I work at a middle school and we did a chili cook off. My family convinced me to make your recipe and enter it (they love your recipe and always want me to make it). So I made it and entered and won first place. So in a couple of weeks I have to work in a concession stand for two days. Our building principal asked me to make the chili so we can sell bowls of it for the event we are having since they loved the chili so much.
That is awesome! We appreciate you taking time to watch and so glad you won, be sure and tell them all that we hope we they enjoy your prize winning chili, God bless you and yours
Guess what Kent? I competed in my school’s chili cook off today, used your loving recipe, and I won first place. The on ingredient I didn’t have was your spicy relish, because I didn’t have time to order it, prior to the date. Yet, all went well. Also, I made some cracklins cornbread to accommodate the chili. I wish I could send you the pictures. Yummy, it was I tell you. Thanks for sharing!🌹♥️
Me and my dad started making this recipe about 6 months ago and we haven't looked back. I'm eating a bowl as I write this and there's nothing like it. Perfect flavor, perfect heat. We put this on everything. Heck I might even put it in my coffee. Best chili recipe I've found anywhere. It's a part of the family now. Thank you Kent!
Thank you. It's so important to our American families that care about old fashioned recipes and authentic American cuisine. And from you I see nothing but genuine authenticity.
Ok, I completely lost it when he said, “self-cleaning oven”. LOL 😂😆🤣 Mr. Rollins has a great sense of humor. I just recently discovered his channel. I’m amazed how he can cook a variety of foods without the need of fancy gadgets or an ultra modern kitchen. Living a simpler way of life is better. Greetings from west Texas 🌞🌵
I remember my late mother kept her cast iron in the oven when not in use. It was a gas oven with a pilot light, which kept the oven about 85 to 90 degrees. She said it kept her cast iron seasoned and dry. Never saw a spot of rust on her cast iron, and she had a special pan for eggs, and they never stuck. I love cast iron cooking. Keep up with the great videos Mr. Rollins.
I just made this chili last night for my kids’ church youth group... and it was a hit! Everybody loved it. I’m so glad I doubled the recipe and held some back for me, my wife, and my youngest son because there was nothing left when I picked up the kids afterwards.
Anyone eat chili with rice? In college I used to make big batches of chili in a slow cooker. Then for the next week I could take some rice, put chili on top and spread some shredded cheese on it and microwave the whole thing. Easy living.
Kent made this for my college daughter's tonight! Online learning is for the birds! Thought I would try to brighten their day! Food always does it! Thanks for being a good soul top notch guy! I watch all your videos!👍💪👊
Now this here is what I like to see on youtube. Love your cowboy demeanor and you're easygoing way of explaining things. I always said I grew up 200 years too late. Would love to have your campstove style setup. Thank you Mr. Kent!
I tried this recipe out today. It was the first batch of chili I've ever made in my whole life, and it was the best chili I've ever had in my whole life! A truly amazing recipe! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe Cowboy Kent Rollins! You're awesome! 😃
I found this video, I cooked it once, and now I make it more often than I can count. Thank you for this and all your other recipes and I hope you all have a wonderful day
I personally like beans, because it gives a different texture to each bite, instead of just meat and stewed tomato. I like a 50/50 of black beans and kidney beans. I also add a can of corn, which helps cut the tomato acidity and add some color to the bowl.
try going a step further and add black eyed peas, even if folks give it a funny look before they take a bite, it'll look just fine once they taste it, and 3 bean chili is what my friends ask me to cook again once they have had it, but you gotta be sure to increase the other ingredients to keep it balanced well
Can you cook with a cast iron dutch oven, in a BBQ smoker (Green Egg). If so , how hot can you get it? I did not know about not cooking waterbased soups in one. You are my Go-to-guy when it comes to cast iron.
I like to use beef and pork cook with onions 1-3/4 in weight and cook it tender 3-4h reduce the jus and pour on some water and reduce it againover and over again for the flavor some kidney beans, corn, tomatos and a mix of sweet pepper and habanero, spices I use a bit thyme,marjoram, tarragon garlic and salt. serve it with some bread rolls. greatings from austria btw :)
I haven't had much interest in cowboys or their history and culture and traditions but this cowboy has changed that, not just with the accent but the character is almost separate from person. I'm subscribed now.
So glad I came across your site Mr, Kent! I like be when you were in food network competition. It’s one of their few episodes I will view repeatedly. Your gentle but robust style is pure enjoyment for my husband’s & my old gray heads 👵🏻👴🏻 God bless you and your loved ones 🙏🏻❣️
Absolute facts. Americans nowadays have such a high percentage of depression in young folks because we are weighed down by the chains of consumerism. Too many People WANT but CANT be self sufficient, self helping and soulful people like cowboys are. The true Golden Age of the American People
I would say what America needs…there’s a vast majority of Americans that want something for nothing. If only those “leaders” would be more like Mr. Rollins. Teach Americans how to be self sufficient & make America self sufficient.
Just made this and it was difficult not to sample until the simmering was done…. fun to make and it’s really good….I love the tingle I’m experiencing right now…those chipotle’s in adobo….
