I think chili in the winter is a lot like sex. It only comes two ways. Good and better. I kept talking to myself. "Dang, this is good." I got my venison from FBCHUNTER. I made a mistake. He brought five packages, and I only kept 3. I browned the meat just enough to separate it and them simmered it for 6 hours. The venison broke up enough to help thicken the chili.

I'm not knocking the hamburger grind. It's great for a 2 hour pot of chili. Just remember while using hamburger meat, that cumin and oregano separated chili from spaghetti sauce.

Also, try a can of refried beans in there after it's done. (No arguments please) I love balsamic vinegar in most of my stewed dishes. I put that in there at the end. Try a few drops in your bowl if you're skeptical.

Also, we all seemed to agree in this area. Did we finally get through a chili thread without arguments

1/4-1/2 stick of real butter melt in a pot

add to that 1 large onion diced and one large bell pepper diced

Thicken with ground up corn tortillas, add refried or ranch beans. Best when cooled and reheated

Thanks everyone

Get some Morton's chili blend and go from there.

I use hamburger (beef) as well as deer chili meat. another trick I have found is to throw a fresh tomato with the ends cut off into the crockpot with it. I will pull it out before serving but it adds freshness that canned tomato products lack.

Is the beer for the chili or drinking in anticipation!?

Anyone who knows beans about chili............

2 pounds chopped meat (venison or beef)
4 tablespoons chili powder
1 med-large onion diced
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 large can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon paprika
1 can of red kidney beans...(sorry I'm from NY, lol)

Beans are okay, but they should be pinto beans, not kidney beans.

knows there aint no beans in chili!!!!

Only yankees and hippies put beans in chili

I got this book from signing up for something at a fair once. It was one of the best things I ever did. I just removed the beans.

That is for the chili. I don;t know why but I got to using beer in place of water when cooking chili. I'd like to think it adds to the flavor but I haven't done a 1 to 1 comparison.

Six pack of beer with half to the pot and half to the cook works for me.
