Duey's Corner Tap in our small town has served their traditional bowl of chili for many, many years. Every now and again I get a hankering for just such fare. Such was the case a couple of days ago. After I enjoyed a bowl I set about to replicate it. It is quite different from my usual preparation of chili. It consists principally of a highly chili seasoned tomato base and fine ground hamburger, with a very sparse amount of dark red kidney beans, thin sliced celery and thin sliced canned mushrooms. This recipe very closely approximates that bowl of goodness served at Duey's.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 can tomato juice 46 oz.
  • 1 can tomato paste 15 oz.
  • 1 can thinly sliced mushrooms 7 oz.
  • 1 can dark red kidney beans 15 oz.
  • 2 - stalks celery thinly sliced
  • 1 - pat butter for celery
  • 1 jar chili powder 2.5 oz.
  • 1 tablespoon salt, half to ground beef half to crock pot
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper added to ground beef
  • 1 can water 15 oz.

How To Make duey's corner tap -- chili knock off

  • Step 1
    In large fry pan brown and cook ground beef. As it cooks I mash it fine with a wire potato masher. You want it quite fine. Add a teaspoon of salt and a dash of black pepper.
  • Step 2
    to the crock pot add the tomato juice, tomato paste, the canned mushrooms and canned kidney beans. Slice the two celery stalks thinly. In a small bowl nuke the sliced celery with a pat of butter for two minutes, then add to crock pot.
  • Step 3
    When ground beef is cooked and finely minced add it to crock pot. Place a small amount of water in fry pan and scrape pan clean and add to crock pot. Most of pan drippings is juice and not fat so I add all drippings to the crock pot. Add the small jar of chili powder, and stir all well.
  • Step 4
    Cook on high until bubbly, then set crock pot to low or keep warm, for another two or three hours. Stir occasionally. Serve with crackers or bread. As I noted this chili is sparse in kidney beans, sliced mushrooms and sliced celery, but still a very tasty bowl of chili. hope you enjoy.
  • Step 5
    Duey's offers their chili year round, and are also noted for their Friday Nite Whole Fried Cat Fish Dinners, where they consistently pack in the crowds.
  • Step 6
    Note: All of the canned products including the chili powder were the "Our Family" brand available at the local grocers. Use what brands you find available.
