Chilli [con carne] NYE Party

[spdpug98]

As per our usual NYE we are having a few friends round for some serious drinking and a nice meal and I have been volunteered to do the cooking again. Instead of a formal meal this time, I am thinking of preparing a pot of Chilli [con carne] and cooking it in the slow cooker then letting people help themselves as and when along with some nice fluffy rice

I do have one problem though…I have never cooked Chilli before and I really want to cook a proper fresh Chilli

I have had a quick search and couldn’t find anything, so can anyone help with some good recipes

I'll post my recipe up later on when I get a chance

I'll look forward to it, I was planning on serving up at approx 8.30/9.00 so not too late into the evening

Have a read through this 'Your best chilli' thread and make the Jailhouse Chilli - it's excellent.

That Jailhouse Chilli may be a winner, not sure how the search didn't come up with that thread

Now that I have decided on the Jailhouse Chilli for tomorrow, I am thinking of throwing it all in the slow cooker tonight and letting it cook overnight and then re-heating tomorrow evening. Is this a good plan or should I just cook it tomorrow, I was hoping this would give it time to get the flavors flowing

All done, now in the slow cooker and I'm sitting back with a few beers

Nice one! Might I suggest, and not wanting to sabotage your dish in any way, that since I find the longer you cook it the more the edge is taken off the chilli, that you drop an extra couple of spoonfuls of chilli powder in prior to reheating?

Thanks for the tip
