Heheheee. This is why you need to know who is judging and what the regional tastes are. I sent Mrs ~t~ green chile recipe to a friend in Pennsylvania to use in his church cook-off recommending he tone the peppers way down. He confessed they don't even call it green chili, but "pork chili", and some people were hinky just from the color.

I am a fan of this recipe from pigville porkers. Hopefully it doesn't launch the beans vs. no beans debate.

Definitely no added sugars to my Sunday Gravy however a proper balance of acid will bring the sweetness out in the tomatoes.

However a good blend of chili powders and cumin does IMO benefit from the richness of molasses or a bit of dark brown sugar, keep in mind the amount is minimal and must be adjusted appropriately for each batch of chili (definitely no white sugar)...

I saw a video posted on the last chili thread a couple weeks ago, where a guy used a Mexican round chocolate at the end of his recipe. I am going to try and find some of that for my next pot.

Since your now up close to yankee land, guess it's OK to add beans.

If it calls for water instead use coffee-tea-stock or beer
If in a no bean zone and you like beans add Frito Bean Dip (background Bean taste none visible)
If in a no Veggies zone-puréed Veggies will disappear
Want sweet accent but no sugar- smoke carrots and purée
Dump juice from can of Rotel and purée till smooth
I often baptize my chili with 2 Tequila Shots. One in Pot one in me (thanks cowgirl)

If this is a friendly competition you can do whatever you want to create.

IMHO there’s no one right way to cook chili-but there are a few wrong.

just look for a consistent bite (spoon full)
I normally use 1/2 ground sirloin 1/2 skirt steak for my meat and add cumin and chili powder every time I stir

I have really been into New Mexico Chile Powder lately. Using about 3 tablespoons per pound of meat. My favorite chilis have a mix of some ground meat and whole/cubed meat. I like ground sirloin and chuck plus a cubed pork tenderloin. And almost always add some corn masa to tighten it up and for flavor at the end.

And beans are totally cool. Chili always has been a fruit-based dish, and seeing as how beans are the musical fruit . . .

So, it begs the question:
With Beans? Or Without?

Ducks... Runs....

Ain't happening' Chief. My chili has been bean-free since '93.

Next you'll be trying to talk me into trying vegan chili...

Have had beanless chili and it's been very good.

I happen to like beans in chili and have never made it without them. I like the texture they add. Same with non-sauteed onions and peppers...they add a satisfying bit of crunch.

Also think it odd many insist on putting chili powder in chili. It's not necessary IMO. To me, it makes chili taste more like tacos.

GO BEANS!
