Busting Chili Myths (The BEST Way To Make Chili)

Facts

[@apeaape]

Unless you include bean proteins yea

[@Silentgrace11]

I only use a thickener in any of my soups and stews if i need to get them on the table fast and don’t have time to reduce them lol. Tastes a lot better that way imo

[@archibaldcreep1]

I've used refried beans to thicken it

[@ZombieFarmboy666]

I’d never even heard of using corn starch to thicken chili

[@socalledbutton]

Try white hominy (pozole) in your chili! Replace some of the beans with a can of hominy, drained, rinsed, and roasted in the oven til slightly crispy. Adds a great textural and flavor contrast.

Bitterballen are indeed the best Dutch food, they’re great! We also have some decent pastries. Aside from that, the guy was correct. You can have good food or Dutch food. Not both.

[@jac540]

Not a stamppotfan? (ok, I can understand why people don't call it 'good food', it's too simple for that, but I still like a lot of the stamppotten). Bitterballen are the bomb though, even though frikandellen are actually a tiny bit higher on my list of favorite fried foods.

[@Orlen]

I guy I used to work with brought back some vlammetjes with him from the Netherlands once and I remember them bein absolutely delicious. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a way to get them here in the UK

[@jac540]

@@Orlen Those are definitely nice too. An acquired taste though, about half the people I know think they are too sharp. (but that will be mainly due to Dutch people not being used to anything spicy :P )

[@jasonricchio5139]

For the record, chili without beans is referred to as "contest chili." When you participate in chili contests, the chili you send to the judges cannot have any volume expanders like beans, rice or pasta. After judging is finished, contestants add expanders to stretch the chili so that more contest attendees can have samples.

[@TexasVeteranFishing]

For the record, beans were never allowed in ICS chili cookoffs until bush's sponsord the events, and they created the homestyle class that allows fillers like beans, corn, etc. Chile con carne.... not chili con carne y frijoles.

[@Rixoli]

@@timneedham8267 This, Chili is like a good rack of BBQ ribs. Some parts of the country favor pork ribs over beef ribs; there are multiple bases and styles and flavor profiles. There's no real one "Best" way.

[@KillerCornMuffin]

Texan here, I would definitely call no beans Texas style, but I always eat chili with beans in it. Eat what you like, just call it what it is.

[@justicetamplen]

It’s definitely “Texas style” but chili was invented here. That’s like calling spaghetti without hot dogs “Italian style” and assuming there should be hot dogs in all spaghetti.

[@TehChaps]

The chili recipes I follow for taking the meat out is more about browning large chunks, and then cutting them into smaller and added back together after. I wonder if the hello fresh recipe adapted that idea but didnt realize ground beef wasn't required to do that? Maybe it was an AI amalgamation of chili recipes with convenience?

[@derrickp.5435]

I use beef neck bones. Cheap cut, cooks super tender if you dice it (e.g the size of a dice/a pinky nail) and if you haven't done chili with chopped/shredded beef you really really need to. AND you get that little bone in each one and the marrow (if you can leave it in without eating it) makes the chili so smooth and savory. ALSO, BEANS AND CORN BELONG IN CHILI FIGHT ME

[@TehChaps]

​@@derrickp.5435 Agreed. I usually use ground beef unless im trying to make it a nicer meal and I'll use short ribs and take the bones out after 3 hours. Thats when I brown the meat and remove it, let it cool, and then chop it into smaller pieces and put everything together to cook for the hours of simmering down.

[@gemlee5007]

I was thinking about chili earlier. Didn't expect this video to come out today 🤣

[@blarghchan]

>use a thickener >BEANS set sail for fail.

[@pandaslayer]

I've also heard about adding baking soda to your chili towards the end of the cook, to help neutralize the acidity from tomatoes.

[@tisbecurly3445]

I'd use large carrot chunks for this. be sure to remove them after. They ABSORB the acidity of tomatoes and add great flavor! :) -Yours truly, San Antonio local (^ _^)/

[@alyssatheexcellent]

I do my aromatics without meat, but it's complicated. I don't use a thickener unless you count tomato paste, beans and reduction, I cook in a pot over a stove closest to a Dutch oven, and the beans add texture and thicken the sauce. Chili without beans is for hot dogs.
