March 10, 20241 yr Damn 11 years ago? I probably haven’t been there in 20 years but 10 year old me loved watching games there way back when. It was a legit NFL bar well before others.
September 8, 20241 yr High in the 60’s today. Vikes at noon. It’s soup season in the upper Midwest.Sautéed onions, garlic, shallots, serranos, poblanos, Hatches, and habaneros. Browned a pound of ground venison and a pound of ground pork. Dumped a can of beer, and quart jar of home grown tomato puree that’s simmered with a shit load of chili powder and cumin. Dutch oven will be sitting on my pellet grill at the lowest possible setting until half time.

September 11, 20241 yr Getting ready for soup season so I made a bunch of wontons after work last night

October 28, 20241 yr Author Going in this thread because my wife likes beans in her chili, so that’s how I make it. Hoping this brings some fall weather with it…
October 29, 20241 yr Not much of a photo, but a damned fine tortilla soup. Yesterday I riffed on chicken parmesan by baking boneless skinless chicken thighs topped with homemade red salsa and grated asadero and cotija cheeses. I also made rajas con queso (onions, roasted & peeled poblanos, Mexican crema and asadero cheese). Two kids failed to show up, so I had 4 thighs left along with a few poblanos. I took some homemade stock from last week, added the diced chicken and poblanos, some yellow onion, roma tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, the usual seasonings, and topped with tortilla strips, avocado, cheese and crema. Tasty. Edited October 29, 20241 yr by jimmyjazz

Can you move her to pintos, the proper Texas bean?
October 29, 20241 yr Personally, I'd just serve the beans on the side. Historical records tell us that's what the Chili Queens of San Antonio did.

October 29, 20241 yr Author I’m a little ashamed for throwing my wife under the bus. Aside from Wolf brand chili as a kid at summer camp, all the other chili I grew up eating had beans in it too. I guess I like beans in my chili 🤷🏻♂️ 8 hours ago, Texzilla58 said: The no beans hill is a tough one to defend these days. But does she insist on kidney beans? Satan’s bean.

I love a pot of pintos next to a pot of chili. Chili should not be cooked with beans, but I like to sometimes eat it with beans, or Mexican rice, or saltines, or tortilla chips. the rice and chili is like the last bites of you enchilada plate. In college in Memphis most joints had a $1 plate for poor students. The faux Tex Mex joint I went to all the time had a bowl of rice with a ladle of the ench gravy and cheese, plus iced tea and chips and hot sauce AND queso for $1.
October 31, 20241 yr You can also make what you like to eat and disregard the iron clad rules and definitions arbitrarily inferred by history. My wife's like y'all when it comes to strictly following recipes and history. Her reaction when I suggest tweaks to some steadfast historic recipe: Edited October 31, 20241 yr by Al_4_ISU

Several of us were just discussing how the "dad taco" is one of the great meals of all time. At the end of the tex-mex meal, you have the leftover cheese and chili gravy, maybe some rice and beans, on your plate. And maybe one of the kids has some taco meat left on their plate. And a spoonful of guac. And maybe some pico. Scrap all that together, put it all on a tortilla, and it's the dad taco. And it's fucking fantastic.

Hey, I'm a Texas Red fanatic and even I don't get bent over someone putting beans in their chili. It's your fucking food, cook what you want. I was just proposing a compromise (rooted in Texas history) between two disparate schools of thought.
October 31, 20241 yr I have no issues eating beans in chili, it just isn't Texas chili. That doesn't mean it doesn't taste good.

I love debates about food and what the rules of whatever are. Except for when it's happening in my house and I lose.

I don't think most people who put beans in chili are claiming it's Texas chili. I certainly never have. The two things I think most people who have an opinion the subject know is that Texas chili has no beans and Cincinnati chili has cinnamon and gets served over cold spaghetti.
November 8, 20241 yr Maybe I missed it, and it’s probably implied, but is everyone just doing low n slow or do some of you set n forget? Some of the different concoctions look good but I don’t know what to think. *stupid question amnesty*

If so, im not a fan of those as I can never get the liquid ratios right and everything ends up too liquidy/it doesn’t tighten up right.

November 10, 20241 yr Was there not an adult around to help you with the bottom cabinet that's been child-proofed?
November 18, 20241 yr My son made this today. It’s “over the top smoker chili”. I put it here as he’s in Oklahoma, married to an Oklahoman from the panhandle, who has a midwestern palate and insists on beans in chili. So I expect it has beans in this. the meat is venison, ground 80/20 beef, and chorizo. This was a test pot as he’s planning on making tweaks to this for Thanksgiving weekend. he didn’t send a pic of the finished product
November 22, 20241 yr Popular Post Made some potato soup for the coldest day this fall/winter. It hit the spot.
