No problem, just putting it out there.
I really like my chili any way. Beans, no beans, spaghetti, macaroni, etc. Doesn't matter to me. The only thing I hate is when it has huge chunks of tomatoes in it.
I like beans in my chili. I use dried, often various kinds. And at least a 1/2 lb of fresh Habanero peppers....
Good grief man, I don't envy you the next day! Does a fire extinguisher have pride of place in your bathroom?
Unless my stomach objects to something (which is seldom) I never have a next day ring of fire. (or ever)
My #2 son kept doing that,& wound up in the hospital with a growth in his stomach from the hot peppers (Scorpians,ghost chilis,etc)eating into his stomach lining. He gave me a crap ton of lil bottles of hot sauces. The green chili one was good. gotta look at the label & get some more. I used to make my HOLY SHIZZNITS! chili when the kids would get a cold,the flu,etc. It had a bunch of 3 or 4 different forms of Cayenne pepper in it. If you could keep a bowl or two down today,you'd be well enough to go to school or work the next day. I guess it made the lil nasties go belly-up over night? #2 son swore by it...I think I created a monster that darn near destroyed itself...
Can you verify that you meant a whole head of garlic and not a clove? A whole head seems like an awful lot.

My chili always starts with a 5-ish pound brisket and a whole head of garlic. The rest are variables.

Most of the recipes in this thread are looking awesome! Except for the ones that look like they could keep giving for days...
Vegetarian chili with navy, pinto, black and kidney beans, celery, onion, red and green peppers, couple cans of diced green chiles, fire roasted tomatoes and charred/skinned poblano peppers. Bay leaf, chili powder and smoked paprika, cumin. Serve with plain Greek yogurt as sour cream substitute, fresh cilantro and shredded Mexican artisan cheese. I love a crisp well hopped beer like Deschutes with spicier food. Just made this 2 days ago. Yummy

I'm sure it's tasty but what you have there is bean salad, not chili.
I don't get the "keep giving for days" and I am a little unclear on the MSG. so MSG is naturally occurring??? (yes I posess googles and the interwebz, but I like you guys better )
I applied a bit of google fu to the question and came up with a few posts just like the one above with someone mentioning it and never backing it up. No science papers, no chefs talking about it, nothing. Here is a quote from About.com:
Since its discovery, three methods have been used to produce MSG: vegetable protein hydrolysis, direct chemical synthesis, and bacterial fermentation.
I thought maybe vegetable protein hydrolysis might be the culprit in cooking but after following that path I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be it either. I'm calling bunk on this one until someone can prove otherwise.
I've got a good recipe that I've entered into competition twice with one win and one tie for first. My issue is a pot of it runs me about $100 or so which is why I don't make it very often.
Recipe?