I've been searching for the perfect chili recipe and this is it. I've made several other recipes and never cared for them. This is by far hands down the best. I will say after the first time making it I did love it but I wanted it a touch more watery so I add about 3rd cup of beef broth
I've had chili alot of different ways but I honestly think this recipe is the best I've ever had. I followed this recipe to make chili for my family and they all loved it so much they keep asking me to make more lol
Mr. Kent your chili looks delicious. My son,Spencer and I are certainly goin to make this. Im so grateful we found yalls channel. Blessins to you Mr. Kent and Miss Shannon yes I know yall are married but that is how I show respect to yall
I recently used this recipe with some venison. Cooked it over the fire in my camp oven, and served with cheddar cheese and some cornbread. May be the best chili I've ever eaten! 👍👍
Mr. Rollins, love the channel, your demeanor, the love of country that you have, the love of the military( I especially like that) and also the love of God. Thank you for what you do and your testimony!
COWBOY KENT! I entered your chili into my husband's chili cook off at work today and .....WE GOT #1 !!!!!! Thank you for sharing your recipe. God bless ❤
I made this yesterday with the omission of beans for certain reasons, and it was phenomenal! I live with a Mexican family, and after I served them a bowl they were incredibly pleased with how spicy it was. They said they were glad it was so spicy because they hate mild chili. Later on, they heated some more up and made themselves chili burritos lol I wrote this recipe down and placed it in my personal cookbook. 10/10 will make again!
Love chilli i put dark chocolate in my chilli baked beans and kidney make a big pan of it then put it in tubs and freeze just take it out when i need it . Love it
WIsh I was there with a pile of cornbread and a big mason jar filled with ice tea. I could almost smell that chili through the computer screen. That looked so good. I am sure you all ate well after that chili was made. Compliments and thanks for the recipe share from you and Shannon.
From a Chili efficianado, I can honestly say I love this and most chilis. I mean, I LOVE chili. I have made chili recipes from 'round the world. Chili dogs, chili & eggs, chili n tamales, chili burgers, chili pie, frito pie, Yankee chili mac, even chili cheese pizza. I awoke one night to visions of sundae glasses filled in layers with chili, refried beans, more chili, sour cream and guacamole, chili again, covered in Cheddar cheese sauce--all pieces chopped to pass through a straw! Shoot! Just two weeks ago my wife and I drove three and a half hours one way to San Antonio just to have chili from Texas Chili Parlor. Gospel truth, that right there. And, Sir... I have watched you for a long time. I've stolen many ideas from you. I appreciate you immensely. Albeit, chili... Real cowboy chili... Texas Cowboy Chili... ...simply ain't got no beans. Real Texas Cowboy Chili is made with whole cubed meat (preferably brisket), just a few flavor ingredients including either strong coffee or Shiner Bock beer, simmered for at least four hours. You receive automatic forgiveness, though, no penance necessary; you ARE from Oklahoma, after all. A man can't help where he's born. This is not a complaint. Just an as is.
Californian here. You sound just like my old coworkers back in Texas. I used to give em Hell about their different cooking style when it came to BBQ but it wasn't that bad. I almost liked brisket by the time I moved back to the Golden State. Tri-Tip is still better but hey I can't fault you on it. They didn't even sell that cut of meat in Kerrville. The whole time I lived there though, I never once saw a single bowl of this famous Texas Chilli. I even went to a chilli eating contest where they did NOT SELL ANY CHILLI 😮💨. Anyways, God bless you all down there. Especially now
@warrenpeace8304 Everything you say is gospel--Texas gospel. I did not originate here but, as a result of a career move of my wife landing us in the Permian, am a transplant from a state that will remain nameless, though is one that truly should fall into the ocean and whose initials might be similar in spelling to that Leftist unionist pustual known as Illinoizzz. Upon being forced to move here due to my wife's career, my expectations for Texas Red knew no bounds. But, alas, upon my first visit, when looking for homes, we were awestruck by our inability to find even one restaurant serving chili. When asking, literally everyone we met, we were invariably told to try Wendy's, or to pic up some Wolf brand at H-E-B. It took a while we eventually hit pay dirt. In retrospect, finding good Texas chili in Texas was exactly like trying to find a real, true-to-the-gospel, Bible-believing, uncompromising, running-at-Jesus, church within the Bible belt--all talk and no show, all bark and no bite, rare as hen's teeth. We eventually found both, chili and church, both in West and Southeast, Texas. Anecdotally... Honest truth: we went to Terlingua, the self egrandized, self proclaimed, world's number one chili Cook-off and, exactly as you say, could not procure even one spoonful of Red. Texas is great; we've made it home and learned to love it. But, all said, Texans can be big talkers with, in many respects, absolutely nothing to back it up. In fact, just switch those vowels and you have a more accurate idea of Texas (Taxes?).

I entered this recipe in a local chili cook-off yesterday and placed 2nd out of 15 contestants!! I added 1 tbsp of liquid smoke since the weather kept me from cooking outdoors. This is some delicious chili Kent thanks for sharing!
