I'm generally a pretty good cook, and I've been asked to bring chili to a superbowl party. Chili is not something I usually make, so I need help!
Could I get your best recipies and tips for chili? Thank you!!!

I am following this thread and also adding: I am looking in particular for a recipe that can be made in a slow cooker, because I have to be out beforehand/

Controversial tip… no beans. 😆😆😆 Counterpoint: lots of beans. I prefer navy and black beans but a classic red kidney will work too If you want to go with a mix I’ve used Caroll Shelby’s mix and it’s pretty good. |

I always find it odd when a host requests someone to bring something they've never made before unless it is something like a veggie tray and dip. If I wanted chili at my party and didnt want to make it, Id have someone who routinely makes it be the one to bring it.
I use a Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen recipe. It is pretty easy and dh and ds like it. (I dislike chili, so I cant comment on what I think of it)

I will tell you my chili recipe, and then everyone feel free to laugh at me. One pound ground meat (beef, turkey, chicken, whatever) One can (or two if you like more tomatoes) diced tomatoes One can beans (I usually use kidney, but have used small white beans, pinto, and black beans) One packet of chili seasoning mix. Brown meat for a little bit, dump in the other three ingredients, cook for awhile just to be sure the meat is cooked. Done. I usually double it for dh and me so we can have leftovers and I can have it for lunches. Yep, gourmet all the way.  |

monklady123 Mine is very similar. My grown kids think it is the best and always request it. Even my friends request my chili. I have to laugh because it's so simple and not homemade at all. I make a crockpot full though. Ground 2 lbs ground beef with half an onion (onion is optional) Put in crockpot and add Large can of bushes chili beans Can of Dark red kidney beans (with juices) Can of Light red kidney beans if you want lots of beans Can of Rotel 2 packs chili seasoning mix (original) Salt and pepper Add some water depending on how thick or soupy you want it.

I should try Rotel one time just to change things up a bit.  |

To most things with a tomato base, I add a tiny pinch of sugar. It just takes the "bite" out, IMO.

Here's what I do:
Brown 1lb 90% ground beef
Add diced XXL onion or 2 medium onions and cook until translucent
Add a few tablespoons diced garlic and cook for a few minutes more
Add 2 lg cans tomato sauce, 1 lg can diced tomatoes, and 1 can chili beans
Add one or two chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (you can freeze the rest for later) or more to taste
Add cayenne, cumin, and smoked paprika to taste
Simmer for one hour

Great in the crockpot. Can sub chuck roast for ground beef, or even ground turkey. |

Haven't made a meaty chili in ages but in addition to the traditional ingredients I used large quantity of chopped roasted tri-tip in place of ground beef, lots of beans - favorites being red kidney and pintos, fresh jalapeno sauteed with lots of onion, Cholula hot sauce and sharp cheddar melted into it. Served with sour cream, avocado and green onion toppings. I like Penzeys medium heat chili powder.
No batch is ever exactly the same at my house!

Just looked up the Carroll Shelby mix as I've never heard of it. I was raised in a Ford family near Detroit, so everything I know about him is car related!

Very controversial- my favorite is vegan chili made with beans, quinoa, corn, tomatoes and more - it is sooo good. I top with sour cream, cheese and cilantro, so not really vegan in the end.

Would you mind pointing me to the recipe? We have one DH likes but is way too hot for me. I love a meat chili, but we are trying to incorporate more meatless meals. |

I think this is it - the corn and the blend of spices is really good - I love it: showmetheyummy.com/instant-pot-vegetarian-chili-recipe/ |
