In Ca if we make chili from scratch we always start off with a pot of beans. Then add the meat and seasonings along the way.

That's just how we do it.

It comes out close to canned stuff. But with fresher ingredients.

Yeah, you can get canned chili with beans anywhere, but if it's homemade chili, putting beans in it is a sin against God down here.

Damnit now I want deer chili.

I'm a big fan of sinning against god, so how do you make it from scratch in texas?

Yeah, I'd be interested in knowing  that one ...
Mine was delicious; actually ...

God damn I hate grilled onions on a burger, makes the shit slimy and mushy.

Ah but grilled onions with liver is quite good.

We've covered that ...
I'm all about grilled onions on just about anything ...

But I do like the snap and sharp flavor of raw ones on burgers as well ...

chili powder, cayennesal, cumin, garlic, onion, bay leaf, bell pepper, tomatoes, celery. brown meat with salt and garlic. take it out, brown aromatics, add chili powders, brown them a little, add stock, add beans, cook til tender, add meat,  about another 30 min, et voila.

Add beans ... see you already went astray.

Right ...
Again, I prefer beans in my chili ...

I love beans in chili. The chili my wife made for me for the Super Bowl had several different kinds of beans, and quorn mince instead of beef. It was fucking fantastic, if not Texas-approved.

I'm a big fan of sinning against god, so how do you make it from scratch in texas?

Same, and fuck if I know, I've never made chili.  If it doesn't cook in a microwave, I've never cooked it.

And grilled onions are disgusting, I like mine raw and uncooked.

I like onions in both ways. raw in my enchiladas or tuna chopped extremely fine, cooked either big enough for me to pick them out, or small enough I cant get a big bite of them. I dig the flavor, not so much the texture when cooked.I usually put them in my molcajete in with the garlic im gonna mash.
I think today, since zoom left for MD, Im gonna make easy tacos and not cook til tomorrow evening.

I still have chili left over ...
It's a slice of heated heaven for me ...

OHOHOHOHOH; CHILI-MAC .....

Someone really tried hard to get people to use Jello for everything.

Yeah, I agree with both of your statements ...

it had this one recipe using lime jello and tuna and miracle whip. almost made me lose my cookies.

Damn, that looks good ...

I had burritos at a friend's house ...

what does he put in em? I make one tex mex food. chimichangas. basically fried burritos. cook a roast til it falls apart, refired beans, mix them together with sauteed tomatoes and onions, and cheddar cheese in an uncooked flour tortilla and deep fry. soooooo good.

Im making jerk chicken thighs and saffron rice and squash for dinner.

I had fish and chips last night, haven't even thought about it today yet.

.. ive been wanting fish.

I bought raw oysters today but I probably wont make them tonight.

Probably settle for grilled cheese and canned soup.