You sir cook Amazin I grew up in the city but loved visiting my family in the country there's no beating the life style and the peace of the country and the food
I'm a long time fan and I've been waiting years to try this recipe, well today 26/1/22 I have eaten the best chilli I've EVER tasted. It took me so long to find all the original ingredients hear in the uk at a reasonable price but I have enough to make this 10 times over now. Thank you kent, shan and the fur babies for all you do. We really do appreciate it. Take care and God Bless
I just realized that what you know as chili, in Mexico it's frijoles charros, rancher beans or cowboy beans. We ad beacon ham and pork rind. we don't add Chipotle but now I'm trying it l for a change.
I’m currently waiting for my chili to be done using your recipe😁 with a side of your cornbread recipe too. Can’t wait to feed my wife and son and get a cowboy dance out of them. Thanks Kent! From our family to yours
Made this today. I added only 1TBSP of chili powder instead of the 1/3 cup the recipe calls for. The end results was so easy and delicious. I will definitely make this recipe again.
Cowboy Kent and lovely Shannon, I made this for my parents (one recipe with beef for Dad, one with Beyond 'meat' for Mom) and it is now my Mom's FAVORITE thing to eat. She is an incredibly picky eater but she absolutely loves this (as does my Dad, only he prefers his beef)! Thank you so very much!
It's the annual chili cookoff/trunk or treat at church this weekend so I felt I needed to review your classic chili recipe before starting up my entry to the competition. Love you guys and I am always happy to see a "new" video.
You did real good. You let that simmer long enough for everybody to get to know each other. Just so you know I took third place in a chili cook-off in a field of about 50 people. It was a lot like the way you just did it.
I made your chili today. As I write this it is in the crock pot. I followed your recipe, but I did dial back the chili powder to 1/2 cup. I pulled four chipotle peppers out of the can and sliced them up, and I sprinkled salt and about four turns of a pepper mill over the beef/onion mixture before adding the spices. I sampled the chili after about 30 minutes in the crock pot that was set to Warm (it's now set to Low). All I can say is WOW! It is outstanding!! I will definitely be making this again. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Hey Kent, I made your chili a couple of days ago, ( it's even better as left overs lol ) best chili ever. great taste with just a little bite. It's a little hot for the wife ( she's sensitive lol ) so I guess next time just 1 can of rotel. I did add 2 kinds of beans ( kidney and chili ) This is my go to chili recipe from now on. God Bless
I’ve had this recipe and its very very good. In fact I just ordered 3 jars of his relish. Which I also use in his recipe for refried beans. Folks, just try it, you won’t regret it. This is great stuff! Thank you Cowboy Kent, his wife and I couldn’t forget his quality control pup!
This reminds me of a Funny Story. Years ago I used to make chili. I lived in a boarding house. My rent was $35 a week. That was the good old days. We all had kitchen privileges. Well here's my story. I like spicy food. So when I made chili. I dumped a whole jar of salsa in it. The funny part is how the salsa kept my roommates from partaking in my food. It was too spicy for them and set them on fire. But I liked it more for me. Well that's how you keep the freeloaders out. You make your food so spicy they can't handle it. Now that I'm older. I don't set the chili on fire like I used to. Hope you enjoyed the story have a nice day keep up the good work Shannon and Kent. You spoke of cheese on top of your chili. Have you ever thought of sprinkling parmesan cheese on it.
Pat Lowney I’m no stranger to your “too hot for freeloaders” trick. I also use it on my Thai food. It has, however, backfired once or twice.......fried my own tongue.
Haven’t found my favorite chili recipe....until today. Made this with left over pulled pork in my new cast iron dutch oven and man, is my soul happy. Happy 2021 y’all.
Chili was a staple for a mom & five boys. I use three different types of beans & since I live in town I fry up 80-20 ground Chuck/Italian sausage, add spicy tomatoes& tomato paste. Cook in the crock pot for several hours & Cowboy it’s a throw down! Love your videos!
A little something extra my mom and grandma always added was about 1/4 cup of baking cocoa to their chili. It brings out a different taste but doesn't cover the spices. Only other thing we'd have along with our chili was a toasted cheese sandwich!
Thank you sir for your time and the great video! I'm 82 and have been making Chilli for many years and I think mine is good but your's looks better! I intend to try your recipe very soon. Thanks again and God bless you and your work.👍👍
Only a few fast food restaurants are good to eat at. Chili’s, Applebee’s , etc. are exactly that: microwave crap or frozen, then fried. Don’t get me wrong, I like some fast food places that many consider trash or not much above dog puke, but, that’s just me. I enjoy finer things in life, also. There’s absolutely nothing better than fresh or semi-fresh ingredients to make a meal extraordinary, plus, the pride of a job well-done.
It's impressive that they can hoodwink people into going to microwave resturaunts when even Burger King and Taco Bell have food that's better and fresher than microwaved.
I make chili differently every time. But it always tastes like a good chili. I taste as I go and there's never a disappointment. Now I have to buy some of Ken & Shannon's Green Chili Chipotle Relish! I bet that would be good on Huevos Rancheros!
