Do You Have a Chili Recipe?

[kwebber]

My chili recipe includes 3 types of beans.

I only use one type of bean. But I'll use steak, pork sausage, bacon and 4 or 5 types of peppers.

What do you mean when you say "steamed"? I think we understand that as two different things.

OK, maybe instead of steamed, we could say braised. Another term might be stewed, but that really is the chili, ie chili con carne. Stewed chilis with meat of any kind. The basic recipe is right in the name. But Mom always said steamed, as she only used a bit of beer that boiled out during the final cooking of the meat, not that the meat was sitting in a big puddle of liquid to cook.

I should admit that Mom used a lot of different meats when she made her chili, and often that included snake and turtle. And she didn't hesitate to throw in some roadkill if it was fairly fresh. Armadillo is basically highway pork. Those kind of meats always called for steaming or braising to kill some of their funky flavors. But the chili she made from them was tasty Tasty TASTY!

My family insists on macaroni with their chili.

Eww, your people are from Cincinnati?

That's more acceptable until you got to the roadkill armadillo. I'd still try her leprosy chili though.

That's mostly a problem down in South America, not in coastal Texas where I'm from originally. Armadillos up here in the US are mostly free of leprosy, or it's pretty damn rare. And if the meat is completely cooked, the virus is killed, so it's not a problem. It takes a serious amount of leprosy virus to actually get the disease, any way, along with having a depressed immune response or certain other medical conditions.

I'm already positive for antibodies to Mycobacterium leprae, probably got it during my old work as a bench medical lab tech years ago.
