Beer chili recipe

[ramey70]

Pumpkin is acceptable as long as it isn't pre-cooked.

They don't need authority. If you're adding beans then it's a moot point since it's not really chili at all.

I think chili tastes better over enchiladas or in a bag of crushed doritos covered in jack cheese. Though both at that point are no longer chili.

I love to wave a dead cat over my bowl of chili, but unfortunately that, not to mention wearing boxers backwards, chemically alters what is in the bowl, leaving it.....not chili.

IF YOU TELL ME THAT PUTTING CHILI ON A FREAKING CHILI DOG MAKES IT NO LONGER CHILI....I WILL FLASH FRY YOU AND PUT YOU IN MY NEXT BATCH.

Only relevant if you're cooking chili for a competition. Most people couldn't care less what the folks in some podunk Texas town put (or don't put) in their chili.

BRAVO sir.

I only brought up Terlingua again because a previous poster mentioned winning "cookoffs" with some cinnamon nutmeg pumpkin spice concoction. No cookoff of any relevance would ever take something so absurd seriously. Terlingua is a ghost town and merely hosts the two largest cook-offs in the country (both CASA and ICS sanctioned). The ICS hosts qualifiers all across the country and is based just near you...in Jacksonville, Florida.

Look I get that putting beans in chili can and often does tastes great. However, just as a chocolate cake may taste fantastic as well, it isn't chili either.

I never said that you HAVE to have beans. Or cinnamon or cloves.

They just make the VERY BEST chili.

So if you like bland crappy chili, have at it.

Hey guys, what's going on in here?

 

[cheezydemon3]

Hey Smizak! Some people tell me that if you serve chili over chips it is no longer chili, or if you add beans, no longer chili.

If it is not resting undisturbed in a bowl, it is not chili.

I wonder how it gets around that, when it is in the pot cooking?

At what point does this most mysterious of substances become chili?

Hey guys, what's going on in here?

Trying to figure out if aluminum is better than stainless I think....

 

[ramey70]

So you think a chain restaurant in Cincinnati, Ohio that calls a Greek sauce "chili" is the best chili in the world? Do you also feel McDonalds makes the best burgers? Perhaps the pinnacle of seafood in your eyes can also be found at Long John Silvers?

 

[cheezydemon3]

Absolutely ramey........that's why I make my own award winning chili.

But yes, skyline's is pretty freaking good.

 

[bob1852]

StarSan or Iodophor?

 

[ramey70]

I would actually like to try it, despite the misnomer, as it sounds like it would taste very good over brats. Real chili is usually too overpowering (my chili recipe usually includes one 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper with 7-8 roasted jalepenos per 3lb batch) when served over them in my opinion. Besides, they don't automatically include beans in it so I have to give them props for that.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Lol.

I am not telling anyone what to do.

I just don't like being told my beer isn't beer bacause I served it in a coffee cup.

 

[ramey70]

Ha! I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. Once you put chili over corn chips and add cheese it's no longer chili, but rather frito pie. Just as once you put it over a hot dog and a bun it's not longer chili, but a chili dog. And once you add beans it's no longer chili, but chili with beans.

I like mine pretty darned spicy too.

Roasted jalapenos eh? LOVELY!!!

I grow tons of peppers each year, but ripe red jalapenos are the most prized.

if it's in the bag...tis frito pie.
Not in a bag, it's a casserole.

If it's over tatertots in Minnesota, it's a hotdish.

Got caught up in all this nonsense (ok it is kinda funny) and forgot to respond to something cheezydemon posted:

NO IPAs IN FOOD.

Dude, try these roasted garlic ipa mash potatoes and you'll change your mind about that statement. Made them the other night am posting the video on my site tomorrow. So good!

Lol, I WILL!!!!

I made IPA gravy once and it ruined perfectly good gravy. That is where I derive most of my opinion.

It's easy to screw up with IPAs. I put a couple ounces of my PTE clone in a shrimp stir fry once and didn't think about how much it would concentrate the bitterness. YOWZA!!!

That was my point, how can bitter be SOOOOO good in beer, but taste like ASS in food?

Just has to be used correctly, and definitely not overdone. It goes great in those mash potatoes. You should listen to the new Homebrewed Chef show on The Brewing Network. Sean Paxton is great on there and gives all sorts of tips. He mentioned a spicy Caribbean dish he made with an IPA that uses citrusy hops to compliment the citrus flavors in the fish. The man knows cooking with beer.

 

[munche]

Those mashed potatoes sound awesome. Stone has an awesome Ruination cheese soup that was amazing.

Also re: that chili argument, I'm not a food scientist but i thought "chili" was referring to the pepper.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Had to go there munche.......yeah, I believe chili is either mexican, or a misunderstanding of mexican, either way it had beans

 

[SkinnyShamrock]

I only use malty beers in cooking. I've never had success with hoppy beers in food. Hoppy beers are good for drinking with spicy foods, but not in them. If you ever have Thai food, drink an IPA with it, you'll wonder how you lived before it.

I use Troegenator (big doublebock, doesn't know what hops are) in chili all the time, just yesterday as a matter of fact. I make brown ale gravy a lot to put on mashed potatoes. Stouts make excellent additions to desserts...coffee stout in chocolate chip/walnut cookie bars, yum.

 

[smizak]

I just watched a youtube video on making Indian food. Dude threw a handful of peas into the food and then said it has a different name now. I lol'd and thought of this thread.

I'm having a chili cookoff this weekend at the house with a few friends and some homebrew. I copied some rules from another organization and some of my friends freaked out when it said " NO Beans or Pasta"

I'm born and raised in Texas, it's just how I do it. I've had chili all over the US and could care less if it had beans in it. One thing I am strictly opposed to is Turkey or "White" Chili thats more of a soup. That sh*ts for Hippies.

.......and your name is PAUL.

Thanks for playing.

I made some awesome turkey.....soup last year.

All the little boys in TEXAS playing in the dirt and making up chili rules can all go and............................

Alright. Never mind.

Send me a copy of THE RULES, and every fifth batch of chili I make, I will make some TEXAS RED.

I have nothing positive to say to this.

Yay for opinions!

Yay for my opinion of your opinions!

Gotta go jump in my Prius and pick up a white turkey white bean chili turkey dog and rock out to some Phish. Brb.



I keed

Impossible. If it has beans you never made chili on the first four batches.

Lol, for some reason, I find your zealous humor.......FUNNY.

I would appreciate a smiley though.

I also appreciate your "puzzler" like approach to logic.

HOWZ DIS......

Every fifth time I make chili/ chili WITH BEANS(your words) I will adhere. If, however, CINNAMON is banned....I will move to texas, assume a false identity(involving chaps and a 10 GALLON HAT) win the chili OLYMPICS (or WHATEVER TF) and then reveal that my award winning SH!T had cinnamon and cloves and pureed beans.