Mister Rollins I work in a very stressful occupation and there are days I just come home and I'm completely worn our physically and mentally. But I have been watching your youtube videos for some time now and it greatly helps me. I just wanted to let you know that you help in more ways then showing me how to make some killer biscuits and gravy. God bless the two of you and thank you.
I made this in my Dutch oven on the stove with half ground round and half top sirloin. It was the pure essence of chili, simple, tasty and spicy! Happy New Year 2023 Cowboy Kent, God bless.🐕🐶🐺
Chili is one of my favorite foods! I like using a variety of dried chilis. And I always add beans, I love beans. I grew up super poor too, having huge bags of dried beans just feels normal, and it’s super sensible. I made chili and cornbread last night, my teenager ate half a pan of cornbread! This looks really good, and I love the cast iron tips.
Fantastic recipe and production Kent. I just Sub'd. I'm a British Soldier retired Down Under in Oz and live in my old Homestead with the good Wife. Shoot, fish and grow my own food where i can and spend a lot of our time overland travelling off road 4x4. Your recipes are going to be added to my "Outback Chef" go to Camp Meals. Looking forward to checking your back catalogue of work and what comes next. All the best Moose.
Just watched my 1st video of you and was really impressed. You not only teach good fundamentals of cooking but the why and the reasons behind why people cooked the way they did that's a good thing for everyone to know. You get it, from one cowboy to another you got it sinched. God Bless you.
God bless you, Kent. I don't understand how anyone could give a thumbs down on that video. I love watching your stuff, and wish you, and yours nothing but good. Thank you for your efforts, god bless, and thank you for the ideas and the recipes.
I found an old chili recipe in an Aunt Bee's Cookbook a while back when I was in the Navy in my early 20's. I thought it was so good that I adopted it as my own. I would make a big batch and invite my Navy friends over. They loved it. It is very similar to this!
Howdy Kent! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for a wonderful recipe my family enjoyed this evening. Mind you, I cook for my fiance every single night and rarely do I ever get the reaction I got tonight. I dont enjoy cooking as much as others, mainly because I never make anything spectacular or worth trying again, I grew up poor as well and I make simple food. Tonight was different, I felt like making my fiance and kids a good dinner, but I didnt know exactly what. I took a look in the fridge and freezer for what I got and find frozen ground sirloin and start scratching my pretty little head for dinner ideas that would include ground sirloin. Then bingo, chili. We hadn't had chili in years. So there I go, searching RUclips for a good chili recipe and I skim through a few and come across yours twice, reading comments to see what others had to say. So I choose your recipe and I followed every step and used the original chipotle instead because I didnt know I have to order through you for your special chipotle. Anyhow, my fiance could smell my cooking and kept asking when it would be done and that the house smelled so good. So once it was done I then fixed him a bowl, as well as the kids and had him take a sit and and he zoomed through saying grace to the lord, so he can hurry on up for a taste and oh. My. Word. I felt so happy for the first time in a long time he kept on complimenting the food I made! He kept going for seconds! Thirds! Until It was wiped clean from the pot! This was a rare event in my house. We've been together for 5 and a half years. Kent, thank you for such an amazing recipe. This chili is to die for. June 2, 2019
I've been using this recipe to make venison chili with my canned venison. Its so delicious. I use black beans instead of kidney. Tonight I got a little crazy and added some ribs from a rib roast that had been cut off the roast and I grilled them and then froze them. I threw 3 ribs in there, bones and all. I let the whole thing simmer for a few hours. Hitting those chunks of beef was amazing. Well, then I added elbow macaroni and garnished with sharp cheddar cheese, onions, and crema. I'm currently in a chili coma. It was just incredible.
Thanks for the inspiration.! Chile sounds great. I had to LOL about cooking beans in cast iron. Yep, been there done that and they were so black the chickens wouldn't eat them. As alway thanks for sharing...
Really? So it's the bean's fault? You put him to fend for himself in a soup of savory characters and plus you neglect him, and then you stereotype him when he retaliates and ruins the neighborhood? Maybe you should have given the bean what he needed to survive in that hostile environment YOU EVER THINK OF THAT?!!!
Great recipe Kent I also prefer kidney beans in mine,I also add chunk chuck roast,ghost pepper and a touch of bourbon,it also should be a major food group
I get the ingredients and then have my kids watch your videos and cook dinner and they are becoming wonderful chef and I get great dinners! Thanks for what you do and keeping your language clean!
I work at a middle school and we did a chili cook off. My family convinced me to make your recipe and enter it (they love your recipe and always want me to make it). So I made it and entered and won first place. So in a couple of weeks I have to work in a concession stand for two days. Our building principal asked me to make the chili so we can sell bowls of it for the event we are having since they loved the chili so much.

Chili over spaghetti or really any pasta is good, too.
I like really spicy ass chili
My family is filipino and naturally we add rice to a bunch of stuff -- my favorite has always been with chilli

Ghostfather mmm black eyed peas
I've used black beans with buffalo meat, white beans with chicken, pinto, red or kidney with beef. It's all good to me.
