Well Partridge once we get back on the main server and search is working you will find that this has been covered. Somewhere there is a pre-existing thread with recipes, and a very funny story about a chili judging.

I recently developed the following buffalo chili recipe for a chili cook-off. It's very good and rather unusual, and the recipe wasn't in the other thread. With apologies for any ingredients you might not have local access to wherever you are (I'm in California, where we're big on hispanic and Asian ingredients), here goes:


Claire's Buffalo Chili
(makes about 2 gallons)


4 c. dried kidney beans, soaked and simmered until tender in 16 cups water seasoned with marjoram, onion, and one (two?) hot New Mexico pepper(s)
2 lb bulk pork sausage
3 lb ground buffalo
6 onions, chopped
1/8 c.?        New Leaf Fiesta blend bulk chili powder (this is a very flavorful and aromatic but not very hot chili powder blend; the hotness comes from the chile/garlic sauce later on)
1 BIG (23 oz?) bottle of Samuel Adams beer
3 1-lb cans diced fire-roasted tomatoes
Ground cumin to taste
Chipotle powder to taste
Salt to taste
5 Anaheim chiles, lightly charred and chopped
1 Poblano chile, lightly charred and chopped
The New Mexico pepper the beans cooked with, chopped
Grated peel of one orange
1 disk         Mexican chocolate, grated
Brown sugar to taste
8+ finely chopped corn tortillas
2 teaspoonsful Szechuan garlic-chile sauce (or more)
2 1-lb pkgs frozen corn (one yellow, one white)

Cook kidney beans; cool. Reserve the chile(s) that cooked with them.

Brown the pork sausage in a skillet in two batches, pouring off and reserving the pork fat. (Move the browned ingredients into a stew pot.) Since the buffalo is lean, brown that next in two batches, using some of the reserved pork fat if needed to keep the buffalo from sticking. Finally brown the onions. When they are lightly browned, mix the chili powder into them, then move to stew pot.

Deglaze the skillet with beer and dump that, the rest of the beer, and the tomatoes into the stew pot as well. Simmer for a half-hour or so, then add cumin, chipotle powder and salt to taste.

Let it go an hour or so more, then add the various chopped chiles, the orange peel, the chocolate, and the brown sugar. 15 minutes later, add the corn tortillas and simmer another 15 minutes or so while those dissolve (they will thicken the chile). Adjust the hotness with the garlic-chile sauce. (Remember the corn will tone it down a bit.) Finally add corn and heat only until the corn is hot. Adjust seasonings, adding salt, cumin, brown sugar, or chili powder if needed.

As a mere Englishman who knows nothing about superbowls apart from the fact that they must be attached to bloody large cisterns and can seat several devotees worshipping at any one time, what the hell has chilli got to do with several overpadded men nancying about with a tiny pointed ball on a garishly painted astroturf surface whilst a number of underdressed young ladies with IQ's smaller than their bust measurements prance about chanting?

I did watch some of this on tv once, for about 30 seconds. It was being broadcast on an obscure channel that emanated from somewhere the other side of the Horsehead Nebula. Now I think about it, perhaps the chilli is to provide a little excitement in the day.

Here's a really good recipe (seriously)!

Make a bunch of small meatballs -- plain ground beef is fine. Put them in a slow cooker (crockpot), covered with equal parts of beer and tomato ketchup (use catsup if you wish). Cook them for about eight hours, very slowly and on low heat. Periodically skim off the fat & grease.

Serve as an hors d'oevure, or over rice or noodles as a main dish.

Tell everyone that they took hours and hours to make and that it's a secret family recipe passed down for generations.

I don't know how in depth you want to do research... I stumbled across about 300 recipes at www.cookbooks.com   One of the more exotic kind of recipes...actually was the only one I could lay my fingers on at this point of the day.... is one title Venison Chile....

