Your bean to meat ratio is super fijucked. It's not even just the amount of beans, but the lack of meat. I'd have at least an extra pound of ground beef in there. I guess it also kind of depends on the size of the pot you're cooking in. I've got a pretty large crock pot. I like the addition of the sirloin though. I'm not sure why I've never used anything but ground beef. Aside from that, that's a pretty good recipe. I'll probably try it out, sans coffee and beer, and with a couple habaneros tossed in there to dissuade my friends from eating it when they come over.

Since my the spices I keep on hand are pretty threadbare, my chili "recipe" is usually whatever I have lying around. I haven't made a batch in over a year though, so I definitely need to get back on the horse. Once I eventually do it, I'll try and remember what I stuck in it and bring it here.

it would cost me like $100+ to make chili in Korea... Beef is muey expensive as are western style spices (luckily I stole about $150 worth my second month here)

Yea, there are waaaaay to many beans in that. Iwas going to add another 1lb of meat and take out 2 cans of beans when I make it this weekend.

Acend, you could use venison or even duck to make a kick ass chili. As long as they have some sort of hot pepper you will be good to go.

PRO TIP:

If you roast or pan seer some hot peppers and chop them up you get the same effect (I think better) as chili powder.

I've never tried chicken chili, but ground turkey chili is good. I've never tried ground chicken, but it doesn't seem appetizing.

I thought Koreans ate a bunch of duck. I guess your only option is to drive up to North Korea and buy some orphans.

No they do eat a bunch of duck, but not nearly as much pork, chicken, and beef. They eat a ton of beef, but theyimport it all and so its expensive...

Is there any reason why they can't raise cattle in South Korea? It was my understanding that all a cow needs is grass and water... and later on some steak sauce.

they need land also, and there isn't a lot of that, and much of what land there is is very mountainous. Also, not so great for cattle.

Barebones, no fresh produce, but I've started making chili from scratch lately, here's the latest product.

Started out with 2.7 pounds of lean ground beef:



And a mountain of ingredients:



(diced tomatoes, pinto beans, kidney beans, corns, jalapenos, and green chilis)

Added some assorted spices. Salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder and about 3/4 cup of Tabasco sauce.

And I've just begun the simmer process:



Gonna let it stew for a couple hours. I ended up not using a can of tomatoes, a can of beans and a can of corn, but I might add them in anyways if it looks too meaty after it simmers down a bit. Last batch I made was a little too thick, so I'm gonna watch my water level closer this time.

I really wanted to add some beef chunks as well, but I really suck at grocery shopping for real people food, so I wasn't sure what cut to get. I'll have to research and find out for next time cause I had a cup from a batch a co worker made and it was fanfuckingtastic! I cheated and stole a big bite from it before I covered it for simmering and it's already pretty badass. I'm prolly gonna end up adding more Tabasco sauce though.

Oh shit, I almost forgot, I broke my f---ing spatula while browning the meat!!! I'm kinda pissed. It looks like this now:

add a few beef bullion cubes and a little brown sugar to offset the tartness from the tomatoes.

1/2 teaspoon of cayenne as well.

if you are going to add real beef make sure you cook the shit out of it so it is tender.

Its about time the chili thread came back up. I think I'm gonna make a giant tub of chili this paycheck and just eat it for a month.