I like a diversity
Chicken chili is good eatin' that's a fact
Good tip.....I'm going to use that. Although, I haven't done chicken in my chilli....I like the way your think
Can you cook with a cast iron dutch oven, in a BBQ smoker (Green Egg). If so , how hot can you get it?
I did not know about not cooking waterbased soups in one.
You are my Go-to-guy when it comes to cast iron.
as long as theirs beans im good
I like to use beef and pork cook with onions 1-3/4 in weight and cook it tender 3-4h reduce the jus and pour on some water and reduce it againover and over again for the flavor some kidney beans, corn, tomatos and a mix of sweet pepper and habanero, spices I use a bit thyme,marjoram, tarragon garlic and salt.
serve it with some bread rolls. greatings from austria btw :)
I haven't had much interest in cowboys or their history and culture and traditions but this cowboy has changed that, not just with the accent but the character is almost separate from person. I'm subscribed now.
So glad I came across your site Mr, Kent! I like be when you were in food network competition. It’s one of their few episodes I will view repeatedly.
Your gentle but robust style is pure enjoyment for my husband’s & my old gray heads 👵🏻👴🏻

Best cooking show ever!
You’re what America desperately wants to be, Kent.
Absolute facts. Americans nowadays have such a high percentage of depression in young folks because we are weighed down by the chains of consumerism. Too many
People WANT but CANT be self sufficient, self helping and soulful people like cowboys are. The true Golden Age of the American People

Just won another chili cool off with this recipe, timeless stuff cowboy thank you!
I've been searching for the perfect chili recipe and this is it. I've made several other recipes and never cared for them. This is by far hands down the best. I will say after the first time making it I did love it but I wanted it a touch more watery so I add about 3rd cup of beef broth
Just came across this video , as a Texan, I’m loving this so far! Love his accent too lol “RO-TELL” my man! Lol

Mr. Rollins, love the channel, your demeanor, the love of country that you have, the love of the military( I especially like that) and also the love of God. Thank you for what you do and your testimony!
Thanks Scott for watching
COWBOY KENT! I entered your chili into my husband's chili cook off at work today and .....WE GOT #1 !!!!!! Thank you for sharing your recipe. God bless ❤
I made this Chili last night, and it was the best Chili I have ever eaten, I used the Cowboy Chutney I bought on the Chefs online store!
I made this yesterday with the omission of beans for certain reasons, and it was phenomenal! I live with a Mexican family, and after I served them a bowl they were incredibly pleased with how spicy it was. They said they were glad it was so spicy because they hate mild chili. Later on, they heated some more up and made themselves chili burritos lol I wrote this recipe down and placed it in my personal cookbook. 10/10 will make again!
So glad you enjoyed
Why did you omit the kidney beans?!?

Love chilli i put dark chocolate in my chilli baked beans and kidney make a big pan of it then put it in tubs and freeze just take it out when i need it .
Love it
I keep hearing about this chocolate in chili!? What does it do for the chili?
WIsh I was there with a pile of cornbread and a big mason jar filled with ice tea. I could almost smell that chili through the computer screen. That looked so good. I am sure you all ate well after that chili was made. Compliments and thanks for the recipe share from you and Shannon.
Our pleasure Thomas
I'll eat the chili. However, no iced tea for me! No, thank you!
From a Chili efficianado, I can honestly say I love this and most chilis. I mean, I LOVE chili. I have made chili recipes from 'round the world. Chili dogs, chili & eggs, chili n tamales, chili burgers, chili pie, frito pie, Yankee chili mac, even chili cheese pizza. I awoke one night to visions of sundae glasses filled in layers with chili, refried beans, more chili, sour cream and guacamole, chili again, covered in Cheddar cheese sauce--all pieces chopped to pass through a straw! Shoot! Just two weeks ago my wife and I drove three and a half hours one way to San Antonio just to have chili from Texas Chili Parlor. Gospel truth, that right there.
And, Sir... I have watched you for a long time. I've stolen many ideas from you. I appreciate you immensely.
Albeit, chili...
Real cowboy chili...
Texas Cowboy Chili...
...simply ain't got no beans.
Real Texas Cowboy Chili is made with whole cubed meat (preferably brisket), just a few flavor ingredients including either strong coffee or Shiner Bock beer, simmered for at least four hours.
You receive automatic forgiveness, though, no penance necessary; you ARE from Oklahoma, after all. A man can't help where he's born. This is not a complaint. Just an as is.
Californian here. You sound just like my old coworkers back in Texas. I used to give em Hell about their different cooking style when it came to BBQ but it wasn't that bad. I almost liked brisket by the time I moved back to the Golden State. Tri-Tip is still better but hey I can't fault you on it. They didn't even sell that cut of meat in Kerrville. The whole time I lived there though, I never once saw a single bowl of this famous Texas Chilli. I even went to a chilli eating contest where they did NOT SELL ANY CHILLI 😮💨. Anyways, God bless you all down there. Especially now
@warrenpeace8304
Everything you say is gospel--Texas gospel. I did not originate here but, as a result of a career move of my wife landing us in the Permian, am a transplant from a state that will remain nameless, though is one that truly should fall into the ocean and whose initials might be similar in spelling to that Leftist unionist pustual known as Illinoizzz. Upon being forced to move here due to my wife's career, my expectations for Texas Red knew no bounds. But, alas, upon my first visit, when looking for homes, we were awestruck by our inability to find even one restaurant serving chili. When asking, literally everyone we met, we were invariably told to try Wendy's, or to pic up some Wolf brand at H-E-B. It took a while we eventually hit pay dirt. In retrospect, finding good Texas chili in Texas was exactly like trying to find a real, true-to-the-gospel, Bible-believing, uncompromising, running-at-Jesus, church within the Bible belt--all talk and no show, all bark and no bite, rare as hen's teeth. We eventually found both, chili and church, both in West and Southeast, Texas.
