2014 Superbowl Chili Cook Off, FTW!!! ~ Recipe included :)

I'm going to be in a Chili Cook Off for the Superbowl this year so won't be in the TD and Texas Style Chili is the game plan. Now I was born in Texas and raised up right by good Texan parents. That means I was raised on Great Texas BBQ and on Chili. There're some that say a Texan who's out of the state has to eat a bowl of chili or some good Pit BBQ once a week just to maintain sanity till they return and I can go with that. Texas Chili isn't just about heat, don't get me wrong there is some heat but more so Texas Chili is about Sabor, flavor and Mis Amigos, the friends who are going to be enjoying a bowl of red with me. Mostly though Texas Chili is about the Meat!
 
This recipe is based on the winning recipes from the last 10 years at the Terlingua Chili Cook Off and is dedicated to the number 3. It has 3 kinds of Meat, 3 kinds of Pepper and will be made using 3 Dumps. I'm calling it
 
Tres Fuegos de Inferno

Hope some others post pics-

Use a Microplane Grater and the Carrots just melt into the chili

Now to bring it back to a simmer for 1 1/2 hours. I'm hungry now from just smelling this. Good thing we're having Tacos for lunch ;)
 
See y'all soon
 
Have you ever tried putting refried beans into the chilli too add some consistency?  That is one of my tricks..  "Ofc Beans or No beans?": I say Beans XD
 
Also... why do you leave the calyx and stem on?... those are bitter and a little toxic i might add ;)
 
Those were left on so the peppers would be easy to get when it was time to squeeze them out.

So, the peppers got mushed through a sieve

More to come and dang does it smell good in herr
 
Jay there's just something satisfying about saying you've added another dump to your chili. So, with that thought in mind, I just added te third dump to the chili.

Giving it another 30 minute simmer, a little taste test then off to get happy in the fridge till it's time to heat up for te cook off.
 
Lookin' good!
 
Off to the fridge? Ice bath in shallow pans or you'll be adding dumps tomorrow too. :)
 
That's a big pot and it will stay in the unsafe zone too long.
 
I think there are as many chili types as there are cooks, eh? ;)  I'm with the Texians in this though... beans have no place in chili, at least not for me. Put 'em on the side with the cornbread. I made a couple gallons of Turkey chili for a fundraiser cookoff last weekend and put 3 cups of beans in it because it made it go further, but not for the flavor. My dumps of choice were Anchos, New Mexico chiles, and Chimayos along with a half a cup of Red Mole'. What you've got going has my juices flowing Bill... :drooling:
 
I'm drooling!   When oh WHEN will we get replicators in our homes? :pray:  I'd so love to order up a bowl of that, RM.
 
I hope you won't be serving that to no stinkin Bronco fans. They are not worthy.
 
And besides, I hear they like beans in their chili. PLAH!
 
Looks awesome RM. as usual.
 
GO HAWKS!
 
Thanks everyone as TB said It is gooder'n hell :)

Boss good point, gave her a good ice bath and put her to bed for the night.

Scovie I really don't know who all will be there but if there are any there then it's time they learnt what good chili is ;)

Shane, WORD brother!

Last word is

GO HAWKS!!!
