Chili With a Twist
By: FLUFFSTER
Mar 13, 2008
I grew up eating the chili in my father's restaurants.I wish I had a dollar for every batch of chili I watched my father make! When I got a little older, I can remember helping him make it. I love chili and I love this one. I do hope you'll try it. This recipe gives you the choice of ground meats or cubed meats. I for one love ground meat chili. I would tell every one who wants to make this to try the cubed meat type also, as it is so delish!! You can control the heat by the use of the red pepper flakes. This recipe calls for a stick of butter. That's to cook the cubed meat in. For the ground meat type, just drain the burger and just toss the stick of butter in, and continue on with the recipe. It's not a recipe for those who have health issues such as heart disease.The butter makes the chili, believe me. The beans are up to you as to which type and how many you want. I use a combination. Honestly, this whole recipe consists of brown the meat, and just dump the other ingredients in! That's it! Times will vary between the cubed meats and the ground meats.You can put the bean mixture in the pan that you cooked the ground meats in . It's up to you to put the types of beans that you like in this.Times will vary as well as quantity. At least try this chili one time with the cubed meat. This was how the recipe was supposed to be done.I adapted this recipe to be made with the ground beef and pork.You'll love it! A good batch of chili becomes a personal thing. This recipe was entered in a chili cook-off here in Las Vegas. It won first prize!

Excellent chili Fluffster and worthy of more than 5 stars!, I did a few amount adjusments to suit out tastes, I used fresh garlic in place of the garlic powder, increased the chili flakes to 1 tablespoon and also added in 2 jalapeno peppers we like extreme spice! the salsa and beer really took this to another level, I used cubed sirloin for this and also made a day ahead and refrigerated which only increased the flavor more, thank for sharing a great chili recipe that I will make again soon!
