As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
The only chili we had growing up was some government shit that had cords from beef cattle in it, some kind of soupy brown water and lots of beans.
It took me awhile on the internet to actually find a chili recipe.......or to be a purist, chili is seasoned beef and on top of that you put the pinto beans. It is not supposed to be what we now think of a chili.
I think I put together a few recipes, one out of Texas in fact and TL tells me every time we have chili that each time it is the best TL has ever had.
This version was a splurge in a large can of San Marzano tomatoes. These don't act like the ones I have grown in these are a bit sour and acidic. They really kick this chili.
There is not that much to it. 4 303 cans of beans, two pinto and two red kidney. Cumin, oregano, basil, garlic, onion, sugar, salt, pepper, Jalapeno, bell pepper, small can of chilis, large can of Hunts tomatoe sauce and the big can of San Marzanos.
My sister makes a cheap ass version with tomatoe juice and quality pretty much tells in chili. As you can see by the goop above, this makes a thick base as there are many worst things in life, and one of the worst is watery chili.
I used to make cornbread with this. Lyndon Johnson always had onions, cheese and sour cream on top. I do the cheese and sour cream. We had Italian blend and it was pretty good. Most people do cheddar I think.
I don't measure allot of stuff. The spices just go into the palm of my hand and into the pot.
The rest is between me and Jesus.
