I smite thee in thy countenance from across the internetwork.
Ouchie, got me right in the TCP stack
Careful, thats region dependent. You’re likely to get attacked if you add beans to chili in some parts.
“Add” beans to chili? It’s a bean dish! The main ingredient is beans!
Beans aren’t legumes homie, peanuts are though…
Fuck regions, I cook for tasty not tradition
Red kidney beans for sure I’m serious
Cumin
Uh… Vodka…?
Pretty sure that would boil away without contributing much flavor.
Please don’t add bloody mary mix.
One small diced onion, two minced garlic cloves, two diced celery stalks, ~12 oz diced tomatoes, two tablespoons tomato paste, one teaspoon worchestershire, two cups beef stock, half teaspoon sugar, salt and paper.
Simmer a minimum of two hours but four is better.
Cumin to ground it.
Perhaps a tsp of cocoa for some mystery Cincinnati.
No no no! I don’t know who started this fucking thing, Cincinnati chili has never contained cocoa. I literally live here, and I’ve heard it from tons of transplants and natives alike. No chili parlor here uses it, no recipes I’ve seen use it.
Not a Cincinnati guy, but I have eaten chili there and made my own, and I’m gonna second that
But I do add some cocoa powder to my regular chili recipe, and people rave about it. Sounds a bit weird, but consider, for a momento the existence of Mexican Mole sauces that often contain chocolate. I’m not adding much, it doesn’t taste chocolatey, but it does add something nice to the whole flavor profile.
Adding it to Cincinnati style chili wouldn’t be traditional, but I could definitely see it working very well with the flavor profile if you didn’t care about making it authentic
Oh yeah? Well I live in Cleveland! Here’s some chocolate, because we have the better food! Not to mention the romanburger!
Hence, *mystery*….
A shit ton of onions and a bit of garlic. Season with lime and salt.
And beans.
Onions, garlic, chili powder, cayenne powder, smoked paprika, cumin powder, coriander powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Sauté the onions, add the garlic, then add fresh peppers, add all the spices, add tomatoes, add the browned meat.
Chili is pretty simple. The key thing to get right is the spices and salt. If the flavour is weak then add more. Keep tasting and adjusting until it’s good.
You add the Peeps to the chili, and then it tastes… bad.
It tastes better when you add People, particularly the rich ones…
Cumin. Garlic. Beef broth.
Don’t use bloody mary mix. Add tomatoes, whether skinning and cutting them yourself, using a can of diced or crushed tomatoes, or tomato paste. If fresh or paste, add chicken stock.
You’ll also want an acid. Can be vinegar, lemon juice, or even mustard.
Wayne Gretzky suggests red wine, Worcestershire sauce, and pineapple chunks.
Fuck that guy.
lol, you’re correct, I briefly forget he be maga bc he was so fucking great…
Was it the pineapple chunks?
My chili recepie has beans in it, otherwise it’s not chili in my book. Anyway you did not invite me to eat it so I don’t really have any right to complain.
I’d add onion, paprika, and garlic to your mix.
Dark chocolate. Half a bar (50g) to give it a richer flavor, 2 bars (200g) to make Chocolate Chili, the best winter food known to mankind.
Don’t add the bloody mary mix. Add some salt, garlic, onions, and beans. You can try and fight me but good luck. I have the power of being right on my side
Frijoles.
te golpeo a través de internet!
I don’t really get beanless chili unless you draping it over a hotdog.
even then
I’d say garlic salt, but then again I’ve been known to put garlic salt in a bowl of Cheerios and milk on more than one occasion, so take my advice with a grain of garlic…
I love peanut butter in my chilli
If you absolutely must use bloody mary mix for some reason
Brown up your beef, saute up some diced onions and crushed garlic and the peppers
Add it all to a pot, add the bloody Mary mix
Season with some cumin, and (if needed, some bloody Mary mixes can be pretty heavily seasoned) salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder, chilli powder, maybe some herbs like cilantro, oregano, maybe basil
Maybe a bit of flour to help thicken it, otherwise you’re gonna need to be very judicious about how much mix you use or it’s gonna take forever and risk the flavor getting weird trying to reduce it down and concentrating the seasoning in the mix.
If it’s coming out a bit too tangy and acidic, a bit of sugar or maybe brown sugar can help cut that
If you can, consider using some fresh or canned tomatoes, or even plain tomato sauce, that’ll probably get you a better texture, but I suspect that if that were an option you could, should, and probably would skip the bloody Mary mix
I’d also maybe consider adding some bell peppers to the mix to make it a little chunkier. Maybe some corn.
Maybe some bacon, chorizo, some diced meat in addition to the ground, etc.
I like to add a beer, but starting with bloody Mary mix that’s probably gonna thin things out a bit too much. Wine and stock would be other options but with the same problem.
End of the day, chili is a stew, and the origin of stews is pretty much just throwing whatever you have in a pot and letting it simmer, there’s not too much to it.
at least a little bit of water or broth unless you want it to burn

SALT, garlic, onion, tomatoes, and obviously beans, your threat be damned it’s the right call
