1 lb dried Black beans
2 lbs ground beef
2 cans of stewed tomatoes
1 whole yellow onion
1 bell pepper
1 small jar sliced banana peppers
Fresh garlic
1/4 cup Chili powder
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp black pepper
1/2 tbsp Sea salt
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 bottled beer
1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese
Cook the entire bag of dried beans the day before- if you want to cheat, just use 4 cans of black beans.
Dice the onion, bell peppers, mince up the garlic, sauté these in large skillet in 2 tbsp's of olive oil, once the onions are transparent... Crumble and brown the ground beef while adding in the seasonings.
Once the ground beef is browned, transfer to a large crock pot. Add in the tomatoes, then the beans (drained and rinsed), the whole jar of banana peppers with the juice. Then add the beer.
Turn on high and let cook 5-6 hours. Once it's been simmering at least 4 hours add in the cheese, it gives the chili just the right consistency plus a little added zing of flavor.

Caldillo (Green Chili Stew)
10 - 12 Fresh Green Chilies
1.5 lbs pork or beef
2 lbs potatoes
2 medium onions
1 head of garlic
Salt & pepper
3 TBSP oil
Wrap entire head of garlic in foil. Put garlic and chilies on cookie sheet, and put in oven on top rack with oven on broil.
Shake cookie sheet every minute or so to turn chilies, until the skins on the chilies are blackened.
Remove from oven, peel chiles and cut them into strips. Peel your (now roasted) garlic and mince.
Cube pork or beef, coat with salt and fry in oil until browned.
Add cubed or sliced potatoes
Add garlic and cut up onions ( you want chunks, not slices)
Let fry for 5 minutes while stirring.
Add chilies
Add enough water to cover all ingredients
Let simmer for 1/2 hour. Pepper to taste.
I find that sometimes adding a bouillion cube or two helps adds some richness. Beef cubes if using beef, chicken cubes if using pork.
And if you'd like to generate your own personal force field or find solitude in the midst of a crowd, add 4 extra heads of garlic.

Why dark chocolate?
Bitter Dark Chocolate enhances all the flavors of your spices. It pairs really well with chiles and jalapeños. You only need one square to a 3-4 quart pot. Do not use cocoa powder or candy bars! The best chocolate is Mexican dark chocolate. It has a dash of cinnamon in it. Bitter dark baking chocolate is fine though.
Another good idea is to add a little beer to your ground meat when cooking. Great tenderizer. Also adds a bold flavor.
Never heard of a chicken chili that won a contest. Any that I have seen have beef...lots of beef, beans and give you a full mouth of flavor in every bite. Not the kind of chili that burns your mouth!
Crock pots are good for cooking chili...less chance of scorching it for someone that gets distracted from stirring the pot.
Good luck in the contest.

If it works for you then you should use it.
I prefer natural cocoa...72-100% dark chocolate that has not been through the process of removing the cocoa butter. It also has more flavonols.
Another tid bit...when use cocoa powder in baking instead of cocoa squares you need to substitute baking powder for any recipe that requires baking soda. Easy was to remember...powder with powder.

I used to go to some of the cook-offs decades ago.
Most chili made was not the chili you ate
except at the cook-off.
Chili w/o beans is a stew.

Here in the northeast we use beans for chili.
For chili to put on hotdogs...no beans at all.
I know in the Chicago area they have chili without beans they put on pasta too.
If you go without the beans you are going to need more meat and a thickener like tomato paste.

Beef chili? Use the best beef. Buffalo, highlander, or limosine meat. Brown it nicely, slow, and steady. Do not be afraid of keeping a steady cooling while browning with water, cooking sherry, or beer. Fatty meats do not add flavor. Poor quality meats ruin chili recipes.

Beans? There are so many. Dry, or canned....they all need to be rinsed. Dry beans boiled, and double rinsed to remove starch that ruins flavor. Kidney beans, Frijoles, Red beans, White beans, Pinto beans....there are no rules. Only choices. Always detach your beans.

...your butter will create a film on top of your chili, and so will pork grease. If you brown pork, and beef...you can rinse it in a strainer like noodles to knock out excess grease. I make a bacon, bacon, and did I mention bacon cheeseburger chili, and the grease has to be removed from the 4 pounds of bacon that's in it.

Veggies. No rules. But if you put corn in your chili...I will never speak to you again. onions, and shallots are a great start. Make sure the shallots are cut small or minced well if they are eye watering strong. Onions diced, and if you have chive shoots...mince them. They add as much flavor as onions themselves. Garlic. You can over garlic a chili immediately. Nice rule...one pinch per quart. 7 quart crockpot...7 pinches, or one tablespoon. Fresh garlic is best. Minced well.

No garlic in the recipe.
No corn either.
His called for yellow onions, I'm not a fan so I bought some sweet onions, because I am sensitive to onions and like them better.

Peppers...fresh. Green, yellow, orange bells, chopped. You can get into exotic peppers easily. Chili peppers, Pinto peppers, cherry peppers, banana peppers, Piri piri peppers, mild jalapenos...the choices are endless. Never make a chili hotter than your audience. Always make it palatable for everyone. Go as mild as you can go. Your spices will cover your flavor, and your Scoville factor.

....yes. it should cook through at low in 3 hours, and then turn it to warm. If you leave it on low too long it will start to dry out.
