First batch of the new season. Budget Chili, baby! About $12 worth of supplies from Aldi's, some creative seasoning, and you've got one killer turkey chili!

Bring a good beer and come on by, unless you can stomach the PBR we're drinking. Then you can show up empty-handed! As for the recipie, I don't have one. I've considered getting a personal recorder and just recording what I put in things, to put on paper later. It's a mix of 2 smaller cans of Chili beans, 1 or 2 small cans of Kidneys, 1 large can of Pintos, I think there were 3 cans of diced maters with green chilies, 2 bell peppers, 3 fresh jalapenos, 1 med. onion. For the meat, I used 2 lbs of Aldi's ground turkey, cooked with fresh ground sea salt, pepper, chili powder, sage, cumin, and a dash of paprika. The bean/mater mix gets coarse sea salt, about a tbl spoon, fresh ground pepper, tons of chili powder, yellow curry powder, ground mustard, crushed red pepper, oregano, and about half a beer, if it needs thinning. There may be some other stuff I'm missing, just grab what's in the cabinet and experiment. Let 'er simmer for a couple of hours and you're golden!

It wasn't too spicy, but just enough. The wife made cornbread for the first time, using the old family recipie. :huggy: None of that sugary crap, real cornbread. Mmmmmmm! That's what I call a meal. First chili and first fire of the season. It's going to be a good winter! :beer:
 
*nothing* compliments chili better than real cornbread. Excellent for scooping out the last morseld from your bowl.
 
I make chili mild enuff for women and children. I have made it so hot the dog wouldn't even eat it!

But, if i want heat, I keep a bottle of "Big Ed's" extremely hot hotsauce from Pulliams Hotdogs close by.

btw- Deer meat is for chili...turkey is for Thanksgiving!
