Best chili in the Tri-State Area

[Gfab1]

Making some chili right now, with cubed skirt steak, ground beef, minced onions & garlic, crushed tomatoes, red beans, pinto beans, green chiles, and guajillo chili powder. I also add some more spices like cumin, coriander, black pepper, and a dash of hot sauce. It will be nice to warm up with on this cold, blustery day.

I love this thread. I've never had chili in a restaurant that came close to what I make at home, and it's so simple -

tons of diced spanish onion, crushed garlic, a diced bell pepper (any color but green!), a little minced chipotle pepper and the adobo sauce, ground beef, salt, oregano, chili powder, a tiny touch of cinnamon and tons of cumin, double strength beef broth, and crushed tomatoes. Add a can or two of black or kidney beans, drained and rinsed, at the end. We grew up eating it over rice, but I like it by itself (not a big rice fan) with tortilla chips, topped with shredded sharp cheddar and sour cream.

Agree with above,but dont drain the black bean water,and add red cooking wine.

Of course I have had arguments with Texans who will SHooT YOU if you claim a Chili can have beans in it. <I don't like it will all meat. It's weird, and probably unhealthy.>
