Help With Chilli

	try adding some smoked paprika. And try bay leafs , the one fix leaf for flavouring , 1 to 2 will do it. but also warm up any powders you use , it helps release the flavours , and always use powders 1st , to get best effects. during cooking processes you lose the heat and flavour if added halfway through (not unlike indian currys) add when almost sealed of the meats but don`t burn the pan (bitter), if close , add a touch water , then your on your way. xavier is right , lemons help to reduce the power , you could also try celery salt as a milder seasoning agent. but then again there is always MSG monosodium glutamate. :-/

When you say about the powder do I put some oil in the pan then the powder and then add the Meat Because I Diced 4 smallish onions or 3 if they are Large then sear the Meat in with the Onions and then the Sauce ( which I wont do anymore I will make my own ) then a tin of Black/Red Beans then I added 3 desert spoons of Tabasco type sauce and If I want to add a twist I might add a small tin of processed Peas and 2 small stock cubes, and gently simmer for an hour or so,

	also if you prefer tomato based , use puree aswell as chopped , it give a better fuller flavour so you have depth all the way through , if you like a little sweeter or smoother , good old heinz tomato ketchup will finish it off (others can be more acidic), giving your chilli that deep sheen in the sauce. Add chick peas as an optional along with the usual red kidney bean , no real reason , just another dimension, but gives you a better yield ,stretching the flavour of whatever meat your using.

Cool, Sorry I forgot to say that I add a tin of Chopped Tomatoes. I found that a 7oz/175gram time of processed peas overpowered the flavour too much and I have also found a Tin of Baked Beans stopped the over powering effect of the Peas,

Pea's in Chilli??      NO WAY!

Chilli is Chilli because it's easy to make.   This is a Camp Fire food.   Basically it's just Meat an Bean Stew.  

Raw beens take forever and then some to cook.   Good Canned beans work if you do it right.

As  you can see from the post there's a Zillion and two ways to make the stuff.

Real trick is don't make it like people say.  Make it the way you like it.   Hot, Warm, Scalding or ?

If you use Ground Meat be sure to brown it well and DRAIN off the Fat.   Cubed meats with Canned Beans, Browned and cooked through.

Once you figure out what you like, make it by the Gallons.   It taste 10 times better the next few days later.

  Depends on the Meat.    Our Ground Beef Sucks .   you end up with too much greese.

Yea, Always better a day or two later.  The Flavors do the Dance.
