Looks way to spicy for me, so I'll pass on it. I do make my own chili and make enough for two meals, since I use my little crock pot and let it cook for 5 to 6 hours. I love eating it was shredded cheese and some sour cream. Last batch I did make with ground beef and tomorrow I will be having the second one I took out of the freezer for lunch tomorrow (Monday) I do enjoy watching Atlanta cooking. I'm looking forward to all the recipes she does on this channel and her own.

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

a nice, spicy chili can really grab ya by the boo-boo. but remember that chili has a LOT of forms and flavor profiles. it's said that chili was created by San Antonio *_"Chili Queens"_* that would roam the streets selling chili and whatnot. (sometimes more whatnot than chili.)

My Chili recipe is it's the week before payday and I need food so what's in the pantry and freezer? I generally stick to some basics but yeah anything i can find

[@yourlifeisagreatstory]

Ya, there’s the typical canned Hormel chili. Which my family calls “White Person Chili” (my stepmom makes homemade that’s really great in a cold night) which is the classic type that people put crackers in, on top of hotdogs, or can be more of a soup. Some think chili has to be hot but I find the best is more the chili used as a spice and it being savory. We make “Red chili” that’s made by cooking hamburger, then adding a little bit of flower to brown and making a starter almost like you would a gravy, then adding kitchen bouquet chicken 2 bouillon cubes, [Fernandez brand] red chilies ground into a powder (not the typical chili powder seasoning), a bit of water slowly at a time to add volume to the rue but making sure it’s not too thick, but not watery. I like adding Fritos and Cheese, but my family likes to add the normal toppings. It can also be made that way with pork. Then “Chili Beans” which is made with pinto beans cooked in a pressure cooker, then adding it to the chili from above. We also make green chili with pork using roasted chili we buy by the bushel. My mouth is watering just thinking about it haha

[@JamesSchwarberg-xm3ox]

I love adding a scoop of Sour Cream. It knocks the spiciness down and makes the taste better as well.

Great job, as always! Pro chef tip: chop and/or measure out all your ingredients before you start cooking. It's called mise en place, meaning putting everything in its place. It will make your cook more efficient, more organized and much cleaner. :) Also, ALWAYS taste your food. Then you do not need to wonder if it's too spicy, too salty, needs salt, etc etc, and you can problem solve if necessary.

Just a hint: when eating hot spicy food use milk. Water just spreads it around the mouth where as the milk fats bind to the capsacin which is what causes the burning and pulls it off the tongue and mouth. And if no milk or do not use it then bread will work as well. You want to soak up the capsacin and heat.

[@mcrchickenluvr]

Denzi downed a cup of milk.

[@Theorangecrushgamer]

Nah just take the heat like a champ

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

There are levels. cinnamon candy hot / tongue burning -- water cayenne pepper hot / throat burn, coughing -- milk or cheese habanero / nose running -- bread, tortillas, etc. distilled hot sauce / sinus headache -- white rice and several hours

[@crisnoh222]

TX native & have made chili for yrs. The key is the type of chilis you use. I have always used chili powder blends, I mix my own from different peppers, to control the heat. Most of these blends are not overly hot, just flavorful; use cayenne to bump up the heat. And I know alot of peo put cinnamon in theirs but I never use cinnamon or coffee; and I never put beans in my chili! There are 1000's of recipes for chili. But staples are the beef, the chilis, the stock & the long cook to break down the beef and infuse the flavors.

[@steph____]

Chili recipes vary widely between states and families due to regional influences, personal preferences, and the availability of local ingredients. Each region brings its own twist, whether it’s the inclusion of beans, different types of meat, or unique spices. Family recipes often evolve based on tradition and passed-down secrets, making each one distinct. Texas chili stands apart due to its traditional exclusion of beans and tomatoes, focusing instead on hearty chunks of beef and a robust chili pepper base. Personally, a chili isn’t chili to me unless it’s with ground beef and beans… because that’s what I grew up on.

[@bozimmerman]

Passed down secrets? You mean how the Dutch and English settlers brought their Chili recipes to Delaware from the old world and passed them down to their Georgia decendants? You do realize how silly this sounds to Texans, right?

[@neoncatfish4038]

As a 65-year-old Texan! First I want to thank you for doing chili! I have never heard of chili with coffee, but I have heard people putting chocolate in their chili! For competition chili! I never had tried it with chocolate! Most families will just use hamburger meat, but sometimes chunk meat like you did! Now you need to try a Frito pie! That is corn chips (Fritos in America) with chili, cheese and onions! I'm thinking one time y'all say you can't get Fritos! But I'm thinking of Doritos you had would work too!

Great job on the chili! A quick hint on the heat level is that it looks like you used only chili's de arbol which are pretty spicy. If you can use a blend of guajillo, Chipotle, ancho, Pasilla etc to increase the complexity and reduce the heat. .keep playing around with whatever you can get in new Zealand to figure out what you like best.

