Chili

[BeachSiO2]

yes, you could say BR's Chli Recipe is life changing. It definitely changed the way I will make chili from now on. The secret is to make your own seasoning, plus molasses! There is so much chopping that I finally got out my food processor and that worked out fine (I normally like to chop by hand to get the right consistency).

We chop it all by hand. Thank about how much it is when you make 4 gallons! WHOA!:shock: I am tired of chopping for a while (and browning meat).

They are great on Nachos with some Jalapeno slices.

the chopping is a beach, no lie!

maybe I can do it in shifts next time, starting early in the day. I do prefer hand chopping.

we served the chili to company who said it was the BEST they had ever had. we agreed! I wonder if mine is better than yours BeachSio! hahahahaha

You should bring the crew over to the next Chilympiad and we'll find out! It's in February:boxing:

BR's chili recipe has changed my life (or at least the Chili part). I just finished up the last of my leftovers this week as part of a big nacho dinner. When you make 4 gallons it lasts a while so now the freezer is empty until it gets cold again.

I have a batch in the freezer - great idea to do some nachos!

Thanks, y'all! I have been making this for many years. Right now I am looking for the original recipe that was printed in the AJC. I think I'll frame it!

I'm gonna try this next year, if B2Sio could only make 4 gallons last this long then it's gotta be good.

my only suggestion is to not wait for next year. good chili is good any time!

oh, I had forgotten about another change I made because Publix did not have ground pork. I used ground turkey (in place of pork) and ground beef (as called for), and was afraid it was going to be ruined! It was still absolutely delicious. I want to do the ground pork next time though - I'm sure its even better.

True, probably a good time to do a giant batch before the weather gets too ridiculously hot for that amount of cooking.

Hokay, so I've volunteered to help a community group enter the local chili cookoff that raises money for charity.

We need to make at least 15 pounds in order to participate. I'll make one batch. I'm not sure how pounds one batch will make. I think the group is coming to my house to prepare it all. Thankfully I have a big island in the kitchen (the architect told us it should be called a continent ) so that we can all have plenty of work space.

Any hints or suggestions, BeachSiO2?
