Any Home Bakers Here?

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**

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

We use dried pinto beans for our chili. A few times we've used the black beans but always come back to the pinto.

Chili and cinnamon rolls were a cafeteria special when I was in junior high school

This is the way DH makes our chili:

1/2 tsp granulated garlic
2 tsp Mexican seasoning
1 Tab cilantro
1/4 Cup chili powder
1 lb. ground beef
diced bell peppers
1 tsp smoked salt
large can of crushed tomatoes
Pinto beans

He browns the ground beef with the seasonings. Stirs in the diced bell peppers and cooks just until slightly tender. Puts it all in a crock pot along with the can of crushed tomatoes. Adds the hydrated beans. Slow cooks it all day. We usually serve it with shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Sometimes we'll have a ladle of it over cooked rice.

Sounds tasty, bet the slow cooker lets the flavor get into the beans like @ronott1 's recipe does.

Never heard of the "mexican seasoning" - but will research.

Thanks for the recipe.

* My brother in law will only eat chili over rice because that is the way his mother made it - he grew up in South FL*

My husband grew up in south Florida and didn't eat chili until he married me.
But his parents were New Yorkers... It explains a lot. I have to cut him a lot of slack.

The Mexican seasoning we use comes from a spice company called Spices Inc. That's where we get almost all of ours (we used them when we had our store too). Wonderful company, here's a link if you'd like to check them out:

The one we like in our chili is Manzanillo seasoning and has ancho, pasilla, black pepper, garlic, chipotle, onion, coriander, Mexican oregano and cumin in it.

For chili beans I use either red beans or pinto beans. I am cooking pinto beans this week.

You can make it with black beans, kidney beans and etc. Watch the cooking time because it is different for each bean and can be different with the same beans.
