I posted this in the Lounge as well, but I need a good Chili recipe, something with some kick, but not too much as I need my little kids to eat it too.. Thanks!

I really don't use a recipe per se - I cook chili by taste, and I do experiment a bit. My basic recipe is:
At least 3# Beef or venison (I prefer steak or roast cut into cubes, but hamburger will work)
2 cans Rotel tomatoes - how hot is up to you
1 can of stewed tomatoes - a little sugar adds a lot of flavor
beer and/or wine... I've found that wild game always turns out better when you add alcohol to the dish.
2-3 cans red, black, or a combo of beans - chili beans are good to add, especially if they are already seasoned
garlic
onion
Tony Chachere's seasoning
yellow mustard and/or a good mustard based BBQ sauce
Worcestershire sauce
Chili powder
salt and pepper
serrano, chile or jalapeno peppers
and anything else that you think will add to the flavor
Optional
Horseradish
Potatoes
I want to try pickled jalapenos for a different flavor
smoke
chocolate - not sweet, but unsweetened cocoa
Sorry I can't help more, but I am prone to tweaking the recipe, so I can't be a whole lot more specific. Quantities of each ingredient are based on the amount you want to cook.The recipe in the lounge is a good start - don't be afraid to experiment.
that sounds great...can I just come over and have some of yours? Ha. thanks

"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
Expand your search past 30 days. there was a pretty good chili thread on hear last winter.
