Chili Colorado Recipe (Old School Chili!)

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Are you Team BEANS or NO BEANS in Chili?

[@chocomommieBU]

Beans in chili are a Yes / No as it all depends on the type of Chili baby! For this dish here ^ I am going to say no beans, not needed but hey...if you serve them I'd eat 'em.

[@christopherkissinger3580]

I'm personally Team Beans, as it adds flavor and texture. However I also love the "authentic" recipe without. If it's your recipe, I dig it! I've learned so much about the sacred chili from you over the years 🙂

[@exasperatus2002]

Team no beans.

[@Balancing_burger]

I'm bean neutral and bean fluid.

[@vaughnslavin9784]

This is my absolute favorite recipe now for chili. I have been doing it with chicken thighs. Honestly it might be my favorite iteration. Excellent recipe. Thanks for posting!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

You are very welcome - enjoy!

[@toddm9501]

Do you sear the thighs whole. I'm intrigued. Since chicken cooks in less time.

[@nikip9161]

For sure, team beans. 😊 Chile Colorado takes me back over 20 years ago when I returned to the west. For $3.29 in a Mexican market, I would get the chile Colorado dinner complete with rice, beans, pico, tortillas... It was total comfort food, delicious.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks for sharing!! Sounds wonderful.

[@The_Gallowglass]

Some eat without beans. Those people are lame. Some eat with beans on the side. Better. Someone figured out you can put the beans in the stew. That person is a legend.

[@legion_prex3650]

good ol times!

[@mortenfrosthansen84]

Yeah.. I wish I had that, maybe just once a month

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

My mexican brother in law taught me how to make this in 1983 straight outta high school when we all lived together. It was messy but very good. Personal preference but I like all guajillo peppers and no ancho peppers....it is a lighter red and I like the flavor way better. It’s kind of the west Texas traditional way and we call it “asado” but it’s the same thing. To richen it up a little you can toast some pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds and blend them with the blender in the sauce and add 1/8 tsp of ground cloves. Absolutely not necessary, but adds another dimension. Great video and great recipe and nice to see another bib overall wearing white guy throwing down on some good traditional mexican cuisine! Liked and subscribed....your pickled jalapeño recipe led me to your vast collection of recipe videos. Thanks!

[@ZyklonBeast12]

I'm totally stealing this recipe 😋

[@robertpierce8567]

Add in cinnamon and ginger and you're on your way to Birria!

[@sharky3188]

Mate! I just tried this, I was a bit skeptical about the amount of effort for the payoff, but it was definitely worth it! I did the full 2 hours in the crockpot and its so full of flavor! I thought the heat might be a bit much for me but it's actually very well balanced. Much love from Australia and I can't wait to try out some more of your recipes.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Boom! I love to hear this! Seriously, very happy you enjoyed it as much as I do. I got this recipe exactly where I want it. Thanks for sharing.

"Effort for the payoff"? Outside of finding the chilis this is a very basic and straightforward recipe lol

Hi. I entered a chili cook off contest for the first time this weekend and won using this recipe. I browsed the internet and viewed a bunch of contest winning recipes before selecting yours. I did however make few changes. Firstly, I had never worked with these types of dried chilies before and when I made the sauce I found it to be a bit bitter. I'm not sure of that was natural or perhaps an error in my preparation. Never the less I compensated by adding a 1/4 cup of brown sugar which worked. Secondly, I did not add the 2 jalapeño peppers as it was hot enough for my taste (and the judges too it would appear). I did add 4 green peppers which I am not usually a big fan of but felt that their taste and texture would go well, (which I guess it did). And finally instead of adding fiery tomatoes as suggested I added 2 cans of regular Ro-tel tomatoes instead. I am a real fan of these. Since I felt these changes were significant enough to alter the recipe I gave it my own name as well. As my first name is Conrad, i renamed it to Chile Conrado. Thanks you

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

This is so great to hear! Congrats!

[@Nalianna]

That's part of the versatility of chilli.. you can add, remove, or alter, and make it your own. have a different chilli every day of the week, if you like

[@GwennyDove272]

😂😂😂 Chili Conrado! Good one!

[@patrickcollins7407]

Brown sugar is a good idea and green pepper which is used in Cajun food can work well. One thing for me which is missing from many of the US recipes....is vino! Add a third of a bottle of red or white at the start and you get that wonderful rich French stew flavour and also...stock!

[@kennethcunningham9496]

Wow... how I have forgotten this dish... I'm in California and I used to make this dish when my kids were teenagers... but, I never started out to make Chile Colorado... it always started out as a mix of dried chilies to make Chile con Carne w/ground beef or cubed beef that morphed into Chile Colorado w/beef or pork and later w/chicken or turkey... thanks for the memories as I plan to reacquaint myself with this delicious dish again! Beans (or potatoes in the last 20 mins)... count me in, although the purest has their beans and rice on the side.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

So glad to bring back some good memories!

