Which wasn't really big enough, which is why it looks like it's overflowing) so I ended up economising on a lot of the ingredients. I have to say that this was fantastically spicy, which was perfect. It cost me about £20 in all, which was my entire food budget for the week, but I now have enough chilli to last me the next 3 or 4 days, so I'm not going to starve. Never not chilli, apparently?!

One thing that Dave's blog doesn't have is how did it taste. The group involved is silent. So, how did it taste? Now if one were drunk, I'm sure it was good eatin'.

Thanks Dave! The cheese mixing is a fantastic idea - I've never been into putting cheese on top of chili, but mixing it into the pot to add smoothness sounds like the best thing ever. Definitely going to try this.

I ALWAYS strain the beans and wash them first because that fucking goopy gel in the canned beans ruins the flavor for me. Fresh Jalapenos are key as well, with the seeds. You get a much more bitter and spicy chili that way than if you use canned or jarred ones. Who wants soggy peppers anyway?

My argument would be that chili is goop. There's not much reason to delay the inevitable.

Touche, Snider.

I would rather try Hardcore Dave's chili, which is identical, but you swap Anaheim peppers with ghost peppers. 
 
Also, I ate chili two days in a row. How did Dave know?

@OldGuy: No beans? You're not eating chili, then.

Actually, he is. Chili is basically chili peppers and meat with some other spices, no beans. This is why chili dogs don't have beans. I just happen to like the texture of the beans, so I make chili with beans, which most people (incorrectly) call chili. Now vegetarian chili is not chili what so ever.

Either it's because I'm on the wrong side of the world or I'm just an idiot but I don't think I've ever seen Anaheim peppers before. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being some insane extra hot Indian curry that's made tasting redundant because your tongue is burning, how hot is it?

A typical Anaheim is a fairly mild chile. At the hottest they are around a jalapeno but usually are much more mild. They follow the bigger the pepper is the milder is thing fairly well. A scoville scale:

While chili is certainly a glorious food, I still feel confused by the existence of Chili Day. More specifically, why did it take place at Dave's apartment instead of at the office? Is there a reason they spent most of the day at Dave's recording a podcast and Quick Look, or is Whiskey Media just a really easygoing company?
