I love that!

The different types of chili in a dish will layer the flavors--right up to the big burn.

Did you just mix those in the batter?  Or do waffles and serve with bacon and cc topping?

I mixed them into the batter! Next time I want to put green onions in too.... Mmmmmm!

Phil, the posts you sent the other night of your "on the air live" experience with this pepper were hilarious. Those things should come with a warning label on them, lol.

Toss the pre packaged mix!

It is evil....

Start like you would all good things--brown an onion along with a diced jalapino and add a tbl. of tomato paste and thn a couple of pressed or diced cloves of garlic; cook for a minute. Toss in your pound of soaked beans and then add 6 cups of water and some salt. Bring to a boil and let simmer until tender--something like two hours.

When beans are about done, brown the ground beef. Add some salt--like half a teaspoon. A similar amount of black pepper and a teaspoon of cumin.

Add to the cooked beans and then taste for spice. If it is not hot enough, add some Grandmas chili powder--not a chili mix packet. For the really adventurous, add 1\4 to 1\2 tsp of cayenne powder.

Variations:

Use a habanaro pepper instead of the jalapino
Add half a bell pepper to the onions

Top with grated cheddar cheese and bake some corn bread!

Thanks for your recipe - this sounds great. I can see why ours is blah.


I especially like the idea of cooking the beans with the onion, pepper, etc BEFORE adding the browned beef - would never have thought of that. And not a big fan of garlic if you can taste it after you finish the meal but a couple of cloves should add some zest.

What kind of dried beans do you use?

Thanks again, will definitely try this soon. Just a few additions for my preference is canned tomatoes and tomato sauce - I like it really tomatoey with a dash of tobacco sauce.

** I did add the chili powder to the left over and it was a lot better, but was still missing something and likely the garlic and cumin will be the answer**

I agree brown an onion and then cook your meat. My family always adds some vinegar and brown sugar to our chilli. Vinegar really brings out the taste. Just about 2 or 3 TBSP per pound of beef.
And here we like to eat our chilli with cinnamon rolls.

Interesting, would never have thought about cinnamon rolls and sweet chili

DH & I used to sell Ghost Peppers in our store and had some of the funniest customers for those. The ones that used to worry me were the customers that would buy them for their bosses, as a surprise. Hope there was no loss of employment due to our peppers! Then there was the little 8-year old girl that could eat them like candy. Wow!

I don't think I could even hold one, much less taste it.

Wonder if the girls tongue had scars?
