Gary HancqWell SeasonedPort Byron, IL (pop. 1,647)SidEFiedMember Since Jan 2010Gary's Notes:
Among five contestants this Chili took every 7 out of 8 votes cast during our last Chili Cook Off.
Guess it earned it's Title. Much of it had to do with my "Special" Hot Chilis/Pepper powder, which see. And, an ample amount of meat.
I make my Chili so that 5 and 6 year old's can eat it. I at time like it mild other times hot. I then let those that indulge provide the degree of "heat" to their liking, when they are served up a bowl. And -- I provide the means to do it.
Sliced Corn Bread is an excellent accompaniment. I note the "Brand Names" used. It's the only way to insure consistency, and be able to duplicate it time after time.Comments from the Test Kitchen:
We were totally wowed by the flavor of this chili. It has the perfect amount of "classic" chili seasoning and the heat level is just right.
Directions
I prepare this in a large 6 to 8 quart soup pot, or distribute everything equally between two crock pots (Ladling contents back and forth for consistency). You could also reserve a considerable amount of the beans until the ingredients and liquids cook down some. The beans need only to be heated. You could add additional beans to stretch, as the contents get used.In soup pot or crock pot add the two large cans of Tomatoes and the canned Beans drained and rinsed, in colander and start to heat.Fry up Hamburger and lightly Salt and Pepper and add 1 tablespoon of Chili Powder. Chop Hamburger leave somewhat coarse and chunky. When 2/3 cooked add coarsely diced onion. When cooked scrape hamburger to side, tilt pan and ladle off excess fats. Most will be juices.Add cooked hamburger to pot. Add 1/2 cup water to fry pan and scrape drippings from fry pan and add to pot. Stir occasionally. If crock pot is too full ladle off some of the contents and reserve. Things will cook down.Add seasonings and diced "mild" Jalapeno pepper slices (If not mild use less): Then 1 tablespoon Chili Powder, 2 teaspoons Cumin, 1 teaspoon Salt and 1/2 teaspoon Pepper.Stir contents and taste. Again, I prepare Chili mild so 5 and 6 year old's can eat it, as well as all of those that indulge.Note: To add "heat" to individual servings provide: Tabasco Sauce, additional hot or medium Jalapeno slices, Cayenne Powder, additional Chili Powder. You could offer chopped onion and shredded cheese on side.Note 2: To add additional "heat" I provide my special dried and ground hot Chilis/Pepper powder, consisting of 7 to 9 varieties of hot peppers. 1/10 teaspoon of it will heat a bowl of Chili to a nice warm average person's heat preference. The "Braver Souls" can heat it just as much as they can endure. See my "Drying and Grinding of Hot Chilis/Peppers". It provides a depth and range of flavors.Note 3: To transport Crock Pot contents I ladle off two quarts into quart jars and seal, turn crock pot lid upside down for safer transportation, then add back when I arrive at my destination.

This sounds like a winner. If you are making your chili in the crockpot you can add cornbread mix spooned on top of the chili and cover with 6 paper towels,replace the lid and don't touch it for 1 hour.You will have perfectly cooked and browned cornbread baked on top of your chili.

Natasha, I used the jarred sliced variety labeled "Mild". I make my chili so 4 and 5 year old's can eat it. I provide additional heat when serving up a bowl, for those that like more "Heat". Using fresh jalapenos or cayenne, or tabasco sauce or my dried ground hot pepper powder.
And, I sometimes like it hot other times mild. Happy Cooking, Gary.

Brea, I'm glad your "Country Boy" liked the chili. I'm a bit of a Country boy and Farm boy myself, hence my tag line sidEFied or "Sid E. Fied" for the "Citified Farm Boy". I'll post a vegetable beef soup in the near future. in the meantime if he likes cabbage try my Hamburger Cabbage Soup, heres the link: Hamburger Cabbage Soup. Happy Cooking, Gary