2 lb. ground venison
1 lb. ground beef
salt
2 packages chili mix
1 qt tomato juice
1 large can tomato paste
4 onions
4 Tbsp shortening
The night before brown the ground venison with some shortening to keep it from sticking. Salt to taste. Put it in a crock pot on low and simmer all night. Then brown ground beef and 4 onions. (I assume onions are chopped--it doesn't say in the recipe.)Mix all ground meat including venison in a large pan. Add chili mix, tomato juice, and tomato paste then simmer for about 30 minutes.If chili isn't the right consistency,you can add a little water or tomato juice and simmer a little longer.
Good luck with the venture :')
I'll see if I can locate my "Chili Lovers Cookbook" given to me by an alleged member of the Chili Tasters Association of America ('swhat he says anyways...) cheers

Ground beef or 1/2" cubed pieces of chuck steak--if you use ground meat, boil it instead of fry. Gets rid of the fat.
Kidney beans, canned
Tomatoes, canned
Carrots cut on a bias
Two stalks celery cut on a bias
Garlic, lots
Onions cut in large chunks
Chili powder
Hot stuff to your taste (red Tobasco works well)

When cooked--a few hours--put in a casserole and add grated cheese to the top.

Bake for 20 minutes at 350 F

You'll be fartin' by halftime and the Pats will be up by 10 points.

These recipes are from "CHILI MADNESS", "A Passionate Cookbook", by
Jane Butel.

I've tried this one--Gringo Chili
2 teaspoons lard, butter, or bacon drippings
1/2 medium onion coarsely chopped
1 lb lean beef round, coarse chili grind
2tablespoons ground red hot chili
1 tablespoon ground mild red chili
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 10 1/2 ounce cans tomato soup
1 10 1/2 ounce can onion soup
2 16 ounce cand kidney beans, drained

1. Melt the lard, butter, or drippings in a large heacy pot over
medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it is translucent.

2. Combine the meat with the ground chili, oregano, cumin, and garlic. Add this meat-and-spice mixture to the pot. Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is evenly browned.

3. Stir in the tomato soup, onion soup, and beans. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered for 1/2 hour until the liquids cook down and the mixture thickens. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serves four. This easy recipe makes up into a mild chili and in bigger batches is particularly good for children's parties, or football gatherings! A great change from the usual fare.


Here's another that I've been dying to try, but haven't for whatever reason it's called Buzzard's Breath Chili
3tablespoons lard, butter,or drippings
2 large onions, coarsely chopped
8pounds beef chuck or round, coarse chili grind
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
5 tablespoons, plus 1 teaspoon ground hot red chili
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
3 8-ounce cans tomato sauce
3 cups water
2 tablespoons salt
Parsley (optional)
1 cup masa harina (corn flour)

1. In a large heavy pot over medium heat, melt the lard ,butter, or drippings. Add the onions and cook until thy are translucent.

2. Combine the beef with the garlic, ground chili, cumin,, and oregano. Add this meat-and-spice mixture to the pot with the onions. Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally about 1/2 hour, until the meat is evenly browned.

3. Add the tomato sauce, water, salt , and optional parsley. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour.

4. Stir in the masa harina to acheive the desired consistency.

5. Cook 10 minutes longer, stirring. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serves 16.
Have some fun with this one. The original version calls for "dead cow meat", dried red ants, and cigar ashes. Well....you decide. It will probably be quite at home in your kitchen and without the insects or ash. Still, this recipe, everything included, took first prize at the Chili Appreciation Society, International Cookoff in Terlingua, Texas, in 1971.

I should also mention that if you let chili sit overnight, the ingredients meld together, get to know one another a little more and make for a better chili. Enjoy! Mike

Of all the super bowl threads to refresh this seemed the most on point, and look who was in it that time!

Anyway, I need Atlanta or Georgia recipes - I like to cook both teams. Now that I think of it, the obvious New England clam chowder is getting boring too.

If I want I can make rabbit since that is what falcons eat...

This article might shed some light on the origin of Boston Baked Beans.

Click here

From the article:

"Molasses is a byproduct of processing cane sugar, and is used as an ingredient in the distillation of rum. Boston became a manufacturer and exporter of rum in the late-1700s. Boston Baked Beans, or baked beans with molasses and salt pork, likely evolved into this new recipe at that time."

