1. Alton Brown Pressure Cooker Chili

I didn't have a pressure cooker so I put it in the oven for a couple of hours. This was delicious.

3. I use that one, too.

I use beef only though. The time in the oven really lets the connective tissue in the meat soften up.

Alternatively, I suppose you could use a crock pot or other slow cooker instead of the oven.

2. well we make ours with:

a pound of hot Italian sausage
pound of burger.
diced chili tomatoes
a big diced onion
and the picante V8.
plus some green pepper if you have one.

5. Wick Fowler's 2 Alarm Chili mix.

Wick won the very first ever Terlingua Texas Chili Cookoff, The Great Chili Confrontation.

His packet of spices & stuff with your choice of meat can't be beat.
(Did I say that?)
:rofl:

6. Wick Fowler's seasoning pack led me to my own version using

spices from the spice shelf. My personal touch is using fresh jalapeno, serrano and poblano chiles in the mix and cooking down the meat with the spices, then adding water and cooking it down again before adding the tomatoes, fresh chiles etc. Add beans toward the end and finish off with some fresh cilantro. I also use a lot of fresh garlic.

I prefer black beans but to each his/her own.

7. A Texan puts BEANS in?

I always catch crap from my Texas in-laws for that.

8. not a native Texan. I am from Kentucky, where it is OK to put beans in the chili

it makes it go farther and lowers the WW points per serving too.

9. Put shredded cheddar cheese on top. That is what I do. Makes it even yummier.
