Here's the difference of the chili making process, chronologically, though ... including the fashionable SmokenFire StandUp #SpoonShot ...

No refried beans at the specialty store, no problem ...

Finally using the silicone wrapped masher after years of it tangling things in the utensil drawer ... priceless.

Time for the 3rd dump ...

Sweet corn and refried pinto's ...

And then finally, a little quajillo chocolate ...

Prep some topper's ... Peno and Peppadew cheese to bring it back, chives, and SC ...

Didn't end up using these canister's spices, or the Mild Bill's ...

Plated pics in final post ...


Chamillionaire's "Good Morning" plays ...

Tasty.

And so was my reward ... a 5AM slice of mint-chocolate cake in a messy kitchen ...

I was sitting on the couch waiting for the thread to get bumped, but only sicman logged on and nobody bumped it, so I took a nap w/ my little dog, who was thrilled to be a) not in her crate, and b) on the couch where's not allowed ...

I guess I need to got sit at a desktop and enter some verbiage/instructions, but I'd really rather make a corn dog for brunch ...
 
10 pages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Wow! Nice one guys!
 
Still have until 10pm!
 
Taking a minute to read the thread while chillaxin' ...

BB81's spice shot, SF's bison plus celery/poblano choice, and Phil's epic bowl stand out ...

JHP's "get's in there" later, but through page three (I'm reviewing) he's giving me bambi shudders ...

I spent at least thirty seconds looking at the teeth on the table.

LOL ...
 
JJJessee, glad you got the PoL pic in with the re-plating!

I have one tip. Take that ingredients pic out of the milk and corn meal, and put a second presentation pic in, the one that got compliments and someone quoted.

The final post is 6 max, so I'd do that switcheroo, since people liked that pic! Nothing wrong with two presentation pics, yes, it is allowed.

You can edit that ingredients pic into an earlier or later post. :) I know you are new to this, just trying to help. People will be voting based on that one post.
 
My favorite chili is cooked outside...on cast iron.
Something about the flavors of outdoor cooking just can't be done inside....and chili is an outdoor meal!..and it needs BEER (both in the chili, and the cook).
 
My chili always has multiple meats in it. Today, I'm using Hot italian sausage, top sirloin, and chicken tenderloins. 
Ancho chilis, onion, poblano (non-dried anchos, I understand), garlic. Whole and crushed tomatoes, and Mississippi mud black and tan. 
 
A little process action. 
 
Chopped ingredients

Sauteeing in cast iron over charcoal

Simmer down, now. I hit it with a hickory chunk for some smoke-age
