How about some chili recipe's

I did the 3 bean and 3 meat from the F&D recipe book, turned out really good

here's the one i use when i want to make it fairly quick and easy:

3 lbs lean beef (ground sirloin) - brown meat on med. heat, and then drain off the excess fat juices

Add small can (8 oz) tomato sauce and the smallest can each of beef broth and chicken broth - simmer on low heat

you need to buy some Gebhardt chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin

Add one tablespoon of the chili powder, two teaspoons each of the garlic and onion powders, and one teaspoon cumin - simmer on low heat for 30 minutes - covered with lid

Add one teaspoon salt, black pepper, and red pepper and another small can of tomato sauce - simmer on low heat for 15 minutes - covered with lid

Add one tablespoon each of chili powder and cumin, may need to add a little water to get gravy just right - simmer on very low heat for 15 minutes - covered with lid

Turn off for 15 minutes and let sit covered

Add one tablespoon chili powder and one teaspoon salt - simmer for 5 minutes

Turn off and let sit covered for 5 minutes

Friend of mine made some quick chili to put over homemade tamales, with a pound of finely ground beef, finely chopped onions, a packet of Taco Bell mix,tomato sauce, a little extra chili and cumin powders and fresh chopped jalapenos. I was thinking it would be awful. It was pretty darn good, had a good texture for the purpose and would have been good over a hot dog.

5 alarm chili mix is all I use and I love it.
I use ortega instead of the tomato paste.

Wick Fowler's chili mix is the one I use.
Changes from directions on box-
-I use onions and garlic in mine (sweated down)
-instead of using two cans of water I use beef stock
- add 2 beef bullion cubes to pot (beefier taste and salt)
- I use half the salt packet only
- I do not use the red pepper supplied, I use 2 chopped canned chipolte peppers with 1 tsp of the adobo sauce that's in the can with the peppers
-I always add a can of red beans the last 15 minutes of cooking ( I like them in chili)
-you can always add a can of diced tomatoes if you want

Man, that was good.

And plenty of left-overs.