Well I'm going to experiment with rib-trim beef for my next chilli, which I expect to be eating on Thursday. Usually I'd use minced steak, but I have a few packs of rib-trim in the freezer which are very tasty but which didn't give us quite the right texture for a casserole. I'll chop up the meat into tiny cubes.

I need a deep cast-iron Le Creuset, in which I'll make a soffritto with olive oil, chopped carrots, chopped onions and chopped celery, not too fine, in which I'll put a pack of streaky bacon cut into little pieces. I'll add whatever dried chillis I have (I haven't checked but I probably have some bog-standard dried chilli flakes, some dried chipotle and some dried ancho chillies as well as a couple fresh red jobs). Get that lot softening up and have a cup of tea. After a while, I'll get my best big frying pan out, add a splash of groundnut oil, get that very hot and brown the meat for a few minutes. When the soffritto is done I'll throw in the meat then add, well, maybe a tin of Cirio plum tomatoes, a splodge of sundried tomato paste and a cupful of chicken stock if I can find any in the freezer, otherwise an organic beef stock cube and a cupful of water. I'll season it at that point. I'll get that lot simmering away for an hour, adding a bit more liquid if needs be, then taste it for seasoning and heat. If not hot enough, a few more chilli flakes. Time to get the rice on. Only basmati will do for me. While that's cooking, I'll throw in a tin of red kidney beans to the meat mix. When it's all done I'll whack the meat sauce and rice into a big bowl, at opposite ends, not one on top of the other, grate a bit of cheddar or parmesan on top and add a big dollop of sour cream/plain yog/creme fraiche. If you're a piggy, some tortilla chips too. I've been known to add a chopped up red pepper in the earlier stages, though I'm not sure that it adds that much.

Chili for the Choir

Basically, make your favorite chili recipe, but substitute french-cut green beans for the usual chili beans or kidney beans. I cook them half-way in the microwave and add them to the batch toward the end of cooking, so they aren't overcooked.

Just before serving, wet some chili powder and some cocoa powder (not cocoa mix) and stir them into the batch.

For a family-size batch, maybe 1.5 tsp chili powder and 1 tbsp cocoa.

Jiffy corn muffins make a good side dish.

Well I put a bit too much chilli in it. I've added a portion of bolognese sauce to it to dilute the heat somewhat. The upside is that I now have enough for two nights for the two of us. We won't be having it 'til Thursday by which time it should have mellowed. Using the chopped rib beef was very successful. Not everything has to be mince!

I'll be making Black Bean Chili for the big game and guacamole served with chips.
I've had good luck with this recipe though I use 3X the black beans called for and adjust the spices accordingly plus,thanks to a suggestion by CS who used to post here, I'll throw in a teaspoon of smoked paprika which makes a big difference. I should add that instead of chili powder I use Wick Fowler's 2 Alarm which, to me, is the best of those chili kits. I leave out his dried onion and masa flour though.

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium-large sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 large red onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
½ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 ½ cups vegetable stock
1 15-ounce cans black beans, rinsed
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
½ cup dried quinoa

That sounds very nice. I put a bit of chipotle in mine too, as well as some anchoa, a couple of fresh red chillies, some chilli powder and some chilli flakes. I didn't use my cumin as it was miles out of date, and what are you doing sticking quinoa in it?

Subject: RE: BS: need a chilli recipe for the super bowl
From: gillymor
Date: 25 Jan 17 - 12:50 PM

I actually like the texture the quinoa gives it (some don't) but mainly I include it because it gives you a big jolt of a complete protein.
I should also have mentioned that about half the time I substitute an 8oz. package Trader Joe's Meatless Ground Beef for the quinoa which gives the dish a really meaty texture and doesn't have any of that faintly bitter after taste I've experienced in some soy crumbles. Between the TJMGB and the smoked paprika I sometimes have a hard time convincing people that this dish doesn't contain meat. You're right, Steve, no cumin is better than stale cumin.

Hi Steve

Not surprised that your chili was a little too hot !! I would use half of that amount. Mind you me and 2er indoors" don't like very hot dishes. When our son comes and we make chili I make two. A mild one for us and the hottest I can get for him.

Instead of minced beef sometimes I use beef cheek and sometimes belly pork.

I will try your recipe but with a little less chili.
