This is the one I use. It's good chili and not to spicy or hot and most people should like it. You can add to it if you like it hotter, which my husband does, but the basic recipe is a good one.

Ingredients:

2 pounds ground beef

1 29-ounce can of tomato sauce

1 29-ounce can of kidney beans (drained) or 1/2 pound dry kidney beans

1 29-ounce can of pinto beans (drained) or 1/2 pound dry pinto beans

1 diced green pepper

1 diced medium onion

1/2 cup diced mild green chiles

1 to 6 diced jalapeno peppers (if heat desired)

1 29-ounce can diced tomatoes or 3 chopped medium tomatoes

2 teaspoons cumin powder

3 tablespoons chili powder

1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 teaspoons salt

Preparation:

1. To use dried beans rather than canned: Bring a large saucepan of water to boil. Add the beans and simmer for 30 minutes. Turn off heat, cover and soak for 90 minutes. Drain and add to crockpot.

2. Brown the beef in skillet or microwave and drain off the fat.

3. Combine all of the ingredients in a crockpot.

4. Cook on low for 3-10 hours. If using dried beans, cook on low for 10 hours or until the beans are soft.

I use the 29 oz can or Rotel tomatos, think it's better.

I just went to Wendy's and had a large Chili, no onions.....my favorite recipe---

I do actually have the official Wendy chili recipe on my other computer----you know, the broken one:(

[Holly]

I am going to try this one next time..... thanks!

[steeringwheel]

We also like Wendy's Chili, especially when you add their hot sauce. We make one similair, just not same beans, instead ranch style. Of course, I like all of Wendy's especially frosties. Wish we had one closer than 40 miles.

[Holly]

If I was asking what is your favorite chili, yes, but not when I am asking you for your "recipe"! lol! Hey, if I had only me or my husband and me, I would never cook! I will not have that luxury for quite a few years yet! (my youngest is 7). Soooooo, do you have a chili recipe you "cook" or prepare yourself?

[jeanigal2]

They all sound good, even the Wendy's chili. Here's my take on chili.

1 lb more or less ground chuck or ground turkey

1 large onion - chopped

1 green pepper - chopped

garlic powder to taste

salt & pepper to taste

2 cans red kidney beans 1 can of beans i chop up

1 46 oz can of V-8 juice I use about 3/4 of the juice

chili powder or 1 pkg of chili seasoning

2 oz of sharp cheddar cheese

If the chili need thickening i use instant mashed potato flakes

brown meat with onions and peppers, drain. Add all other ingredients

I serve my chili with Jalapeno cornbread - Yum!

[Holly]

I love cornbread! Although tonight, I served it with tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream... it was good! Oh and hot dogs for those who wanted chili dogs or my youngest, just the hot dog!

lol..

naw, I was a field mechanic and weldor, and bachelor, for far too many years....I have come to appreciate the culinary delicacies found in the 'Number 5, large, please'.....hahahaha....

My dear young bride, on the other hand, has some splendid recipes....I will check with her...

I have always been pressed for time--the 20 or 30 min to prep, the 30-45 min to cook, the 20-30 minutes to clean up, just dont add up to me when it only takes me about 5 minutes to eat......I will be glad when 'time' is no longer a factor...

Thanks for starting this thread...I am gonna grab some pointers from here and Leslies thread and maybe, someday, learn how to cook for anyone besides myself---

Not a lot of people know this, but a true chili has NO BEANS in it. And a sidenote, Nachos was NOT invented by mexicans, nor is it a mexican dish.

APPRECIATION for the recipes sisters! X x

I found this out when I moved to Texas. Really surprised me cause I thought beans was in chili, but in Texas they take their chili very seriously, and there is no beans in it.

You could say "no beans about it."

I did not know "real" chili has not beans.... I like it better with the beans! lol! I never did think nachos was mexican, most of the american/mexican foods we eat are not authentic mexican.

Here is my NACHOS recipe:

1 1/2 - 2 lbs. of ground beef,

taco seasoning, 11/2 - 2 pouches

1 can refried beans

1 can black beans (rinsed)

salsa

tortilla chips

(8-12 oz) cheddar or monterey jack or mexican cheese, shredded (I like 12 oz)

toppings of your choice

preheat oven to 375

brown meat, drain, add taco seasoning 1/2 C - 1 C water, 1 can refried beans,1 black beans, cook til flavors blend, over med. - high heat (abou 10 minutes). when meat and beans are blended together, add 1/2 C - 1C of salsa, cook another 2 minutes.

meanwhile, spread 1/2 bag of tortilla chips on baking sheet, leaving a well in the middle, sprinkle 1/2 bag of cheese, layer with rest of tortilla chips, and rest of cheese, mound meat in well of baking sheet. Pop in the oven til cheese is melted on chips, about 5 minutes.

I serve it on the baking sheet, right in the middle of the table. I have sour cream, quacomole and additional salsa as accompaniments. Everyone grabs a plate and a fork and digs in! Yummy!

you melt the choc then add really small pieces of chilli to the choc.

the choc it was meant to be a garnish. and i didn't say it was from me i looked at peoples faces

then they found out it was I it was the best night all loved the choc. promise.

to make harrisa you need lots of chilies olive oil cumin spice. corriander. mint . a little salt

corriander seeds. then whiz it up in a blender should be like a spreed consistency