[@mcwaste]

this looked really nice, seriously. wow i wanna eat it

[@CaliforniaCarpenter7]

Made this for dinner tonight. Absolutely incredible, man. I changed the oil and substituted lard instead of olive oil, and I added some msg but not even a quarter teaspoon. For peppers I always have Ancho on hand but I threw in Bird's Eye for the spice peppers and New Mexicos instead of Guajillo. The whole house still smells like paradise, really appreciate you sharing this one!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Sounds amazing, thanks for sharing!

This is my FAVORITE thing to order at my local Mexican restaurant! It comes with a side of that mushy beans and fried rice. I love adding those and the chili colorado onto a tortilla and eating it that way!

LOOKS WONDERFUL!

[@recordman555]

Looks great! I like making a HUGE batch a chili about twice a year. One thing I do - I believe a lot of foods benefit from the addition of an acid - something to make it pop. I add a bit of lime juice to my chill. Not enough that it's noticeable [taste], but just enough to give that little something extra.

[@bobthomas8342]

I use apple cider vinegar and a splash of coffee.

[@williamalexander1863]

@@bobthomas8342 I use a table spoon of coco powder. Gives it a good flavor!

[@endorphinparametric4132]

Agree. it only needs a little because I'd always be serving it with fresh lime anyway.

[@KonkyWonky]

A splash of Worcestershire sauce adds acidity and some extra flavour. The Mexicans call it Salsa Inglesa and use it regularly.

[@davec.1045]

great job! I add 1/4 tsp of cinnamon, brings another very subtle layer of flavor.

[@tobarstep]

I make this a few times a year. I use beef stock instead of water and I typically throw some chipotles in the puree. I've been known to throw some Dutch process cocoa in there as well for a sort of mole colorado.

I like that you've added 3 layers of heat with the peppers, jalpenos and cayenne; should have some balanced heat profile there but i'd caution people from wathing the cayanne and jalapenos can really run the gammut in terms so of heat as well. I really wanted to do a spicier version so this is a great idea thanks!

It was such a hit that even though I doubled it I still did not have enough and left with an almost empty pot at the end.

I'm a huge fan of Texas Red / Chili Colorado as is, but also love beans in chili (native west Texan here). Chili con carne or chili con carne y frijoles, its still chili. I am so tired of that old Texas trope that "there ain't no beans in Chili!". Same with add ins like hominy, fritos, cheeses etc etc. Its still chili After all, if you add lettuce & tomato & mustard to a cheeseburger, guess what, its still a freakin' cheeseburger.... btw, Your chili looks great!

It's a nice blend of heat and smooth, earthy flavor. Oh, and beans are a side dish. If you want throw those into the chile colorado for yourself, fine.

This looks great. Unfortunately in Australia it’s all but impossible to find the required chilies. I grow a few different varieties and dehydrate and smoke them but there’s a limited range of varieties available. Re beans or no beans I’m divided.

Beans just go well with chilli. I think it's something to do with cooking beans down with fatty meat. Some of the beans will break down completely and add to the luscious sauce. There are some South American bean dishes that use a lot of fatty pork and the more fat the better in breaking down the beans.

[@F14Goose37]

$70!? 😳 Are chilis and beef prices that steep where you live? I hope not, but I really feel for you if so. I know some places are outrageous and I realized how much I take certain ingredients for granted when I lived overseas, and then again when I moved back. I have always used pork for my chili. It is a cheaper cut and I am from the American southwest (Arizona). My parents learned to make green chili in Colorado and that's what I grew up with. I have since come to appreciate New Mexico style green chili more, and that is what I make now. I think any meat that is available is what is traditional, but pigs were certainly a staple in early New Mexcan (Northern frontier of New Spain back then) cuisine. Beans were another staple crop for native tribes in the area, so I think it would have been common in early chili stews too. I don't do beans in chili but I think it is silly to look down on it like many people do.

I learned to make this (though a little less spicey) in a Mexican restaurant in Montana, in the 70s, from a chef who learned it the right way from someone in Colorado. This is the closest I've seen to that, just adjust the spice count to your liking and purpose... It's chili here but, we made this and added it to our "Famous, Super Nachos" along with all the other good stuff and it absolutely makes the best nachos you ever had!! 😀 Thanks for sharing this, it should be a staple in anyone's home that likes chili, nachos or any other dish that calls for this kind of braised beef as a main or complimenting ingredient. 😊 For those who don't like all the chili's or are making something different but like the braised and seasoned beef, just omit the chili's and make it the same way and you now have "Beef Colorado." 😉 It's a very versatile dish and satisfying to eat. 😊

I'll be making something similar for my team at work tomorrow.

The technique of coating cubes of beef with flour and then searing works magic. I use it to make excellent Stroganoff and, yes, any excess flour acts a thickening agent.

Absolutely!

Love the videos. Your tastes line up with mine

Awesome! Thanks, Brad.

Hello from France! Definitely gonna try it! Tough part will be to find chili peppers! I think I'll try with "piments d'Espelette"

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Enjoy! I know it can be difficult to find many peppers in different parts of the world. I have to grow my own piments d'Espelettes.

​​@@ChiliPepperMadness Tried and validated by the whole family! Have you ever tried to cook it with fresh chilis or is it better with dried ones? Going to Salt Lake city in march, I'll try to find some ingredients to bring back!
