Smokey Cola Chili - Amazing one pot recipe

[Trustmeimadoctor]

I grated them all and mine were great really no fried bits but went to mush they all did but itgave it a great texture imho

Do you intend to post about anything other than your chilli recipe?

Better than a lot of people who post endless reams of ste on anything and everything.

Back on topic, I like the idea of oven baking rather than stove top. Whenever I try and cook a chili or curry on the hob, even on the lowest setting it ends up burning the sauce onto the bottom of the pan. Will give this recipe a go in a couple of weeks.

Hi Chris,

How did you get on?

I am down to my last two portions now so I might make a batch this weekend if anyone fancies cooking along with me?

[Trustmeimadoctor]

going to do a second lot this weekend anyone tried any chorizo in it ?
going to do half shin half ground beef and a few more chilli's for heat

[RobbieTheTruth]

How did it go? Any pics?

I made on this weekend - used 400g of lean pork mince and 400g of chopped pork shoulder for a red-meat free version.

I'm just cook ingot his tonight and planned to eat it tomorrow.

What's a low temp to cook at? 100f ?

And how would I re heat?

Looking forward to it

About 120.

You can reheat a portion in a saucepan - or put it in a pyrex in the oven.

How's it looking?

[Trustmeimadoctor]

Done this loads now and I'm still loving it good luck you will enjoy it

[m3jappa]

Thanks Robbie

It's my first attempt at a chilli and it's looking bloody amazing! I just tastes the sauce before it went in the oven and I can only describe it as darkly flavoured! Really looking forward to it

[m3jappa]

Well it tasted good coming out the oven so I understand it will be even better tomorrow, I did add a couple more finger chillies half way through as it wasn't too hot, next time I might load right up on the chilli.
It does taste good though. Very deep flavour and quite complex. Nice smokey flavour

Tbh I could have eaten a load straight away

I tried the recipe but for me it was lacking something, a spoonful of cinnamon and it was my best chilli yet, thanks OP, great recipe.

Next time I will try a couple of cinnamon sticks from the start.

[m3jappa]

Ate mine tonight, really nice deep smokey flavours, I'll put some more chilli in next time though as it wasn't hot enough, although I may be missing the point.

[Trustmeimadoctor]

I thought the same are chili's supposed to be hot?

[ecsrobin]

Holy thread resurrection!!


So after a quick search of the forums for the best chilli recipe I came across this. I followed the recipe today replacing mince for qourn mince (veggie better half) and only had 1 can of tomatoes so stuck with that.

Superb everyone had seconds and I loved the smokey flavours, will try the recommendation of cinnamon next time and hopefully tomorrow it tastes even better.

A fine choice.

Undisputedly the greatest chili recipe ever devised

A question though what do most people have this chilli with? I went for it as a bowl meal on its own but not a great fan of rice so up for alternatives.

[tattymarbots]

anyone made this in a slow cooker rather than the oven

I layer a bowl with some re-fried beans
thin layer of cheese
fat layer of chilli

nuke it....

add some Jalapenos... scoff using a spoon and/or Nachos.

Chilli without cumin is kinda like garlic bread without garlic. Or bread

I like gently warming a pyrex dish of nachos in the oven, then topping it with hot Smokey Cola Chili. It's also nice stirred into penne pasta, or on bread with melted cheese (like a Sloppy Joe)