Anecdotally...
Honest truth: we went to Terlingua, the self egrandized, self proclaimed, world's number one chili Cook-off and, exactly as you say, could not procure even one spoonful of Red. Texas is great; we've made it home and learned to love it. But, all said, Texans can be big talkers with, in many respects, absolutely nothing to back it up. In fact, just switch those vowels and you have a more accurate idea of Texas (Taxes?).
Would love a bowl of Kent's Chilli, a few beers and a good ole chat by big bertha....
Sounds like a good day to me

I entered this recipe in a local chili cook-off yesterday and placed 2nd out of 15 contestants!! I added 1 tbsp of liquid smoke since the weather kept me from cooking outdoors. This is some delicious chili Kent thanks for sharing!
We are honored and congratulations, glad you enjoyed
Congrats man👍👏 that's a hell of a podium finish out of 15👏
You sir cook Amazin I grew up in the city but loved visiting my family in the country there's no beating the life style and the peace of the country and the food
Thank you Jonathan so much for watching
Seriously how do you not love Cowboy Kent?? First saw him on Chopped and have been a fan ever since!
Thanks so much for watching me on chopped
I’ve made this like 20xs , I don’t even need to look at the directions anymore, so good
I'm a long time fan and I've been waiting years to try this recipe, well today 26/1/22 I have eaten the best chilli I've EVER tasted. It took me so long to find all the original ingredients hear in the uk at a reasonable price but I have enough to make this 10 times over now.
Thank you kent, shan and the fur babies for all you do. We really do appreciate it.
Take care and God Bless

What meat did you use m8?
@@T0mm3n mince beef
@@Joey-cz8il Nice, I'm gonna make it too
I just realized that what you know as chili, in Mexico it's frijoles charros, rancher beans or cowboy beans. We ad beacon ham and pork rind. we don't add Chipotle but now I'm trying it l for a change.
I’m currently waiting for my chili to be done using your recipe😁 with a side of your cornbread recipe too. Can’t wait to feed my wife and son and get a cowboy dance out of them. Thanks Kent! From our family to yours
I have used beans and no beans and I like chili with beans! I use two cans of beans
I started making chili 2 years ago, and have loved making them. My recipe has now received a huge upgrade, thanks to Kent.
Made this today. I added only 1TBSP of chili powder instead of the 1/3 cup the recipe calls for. The end results was so easy and delicious. I will definitely make this recipe again.
Cowboy Kent and lovely Shannon, I made this for my parents (one recipe with beef for Dad, one with Beyond 'meat' for Mom) and it is now my Mom's FAVORITE thing to eat. She is an incredibly picky eater but she absolutely loves this (as does my Dad, only he prefers his beef)! Thank you so very much!
Beans are a must!
Kent Rollins and Sam the cooking guy made me start cooking 🔥 love these channels
Thanks Martin for watching
It's the annual chili cookoff/trunk or treat at church this weekend so I felt I needed to review your classic chili recipe before starting up my entry to the competition. Love you guys and I am always happy to see a "new" video.
You did real good. You let that simmer long enough for everybody to get to know each other. Just so you know I took third place in a chili cook-off in a field of about 50 people. It was a lot like the way you just did it.
I made your chili today. As I write this it is in the crock pot. I followed your recipe, but I did dial back the chili powder to 1/2 cup. I pulled four chipotle peppers out of the can and sliced them up, and I sprinkled salt and about four turns of a pepper mill over the beef/onion mixture before adding the spices.
I sampled the chili after about 30 minutes in the crock pot that was set to Warm (it's now set to Low).
All I can say is WOW! It is outstanding!!
I will definitely be making this again. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Love this guy. So authentic. And fun to watch. Love how he said God Bless to every each and one.
Thanks for watching and God bless you
I’ve made this several times, it’s the best chili I’ve ever had.Thanks for the videos.
Glad you enjoyed
Hey Kent, I made your chili a couple of days ago, ( it's even better as left overs lol ) best chili ever. great taste with just a little bite. It's a little hot for the wife ( she's sensitive lol ) so I guess next time just 1 can of rotel. I did add 2 kinds of beans ( kidney and chili ) This is my go to chili recipe from now on. God Bless
I’ve had this recipe and its very very good. In fact I just ordered 3 jars of his relish. Which I also use in his recipe for refried beans. Folks, just try it, you won’t regret it. This is great stuff! Thank you Cowboy Kent, his wife and I couldn’t forget his quality control pup!