[@cobrian45]

This is correct. This is the blend I use and it's very mild, can add other chilis to increase spice level.

[@timisme8360]

There's also a big debate about chili with or without beans. I like it both ways. People will argue till the sun goes down but it just goes by personal taste in my opinion.

You learned the hard way to be careful when adding chili peppers to in a hot pan. That is essentially what pepper spray is (don't worry it's a mistake we all tend to make a few times, myself included) 😂. Just use about half what you did this time, and I bet you will be making Texas Chili a lot. Cutting back on the peppers is perfectly fine, you still want a bit for the flavor but find the amount that you guys like.

Yes, you are correct, we call it cilantro.When we are using the leafy parts. The seed we call coriander then its dried and ground

[@brentholladay3113]

I learned watching Gordon Ramsay, that you roll the pepper between your palms and it will break up the seeds inside of the peppers skin, you can then just pour out the seeds. That is if you do not want all or any of the seeds in your recipe. It is a very cool trick ❕

[@Imme_begin]

As a life-long (69 years) Texan, this was very interesting. I have never seen chili made this way. Most use ground beef or venison chili meat which is a little coarser. Also, people use a chili blend. (I use Morton’s, but I have made my own from chili peppers before) I’ve never known anyone to use coffee or cocoa powder. We call the leaves cilantro and the seeds coriander. Here is my husbands recipe 5 lbs ground beef 4TBSP Morton Chili Blend per lbs of ground beef 1 onion for every lbs of beef 2 cloves garlic for every lb of beef 2-3 cans Rotel Tomatoes per 5 lb Just enough beer to cover. I do a cardinal sin according to my husband because I put a little ketchup in my bowl of chili. The “rule” is no beans in Texas 🌶️. I’m not sure where that came from. Now I want to try this because I am so curious. It is not the traditional Texas Chili. 🫶🏻😊 Beer (not water) One of the main this is to simmer it for hours.

Atlanta, Pro tip! You can make your own Cornmeal by using popcorn kernels and grinding them up with a food processor or coffee grinder! Cornmeal isn't widely available in NZ but places like Ottimo Food Store do have it, and they may call it coarse corn maize. You can also substitute it with Polenta. The main difference between Cornmeal and Polenta is they type of corn used. Cornmeal is made from a field corn called Dent corn which is less sweet and starchier than sweet corn and if it's stone ground it has a coarser texture and richer flavor than steel ground cornmeal which uses steel rollers to make a finer grind and it removes the Germ and Bran making it more shelve stable. Polenta is made from Flint corn that is coarsely ground.

[@lesliesheppard6112]

This is why we eat corn bread with it, it helps manage the spice.

[@GranpaMike]

Bless your hearts for trying Texas chili. Real chili is quite a bit different, I hope you give that a try someday. In my chili, I use eye of round (or chuck roast), slow cooked in a crockpot and then shredded; ground chuck browned in a skillet; chili beans, diced onions, chopped green onions, minced garlic, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, chili seasoning (either Watkins or Williams), and a little liquid smoke. It all goes in the crockpot to simmer on high for an hour, then low for another hour. The next time you're in Oklahoma, stop by and we'll make a batch. 😄

Great job Atlanta ! I find it a little bit easier to take a small handful of chips and crunch them up to smaller pieces and mix all the broken pieces into the chili and I also sometimes (if too spicy) put a dollop of sour cream on top of the guacamole and some diced up tomatoes and some optional chopped iceberg lettuce if you want it may help with the spicy flavor depending on how much spice you put in. If it’s still too spicy then just cut the spicy ingredients in half next time you make it that should help.

I wish I'd learned to cook. I love a good chili. Well done, Atlanta!

Good wholesome family fun and a meal to boot...

Hey! Hey! Our daughter is back cooking! Can't wait to taste! lol.

Adding a dollop of sour cream in your bowl with your other toppings also helps cool down the spice.

I’m sure someone already said but next time try with some sour cream! I am not a bean eater, I only make Texas chili!! Yum!

@yournewzealandfamily you all are hilarious!! One teaspoon of something does not change it to the whole pot it only alters the flavor profile mildly.(Coffee and cacao) Also you need to get used to eating spicy. Here in Texas we make sure that you taste the spice!! Unlike some other states where my friends say it's spicy and I can't taste a thing 😆😆😆. I have huge habanero bushes out back BTW 😆😆😆 I really enjoy your channel keep up the good work 👍👍

sounds SO good. Atlanta WILL open a restaurant in the USA. ;)

LOL...I loved the "they're getting fragrant" coughing. Happens to me all the time! I lived in Texas a long time...never tried coffee in my chili, who knows might be good.

I’ve been actually growing my own shishito peppers which is fricking rare as it’s not exactly available very often in garden centers. Its maximum heat level is maybe 50 to 200 on the scale. Just a dry pan and heat to blister them. Also they are sweet as they literally don’t have much heat and if they do it’s like one in like 50 but you can’t tell until you taste it.
