I haven't read a chili recipe yet.

This is my family version of chili

3 lb ribeye cut up into 1/4" pieces
1 large onion
5-10 garlic cloves depending on size. Sometimes I will roast the garlic to get a different taste profile
2 jalapenos diced small with the ribs and seeds taken out.
two quarts fresh tomato juice
2-3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons of homemade chili powder(three different chilis, garlic powder, onion powder, cumen, and oregano)
2-3 tomatoes diced
Worcestershire sauce
2-3 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
flour to thicken it up

I like mine spicy so I will put in a different chili powder that I made that has several different hot peppers like habanero jalapeno and Tabasco pepper along with the three I use for my regular chili powder. I will put a habanero in my chili but sometimes if the batch is not big enough its gets to be to much. I like to put a dark beer in on occasions. I am still trying to find the best dark beer to use for it. I tried some jalapenos in adobo sauce and it was pretty good.

toppings I usually put out is cheese, diced onions, hot sauce, sour cream, and crackers.

Always use Spicy V8 as my liquid base rather than Tomato Juice or Tom sauce. Also no matter which type of pepper you go with try broiling them first on a cookie sheet until they begin to blister, then immediately remove and toss into bowl of ice water. The skin will virtually fall off and the peppers full taste and heat will mingle with the rest of your ingredients better. Try Chorizo or Shredded BBQ Beef occasionally to change things up a bit with your favorite chili recipe.

BTW...real chili doesn't have beans in it. Look it up under the International Chili Society rules which I've competed in their competitions several times.

I love the taste of chili...but I despise beans.

I'm gonna have to try some recipes on here though, some sound so good.

I like to eat my chili with a peanut butter sandwich. During deer season, it was a peanut butter and pickle sandwich. Delicious.

Love this type of weather for making soups.
Chile is always a standard this time of year, we just made a pot last weekend.

I make most of the soups we eat from scratch. This weekend I was thinking about (5 different types of mushroom) Mushroom soup or Corn Chowder. However what I’m really hungry for is Beef Stew …

But for real...I made this the other night and it turned out pretty well. I don't consider it real chili though.

Soup, stew and chowder

Soup are thinner via additional water or stock added, Stew is much thicker and Chowder is thick w/ chunks … thickness is provide by milk or cream in the Chowder

Soups and Chowder can be prepared some what quickly but Stews are slow cooked over lower heat.
Note: My Clam Chowder takes almost 4 hours to make same as my Chili

Soups can be served hot and cold where Stew are served warm gerenally
Note: Cold Chili, Beef Stew and Corn Chowder is good ..

Bottom line is simple Soups, Stews and Chowder are all in a grey area of the cooking world. I put all three into the area of a Bowl … So they are … Bowl Food

+1. Same here, and got the idea last winter to cut out the middle man and put a few big globs of peanut butter INTO the chili.

Best damned chili I have ever eaten

Try subbing radishes for onions and tossing in some cinnamon or powdered chocolate for a sweeter Chili that is very good.
