Dude, that sounds like hands-down awesome ******* chili.

If you don't mind, I'll print that out and see if my Hungarian mail-order bride can't cook that up one of these days. Yowsa!

JMM's Steeler Chili (this is how I make it)

Two cans Campbells Tomato Soup
One can Campbells Beef Consomme
One 12 oz can of tomato paste
3 lbs lean ground beef
Four green (red, or yellow) bell peppers
1/2 white onion
4 jalapeno peppers minced (seeds and all)
2 serrano chilis minced (seeds optional)
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
3 regular size cans Bush's chili beans

Start making this on Saturday afternoon if you plan to eat Sunday at gametime. You need a good size crockpot for this.

Chop the jalapenos and serranos. Mix the spices, chilis, tomato soup, tomato paste and consomme. Chop the bell peppers and onions into 1/2 squares and add to chili.

Break the ground beef into small pieces and add to chili. Mix it all up until you have what looks like a big pasty, chunky mass of goo. Turn the crockpot on low. Cook for 4 to 6 hours stirring occasionally. Try not to let it boil. Turn off the crockpot and let it sit overnight.

Couple of hours before gametime, strain the beans and add to chili. Turn the crockpot on low again to reheat. By halftime you've got monster, yummy chili. Best I've ever had much less made. Serve with sour cream, grated cheese, and whatever else you like with chili.

I like my chili greasy as hell, which is why I cook the ground beef in the chili. If you don't, brown the ground beef and drain the fat, prior to adding it.

Looks like it has been modified a little over time...I use the small can of tomato paste, 2 lbs of ground chuck and always drained it off. 2 cans of chili beans rather than 3. 1 tbls chili powder, 1 tbls sugar

I didn't do serranos. These days I use 2 jalapenos and a habanero (Seeded)

I like the description , big pasty chunky mass of goo. I can see that. :)

I don't think I have the recipe on my computer any longer. Just make it from memory now. If anyone can find a copy, please forward it to Hoot (and me)

Been making the stuff since college days in the early 90s. Slow cooked in a crock pot and makes the whole house smell like,,,victory. :).

I understand that. I make mine out of my head as well - most things I do that way anymore. For chili, I grind my own meat and make my own chili powder. I am pretty hardcore from scratch guy on most things. I enjoy the process, the alone time, and it just tastes better. Slow cooking is key as well...reducing the liquid intensifies the flavor and helps thicken it.

I guess I should read all the posts...lol. Thanks man.
Cumin and allspice should give it a really nice flavor.
If I may be so bold, try slow cooking the onions first. By that I mean on really low heat and let them go for an hour...brings out a lot of flavor and tones down any strong onions. I am actually making an onion soup this week that I slow cook the onions for 5 or 6 hours first. Then it is just broth on top...mind blowing.

Yeah I am not a big bean fan in chili. I only use one bc of the fam, or I wouldn’t use any at all.

You grind your own meat?

yea, sometimes the wife has a headache so I have no choice.



seriously - yes. I find a decent piece of beef and grind it myself. Helps me get the fat/meat ratio I want. I will also sometimes mix with pork.

I love beans in my chili. I prefer black beans but my wife likes a mix so I will use a mix of black, pinto, and kidney beans. I don't use canned though...I buy dry and soak them overnight. Saves money and a better texture due to salt in canned beans (they get squishy)
 
Let’s go boys!!! Gotta get this win!!
