Discussion
Jailhouse Chili
2 large onions, diced
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 tbs olive oil
3 tbs chili powder
5 red jalapeños, finely chopped
1kg minced beef, 20% fat
500g stewing steak, cubed
6 rashers streaky bacon, diced and fried
2 tbs ground cumin
2 tbs oregano
1 tbs cayenne
1 tbs turmeric
500ml dark beer
500ml beef stock
3 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
2 tsp garlic salt
In a large frying pan, saute onion and garlic in olive oil. After a few minutes add half the chili powder and half the diced jalapeños. Cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the onion mixture to a large casserole, leaving the oil in the pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine mince, chuck steak, fried bacon, the rest of the jalapeños and half the cumin, oregano, cayenne and turmeric. Mix well.
Brown the meat in 3 or 4 large clumps in the onion pan until brown on the outside. Don't worry about it not being cooked in the middle. Add this to the casserole.
Add the tomatoes, beef stock, half the beer and the second half of the cumin, oregano, cayenne and turmeric to the casserole.
Simmer on a very low heat for 1 hour.
Add second half of chili powder, the garlic salt and the rest of the beer. Simmer on a very low heat for another hour (or more) until the beef is cooked.
Serves 6 - 8.

I've got one bubbling away now, bit of an amalgamation of recipes I've seen on here and doesn't contain cumin.
Roughly in this order, quantity wise I find there's no rules, just chuck it in!!
Celery (finely chopped)
Carrots (finely chopped)
Garlic.
Peppers
Chillis
Onions
Lean steak mince from a butcher
Stewing steak
S&P
Chilli powder
Paprika
Cayenne pepper
Kidney beans
Tinned toms (plum and normal)
Worcester sauce
Tom purée
Bit of coco powder (don't know why but I heard it somewhere)
Beef stock (used one of them knorr jelly things)
Red wine
Stir, bring to boil, simmer. Ours has been on 4 hours now and it's pretty much ready and it tastes awesome! Almost considering cancelling the invites and just eating it myself.

I enjoy reading other people's chili recipes. There's some weird stuff here, I would never think of putting turmeric or red wine in a chili but then I would never make one without cumin. As far as cocoa goes, I prefer to just let a couple of squares of really dark chocolate melt into the stew before I serve it up. The cocoa adds to the flavour and the fats from the chocolate really add to the texture of the sauce.
A good chilli needs at least a little cumin IMO... aside from that, a couple of beef stock pots, mixture of mince and diced beef, tube of tomato puree, tin of passata, garlic and onion, then the main flavour is in the powder mix... chipotle flakes or paste, ancho flakes or paste, along with a standard chilli powder mix, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and a little oregano. Brown the mince and the diced beef, soften the onions and garlic and stick in a pot. Mix the powder and pastes etc together with a little water and gently fry the paste for a minute or two. Add the puree and cook for a few mins, then add the passata and simmer. Combine with the meat, onions and garlic and cook slowly for a couple of hours, adding whatever else you want eg kidney beans etc....
t load of butter and some chocolate in it too. My own recipe, I also add my own home made chilli sauce as I like my chilli to have plenty of heat.
2lb beef mince
2 large onions
6-8 cloves of garlic
1 50g packet of Chilli Pepper Petes' Fajita seasoning
2 tsp hot chilli powder
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
2 Oxo cubes
2 tins kidney beans in chilli sauce
1 tin of tomatos
100g tomato puree
2 red peppers (optional)
500g mushrooms (optional)
8+ cans or bottles of beer
Method,
1, Open a beer and start drinking
2, Place the beef mince and all the seasonings, chilli powders etc in a large sealable tub and mash the mince about a bit so the meat becomes small balls coated with the seasonings. Put the lid on the tub.
3, Place the tub in the fridge and remove another beer. Realise there is nothing worth watching on TV and go to the pub.
4, 24hrs later remove the tub of mince and another beer.
5, Roughly chop the onions and finely chop the garlic and fry with plenty of olive oil whilst drinking the beer.
6, When the onions are a bit fried add the beef and fry some more.
7, Add the kidney beans, tinned tomatos, tomato puree, oxo cubes and half a kidney bean tin of water.
8, Add the optional chopped peppers and mushrooms and place over a very low heat, then remove another beer from the fridge to drink while the chilli cooks.
9, Continue to drink beer for a couple of hours as the chilli cooks.
