I wouldn't say this is super spicy chili but it is only for me for my lunches for the week. Five kinds of chilis. Dried California chilies, dried Guajillo chilies, fresh jalapenos, canned green chili and cayenne powder. Rehydrated the dried chilis and blended into a paste (replaces chili powder), blended the canned green chilies with cilantro and garlic salt. Chopped the jalapenos and combined with chopped onion on a griddle until slightly charred, added cumin and cayenne powder with black pepper and garlic salt to the meat before heavily browning the meat (93% lean ground beef), beef stock, black and red beans to the pot. Canned diced tomatoes. No thickener but pretty thick chili.

I think I most likely made the best chili in the world tonight. If not the best then top 1%, for sure.

We've got a ward chili cook-off on Wednesday. Care to share your recipe?

Edit: Aha, I see you did in a later post.

Spicy food is overrated IMO ... the heat dominates the other flavours too much.

Said by someone who gets overwhelmed by spicy flavors and can't taste anything else.

Keep at it, son. Eventually you can taste past the heat and a whole new world of flavor opens up.

Now where is the pet peeve thread...

Chili is something I make differently, sometimes very differently, every time I make it. But I'm feeling good about this batch. A few things could have made it better, but I think I'm gonna like the layers of flavor in this.

I'm not against spicy food.. I grew up eating Thai food and can probably tolerate more than most. I love spicy food.


But when I see people making Larb with beautiful bbq'd meat on hot coals and sprinkling over a spoonful of chilli I cringe... to me it's a CRIME to hide all the beautiful flavour of the meat with so much chilli.

flavor of meat...

I don't give a **** about the flavor of meat. Meat tastes best when it is seasoned. That's when meat tastes good. Maybe just salt and pepper. Maybe hot chilies. Maybe citrus. Maybe something else. Meat taste good. i love meat. But please give me seasoned meat.
 
Happy with a bit of salt and pepper to complement it.. maybe even citrus... but chilli in my experience masks the flavour of meat due to the heat.


Too much Heat is bad for the Meat.


IMO