Thank you Buck for watching
This reminds me of a Funny Story. Years ago I used to make chili. I lived in a boarding house. My rent was $35 a week. That was the good old days. We all had kitchen privileges. Well here's my story. I like spicy food. So when I made chili. I dumped a whole jar of salsa in it. The funny part is how the salsa kept my roommates from partaking in my food. It was too spicy for them and set them on fire. But I liked it more for me. Well that's how you keep the freeloaders out. You make your food so spicy they can't handle it. Now that I'm older. I don't set the chili on fire like I used to. Hope you enjoyed the story have a nice day keep up the good work Shannon and Kent. You spoke of cheese on top of your chili. Have you ever thought of sprinkling parmesan cheese on it.
I have used Parmesan and it is good, I like shredded pepper jack as well, and good advice about the free loaders. Thanks for watching
Cowboy Kent Rollins God bless you folks. And keep posting these great videos.
well if you aren't wholesome, then I don't know what is.
LOL!! I did the same thing to keep my brother from eating my share!!
Pat Lowney I’m no stranger to your “too hot for freeloaders” trick. I also use it on my Thai food. It has, however, backfired once or twice.......fried my own tongue.
Made this recently for a chili cook off at my work and won! The only difference is I used bison, bacon, and beef for the meat and it was glorious!😁😍
Congrats and so glad you enjoyed
Haven’t found my favorite chili recipe....until today.
Made this with left over pulled pork in my new cast iron dutch oven and man, is my soul happy. Happy 2021 y’all.
I'm making a batch tonight myself! Happy 2021!
I'm making it now, but in my crockpot! (A dutch oven is still on my wish list) lol My kitchen smells heavenly 😋
@@laurasimmer9612 Nice. This was super good. Definitely keeping it in the dinner rotation.
Chili was a staple for a mom & five boys. I use three different types of beans & since I live in town I fry up 80-20 ground Chuck/Italian sausage, add spicy tomatoes& tomato paste. Cook in the crock pot for several hours & Cowboy it’s a throw down! Love your videos!
Kent is the man. I just listen to him as background noise at work. I promise lol.
Thanks Al so much
A little something extra my mom and grandma always added was about 1/4 cup of baking cocoa to their chili. It brings out a different taste but doesn't cover the spices. Only other thing we'd have along with our chili was a toasted cheese sandwich!
Wow this is a great tip adds a nice warmth and depth to it
that sounds bomb
Brought this recipe to the family chili competition and won with it. This chili is sooo good!
Thank you sir for your time and the great video! I'm 82 and have been making Chilli for many years and I think mine is good but your's looks better! I intend to try your recipe very soon. Thanks again and God bless you and your work.👍👍
Hope you enjoy
Seriously how can you put a dislike to a video where somebody is teaching you the good old cooking somebody please enlighten me
Do you know why I don't eat at applebee's or chili's anymore? Because I'm old enough to micro wave my own food.
Damn they got some godly microwaves.
Only a few fast food restaurants are good to eat at. Chili’s, Applebee’s , etc. are exactly that: microwave crap or frozen, then fried. Don’t get me wrong, I like some fast food places that many consider trash or not much above dog puke, but, that’s just me. I enjoy finer things in life, also.
There’s absolutely nothing better than fresh or semi-fresh ingredients to make a meal extraordinary, plus, the pride of a job well-done.
It's impressive that they can hoodwink people into going to microwave resturaunts when even Burger King and Taco Bell have food that's better and fresher than microwaved.
@Lucas Stidman you got me there
@@cm01 if you think taco bell has better food than chilis, thats concerning.
I make chili differently every time. But it always tastes like a good chili. I taste as I go and there's never a disappointment. Now I have to buy some of Ken & Shannon's Green Chili Chipotle Relish! I bet that would be good on Huevos Rancheros!
Mister Rollins I work in a very stressful occupation and there are days I just come home and I'm completely worn our physically and mentally. But I have been watching your youtube videos for some time now and it greatly helps me. I just wanted to let you know that you help in more ways then showing me how to make some killer biscuits and gravy. God bless the two of you and thank you.

to put in a watery chili. They turned out great.😉

I made this in my Dutch oven on the stove with half ground round and half top sirloin. It was the pure essence of chili, simple, tasty and spicy! Happy New Year 2023 Cowboy Kent, God bless.🐕🐶🐺
Chili is one of my favorite foods! I like using a variety of dried chilis. And I always add beans, I love beans. I grew up super poor too, having huge bags of dried beans just feels normal, and it’s super sensible. I made chili and cornbread last night, my teenager ate half a pan of cornbread! This looks really good, and I love the cast iron tips.
Fantastic recipe and production Kent. I just Sub'd. I'm a British Soldier retired Down Under in Oz and live in my old Homestead with the good Wife. Shoot, fish and grow my own food where i can and spend a lot of our time overland travelling off road 4x4. Your recipes are going to be added to my "Outback Chef" go to Camp Meals. Looking forward to checking your back catalogue of work and what comes next. All the best Moose.
