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]

[@jonathanberner2210]

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.

[@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 😋

[@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]

[@mortenfrosthansen84]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@ceejay4377]

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!

[@mcwaste]

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

[@notwithoutmyfather9855]

I love chili of all races. Beans,no beans. As long as they make my tummy happy.This looks looks like it'll do that!☺️👍

Another great addition if you're gonna "taco" or "tortilla" it: Some cotija and Salvadoran crema. Holy moly, it is AMAZING! Thanks for the video, I've never watched mine; I've recently took inspiration from a Sonoran meatball recipe I saw a few months back 😋

99 degrees here in Fredericksburg Va today so this recipe will stay at the top of he que for fall cooking. Sounds like a GREAT one and I will go with the pork variation. Thanks.

I’m a native Arizonan and consider myself a Chili Colorado connoisseur. This looks about as authentic a recipe as you’ll find and I can’t wait to make some. Wish I had a bowl and some fresh flour tortillas right now! 😎🌵

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Thanks so much! Enjoy!

[@F14Goose37]

Flour tortillas!? You know what's good. Our neighbors to the south in Sonora make the best flour tortillas in the world. I love corn tortillas, don't get me wrong, but a pile of warm flour tortillas made with just lard, salt, flour and water is really hard to beat.

[@fishlovme]

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! I might try this recipe with some of my canned venison I have, or I'll chop up some venison I have labeled for stew meat. Can't wait to try this!

[@bellasaggarios8668]

Just wanted to let you know that your recipe won me 2nd place in "Best Chili with Meat" AND "Best Chili overall". 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 did not opt for the Jalapeno as I felt it would be just a tad too much heat and it was perfect without it. I will be making this recipe from now on when I need a good bowl of Red. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Fantastic. Although surprised that it was only the 2nd =) But thanks a lot for sharing, Bella - if you have a pic of the contest, please send me one on Facebook or IG.

I am team no beans, but I did add fire roasted tomatoes. I made this recipe tonight, and it's simmering on the stove and finishing up right now. I can't wait to taste it. Awesome recipe, very very similar to a bowl of Texas red. I bought a new blender slash food processor in order to make chili and it worked beautifully. I will be making this one a bunch of times.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

[@isabelayalan]

I’m so impressed how a non-Mexican knows how to use peppers, at the beginning I thought he was going to be a scam like Rachel Ray making pozole, which was AWFUL!!! Congratulations I’m making some of your recipes, as a Mexican I love spicy food, really spicy, and these recipes look delicious!!!

Thia is awesome. Will do this tomorrow. Most likely with serrano, chipotle and some extra stuff. I add a single reaper now and then. Last time with the texas version i was sloppy and forgot to add some fresh jalapeno for the onion roast, will remember this time. I bet this would also taste delicious with a habanero based sauce.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

I like it! I'll take a bowl! Enjoy.

[@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.

I cooked it your way and it was absolutely great! Chapeau my friend!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

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.

[@WigganNuG]

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!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Yes, definitely adjust to your own heat preference. Thanks, Wiggan!

[@ragerancher]

[@mcf3778]

beans are an extender... you have to add beans so the $70 pot of chilli isnt gone in 20 minutes

[@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.

[@ching574]

What makes this $70 I live in Cali and it wouldn't cost me $70 to make this

[@3rdPartyIntervener]

This recipe would serve my household of three adults with no leftovers, is my guess. It looks amazing. To serve a “family” with more people … I would imagine the meat costs would raise. So yes, I would add beans and serve with Spanish rice with tortillas for more round meal options. But darn….this looks amazing !

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. For a truly hot chilli sauce I usually don’t use beans but for an aromatic spicy but not too hot chilli I do use beans. Both are lovely.

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!

[@MtnBadger]

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. 😊

This man does Chili right! An absolute home cook masterpiece! Chuck steak instead of ground beef! Lots of real dried chilis! My own family recipe is an exact copy of yours with two differences: I add a bottle or can of ale and I thicken with masa instead of flour. If you don’t have masa in stock just crush about 8 corn chips into the chili and mixed until dissolved. I make two permutations. A: no beans no tomato, serve with cheese, raw onion and scoop up with corn chips. B: beans and tomato served straight up or over rice.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Outstanding! I love it! I also like using a good ale sometimes. So good!

[@phillwatson9274]

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.

[@larsvanderheeg4305]

The recipe and way of cooking seems wonderful. I will definitely try it. Beans are OK but not compulsory ordinary spongy wheat bread for soaking the sauce works just fine.

I like it both ways, I have Fresno & Anaheim chilis in my garden will use the instead of Jalapeño’s! Thanks for a great chili recipe!👍👍

I started using dried Chinese peppers (no idea what they are but not hot at all) because recipe's told me so. When they're gone never again because I like fresh peppers like Mme. Jeanette, Adjuma and Habanero. They've such al fresh and fruity taste. Love it chopped on my fried eggs too...!!

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

I LOVE your choice of fresh peppers!

[@BitterSong28]

That’s it! That is the Chili Colorado that I have been looking for. I was skeptical about your recipe calling for six (!) different chili peppers, but that is it! 🙌 It is true Chili Colorado. Thank you:)

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Perfect! I am happy that you've found it!

Beans on the side, refried, arroz rojo and some tortillas! Glad I found this video, I miss good Chili Colorado. Most places around me make it with quickly cooked meat and a house sauce. It can be good but I've only had it in a restaurant once where it was slowly stewed like it should be. They added tomatillos to their sauce. I could eat it every day. Too bad that placed closed.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Absolutely, low and slow is the best way to go for this recipe.

[@BenedictThambiah]

As a Southeast Asian I love that you have a pestle and mortar. ❤

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

I use mine frequently. Invaluable!

Chili Colorado in a folded Navajo fry bread (on the thinner side) is incredible!

[@youdandee1]

This is great I must try this

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Let me know how it goes. Enjoy!

[@gordtron]

i really need to try this style, beef chunks are the way.

[@ricardounterkircher5504]

I changed the recipe quite a bit and it turned out to be the best chili I ever had. First time I made a chili sauce like this. First I fried bacon strips, set them aside and made a soffritto in the same pot. Then added garlic and two diced habaneros, after a minute or so I added tomato puree and fried that some more. I then added 800 grams of ground beef/pork and fried it. Then I added the chili sauce, one can of tomatoes, the bacon bits and 15 drops of raw cocoa mass. After stewing for about two hours I added two cans each of kidney beans and cannelli beans. Delicious. I am sure it is even better with chuck roast, though. Next time I might add some coffee as well. Thanks for the inspiration. This kind of chili sauce is so much better than just adding cayenne and chili powder.

I am glad that you've enjoyed the recipe!

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.

[@ChiliPepperMadness]

Absolutely!
