It's Chilly today, so I'm making it!...

I make chili when, i do I make it with beans, I know that's not the origianl way beut we like the beans. I then make corn bread to go with it and serve it with sour cream and cheese, maybe some green onion if I have them

i love chili. especially cincinnati chili ! my mother will eat it all year long. my preference is fall and winter though. i make a very simple cili soup: 2 large jars of salsa with rinsed black beans. i experiment with chili by changing the beans or mixing them: pinto, kidney, red. i found jarred salsa has most of the ingredients i use in chili, so i use that. salsa has peppers, onions and tomatoes already cooked. i add meat, more onions and a can of tomato soup or tomato sauce. this winter i am going to make white chili. chicken broth, white beans, spinach and garlic.

I am afraid I am not much help to you as I buy my chilli sauce alrady made up in a jar. I usualy cook the pasta and then fry some mince beef and oinions. I then put the mince and onions on a plate, put the pasta aroung it and then pour the chilli sauce over it. Well, my husband likes it...I don't!

I cook my pinto beans in a pressure cooker. Instead of soaking them overnight, I cook them on pressure for ten minutes and then let them sit while I'm doing something else. Then I add a handful of purslane greens, pureed cilantro cubes (which I always have on hand in the freezer, and a chunk of meat and cook them for another 40 minutes on high. When the pressure comes down the second time, I add a can of refried beans and a can of no-beans hot chili. Both of these are far too salty to consume by themselves, but provide just the right amount of seasoning for a who potful of beans. The already made refried beans save me the trouble of making a gravy and thicken up the chili, while the meat sauce seasons it. I let hubby add however much cumin seed, cayenne or whatever he feels like to it at this point. Then I stir in some already cooked and drained hamburger or sausage and cooked peeled tomatillos that I would have prepared the day before. We both like it hot, but hubby likes his REALLY hot, so he just pours more hot sauce over it at the table. Where do I get the purslane? I grow my own, as there isn't any market within 100 miles that sells it.

that sounds good when I fry the ground hamburger i mix ground sausage with it an instaed of stewed tomatoes I use grape tomatotes an my hubby likes a side of white rice along side his chili now heres the weird part he adds butter an sugar to the rice I never had it before i married him but now hey its good do you like your chili hot like I do or meduem like my hubby an daughter my youngest daughter is like me she likes it spicy she ask why waste your time makeing chili if you make it wimpy

Had to think twice before I fot it :D I hope you enjoy your chilly.. Have a nice day..

There's nothing better than a great Chili and a cool Autumn day! I make a very powerful Chili that should be made outdoors and preferrably over a wood fire, in one of those old cast iron cauldrons!

I love chile and make it several different ways. In fact, I just made chili last week. I also make it in the summer. Not very often though. I usually use ground beef, 2 large onions, 2 bell peppers, 2 cans of dark red kidney beans, 2 cans of diced tomatoes, and a chili seasoning packet. Then I just add different spices to taste. Chili is great for sunday football games and I use the left overs for chili - cheese dogs or chili-cheese fries. I sometimes add macaroni to my chili too.

I make my chili with ground beef, onion, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, season salt, oregano, onion powder, and garlic powder. I like to top mine with sour cream and cheddar cheese.

I love chili, koala! ANd all of the recipes here are good ones, it's just sort of a mish-mash kind of thing, whatever tickles your taste buds. I put coffee in my chili. Yup, coffee. It makes it deeper and richer and enhances the whole thing. And jalapenos. Gotta have jalapenos in chili for sure. I like to eat it with tortilla chips on the side. Yummy. Enjoy your chili, sugar, however you make it!!!

I'm sure I'm like most and make it more frequently in the cooler time of the year, but I do make it year round, just not as often when it is hot out. I make mine using a couple cans of kidney beans, hamburger, tomato sauce or paste, onion, garlic, salt,pepper, onion/garlic salt, chili powder, hot sauce.

Well first let me say I do not like Chili. My mother is the one who makes the Chili and I have no idea how she makes it. She usually does cook in the winter months, I think she has made it in the summer months but that is rare. She cooks more in the winter months and we try to do quick and cooler foods in the summer. I was a little chilly this morning taking my sister to the bus stop so I wore a small jacket, I doubt it is chilly out there know but it will be cold before we know it. I am kind of excited, I kind of like it when it is cold. I like the snow, I definitely would rather it be cold than hot! I hope you like your chilly chili!

My wife just made chili on Monday. In the summer we will have it but usually with hot dogs. A lot of the time I will eat chili with hot dogs. Or I will eat it with some shredded cheese on the top of it. My wife makes it a lot during football season because a lot of times my friends will come over to watch a football game and that way we always have something to feed everyone we keep it in the crock pot all day, so if somebody wants some they can just help their selves.

Yes, I love chili, especially on hot dogs, Yum, Yummy!!

I love eating chili when it's cold outside. I don't usually make it though. I will go over to my mom's house and eat some when she makes it. I have made it a few times but not much. I don't usually eat it during the summer months though. Last year my mom's neighborhood had a block party for Halloween and one of the lady's made some chili and it was wonderful. They are having another block party this year for halloween and I hope she makes that good chili again. Do you have a recipe that you go by to make your chili?

we often make chili in the colder months, while i am not a fan of this for a meal, my hubby and 1 daughter love it. my other daughter and i will have pasta. it has still been warm enough here to not have it yet (high of 74 here today!)

I don't eat chili, so obviously I wouldn't make it. Even the roomie doesn't make it because its just as easy for her to open a can as to make a big ol' pot for herself. she does make beef stew and soup because I like and eat those. Something about spicy food doesn't agree with me - ya think its because I'm allergic to peppers?

Last year I actually changed the way I made it and instead of using tomato paste I started using tomato soup. I use a package of chili seasonings and follow the directions but add the tomato soup. I serve it with breadsticks...cheddar cheese on top and chopped onions.....yummy!

Hi Koalatbs, Oh, I haven't made chilly for a long thime now and I serve it up with rice. Tamara

I am in Geelong in Victoria and it has been a beautiful day here today the weather was so nice ... 24 degrees just nice to wear a t-shirt.