Thanks my friend and be safe
Greetings from ole Blighty! You have earned your place in Oz sounds idyllic Happy New Year 🥂🇬🇧
Just made this tonight and it was some of the best chili I’ve had in a long time! Thanks Kent! And Shan and the dogs of course!
lovely old man definitely one of my most favorite videos
Just watched my 1st video of you and was really impressed. You not only teach good fundamentals of cooking but the why and the reasons behind why people cooked the way they did that's a good thing for everyone to know. You get it, from one cowboy to another you got it sinched. God Bless you.
"Now some people put sour cream on it, but not me. I'm gonna eat it" Love his turn of phrase! And I like beans in chili, too.
I could eat this chili all year round! I’m watching this and the best chili is always homemade in a cast iron pot
I can't lie, you're chili is almost exactly like mine. Love all the way from the mountains of WV.
Spring has sprung, fall has fell, summer is here and it's hot as ever.
That is a great looking chili recipe. It is getting cooler out and that will warm anyone up.
For sure Dwayne
I've made this a couple of times with different meats and it's fantastic. Thank you for sharing your chili recipe Kent!
Glad you enjoyed it
Ask 10 people how to make perfect chili and you'll get 25 different opinions.
That is so true
YEP ... Just like the man done said at the front of the vid.
Dead right! Opinions are like ar*eholes,.... Every bugger's got one!!
Everyone has their favorite recipe. I love that. No two bowls are the same
At least twenty five opinions
God bless you, Kent. I don't understand how anyone could give a thumbs down on that video. I love watching your stuff, and wish you, and yours nothing but good. Thank you for your efforts, god bless, and thank you for the ideas and the recipes.
I found an old chili recipe in an Aunt Bee's Cookbook a while back when I was in the Navy in my early 20's. I thought it was so good that I adopted it as my own. I would make a big batch and invite my Navy friends over. They loved it. It is very similar to this!
Fred thanks for your service and for watching
Personally, I love chili as a dip for tortilla chips, with cheddar cheese and sour cream mixed in.
I always go with stew meat or a roast, cubed. It's the way to go in a chili to me.
your personality is incredible 💚
Thanks so much
You'd think I would learn NOT to watch your videos on an empty stomach. Always enjoy your videos and the recipes that you show us. Thanks ...

Howdy Kent!
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for a wonderful recipe my family enjoyed this evening. Mind you, I cook for my fiance every single night and rarely do I ever get the reaction I got tonight. I dont enjoy cooking as much as others, mainly because I never make anything spectacular or worth trying again, I grew up poor as well and I make simple food. Tonight was different, I felt like making my fiance and kids a good dinner, but I didnt know exactly what. I took a look in the fridge and freezer for what I got and find frozen ground sirloin and start scratching my pretty little head for dinner ideas that would include ground sirloin. Then bingo, chili. We hadn't had chili in years. So there I go, searching RUclips for a good chili recipe and I skim through a few and come across yours twice, reading comments to see what others had to say. So I choose your recipe and I followed every step and used the original chipotle instead because I didnt know I have to order through you for your special chipotle. Anyhow, my fiance could smell my cooking and kept asking when it would be done and that the house smelled so good. So once it was done I then fixed him a bowl, as well as the kids and had him take a sit and and he zoomed through saying grace to the lord, so he can hurry on up for a taste and oh. My. Word. I felt so happy for the first time in a long time he kept on complimenting the food I made! He kept going for seconds! Thirds! Until It was wiped clean from the pot! This was a rare event in my house. We've been together for 5 and a half years. Kent, thank you for such an amazing recipe. This chili is to die for.

Thanks for watching and so glad everyone enjoyed, keep cooking and spreading the love of cooking
The cowboy chili was the bomb! I made it for my mom and family.
I've been using this recipe to make venison chili with my canned venison. Its so delicious. I use black beans instead of kidney. Tonight I got a little crazy and added some ribs from a rib roast that had been cut off the roast and I grilled them and then froze them. I threw 3 ribs in there, bones and all. I let the whole thing simmer for a few hours. Hitting those chunks of beef was amazing. Well, then I added elbow macaroni and garnished with sharp cheddar cheese, onions, and crema. I'm currently in a chili coma. It was just incredible.
Thanks for the inspiration.! Chile sounds great. I had to LOL about cooking beans in cast iron. Yep, been there done that and they were so black the chickens wouldn't eat them. As alway thanks for sharing...
Our pleasure Larry
“One burnt bean will ruin a pot of chili”
I can attest to that sir!
Really? So it's the bean's fault? You put him to fend for himself in a soup of savory characters and plus you neglect him, and then you stereotype him when he retaliates and ruins the neighborhood? Maybe you should have given the bean what he needed to survive in that hostile environment YOU EVER THINK OF THAT?!!!
Thats 2 of us!!!
Great recipe Kent I also prefer kidney beans in mine,I also add chunk chuck roast,ghost pepper and a touch of bourbon,it also should be a major food group
Sounds so good
I get the ingredients and then have my kids watch your videos and cook dinner and they are becoming wonderful chef and I get great dinners! Thanks for what you do and keeping your language clean!
