[RebelSS]

Washed down with that glass of Sumac tea, no doubt.....

[RebelSS]

Looked like today was going to be cold and rainy, so..... I soaked the beans overnite, threw in the 3 smoked pigs hocks and hambone, along with 2 bay leaves and a 7 whole peppercorns...

 

Simmered for 2 hours...

 

 

Pulled the hocks and bone, and added the onions, celery, ham chunks and trimmimgs, carrots,  and some drops of hickory smoke, simmered all for another hour until nice and thick...guess what's for dinner? Smoky bean 'n ham soup!

When ya do, lemme know. I'll PM ya my Hellfire Chili recipe, since there doesn't seem to be much interest for soups/chili recipes on here.  REAL southwestern Chili....no hamburger or KIDNEY beans type of dump. That's just "goulash soup."

Classically made with hunks of meat rather than ground meat. 

[eyeguy 54]

I have been using a can of black beans and a can of kidney beans lately.  we love the stuff.  threw a pint of my frozen corn in a batch this week.  mmmmmmmmm!

[RebelSS]

And the Minnysoda "Chili thing" rears it's ugly head.   Actually, REAL chili never had beans in it, and was made from chunks of dried beef, fat, and chile peppers, and possibly dried tomatillas. One of the International Chili Associations actually bans beans in chili, and no marinated meat is allowed......strip beef only.  God forbid if they ever saw hamburger being used. I won't even mention kidney beans. That's why I won't post my chili recipe. Too many years entering chili cook-offs, fortunate enough to  learn from some of the best, and working at my uncles southwestern/Mexican restaurant all thru high-school for money. I figure whatever works for ya is great, so cook away, but I kindly decline to get into a dissertation about chili. I just enjoy mine.

Rebel-  when I was reading your post I thought it was a quote from Cliff Claven from Cheers!!!

I use hambuger and some type of stew meat in my chili.  Never have used a specific recipe.  I like it sweet and tangy.  Usually I have vinegar in it with brown sugar of some ratio that tastes right to me.

Well I know a sunfish snob and now I know a chili snob.     Minnysoda has lotsa good stuff.  Cant count how many times I have made chili but very rarely is it the same as the last batch, but always really good. But then again, I love tiger meat. lol 

[Boar]

soooo whats your chilli recipe??

[delcecchi]

Tiger meat and Siracha?
