I'm so happy to hear the news on the potluck. I know your chili will be a hit!!! Let me know how it turns out and please don't forget to checkout some of my other great recipes. Thanks!!!!
i made a chili recipe that called for stout, cinnamon and chocolate.....i ate a little and threw the rest away it came out so nasty. i think its def. an aquired taste not for everybody
@@corsicanlulu i think you may have put in too much chocolate - it has to be dark and no sugar. it adds an interesting note that bring out the chilli. i use 70% dark cacao
Hi Tammy! Thanks for the awesome compliment...I haven't tried it yet in my spaghetti, but I'll definitely be giving it a try now. Hope you'll subscribe and look forward to bringing more recipes your way!
Hello good sir, First off, i love the laid back vibe of the video. The recipe looks very nice and i will definitely try to make this! If you don’t mind i would like to give you some tips to enhance the flavor and make the cutting part a bit safer. If you put a thin wet cloth under your cuttingboard before you start chopping, it will keep it in one place. So you’ll reduce the chance of cutting your fingers. If you fry the beef in a separate pan and in smaller batches you’ll get what is called the “maillard reaction”. Aka the caramelization of the sugars in the beef, which equals to a deeper flavor in the end result. Same goes for the tomato paste, which has a pretty high acidity level if you don’t expose it to direct heat. So if you add it to the vegetable mixture before you add your liquids, you end up with a more rounded flavor overall. Best of luck with the channel and i wish you a good day!
Hey Martijn B- let me start off by saying thanks for your well wishes and kind compliments as well as your tips. I never grow tired of learning new techniques - as well as tips for my safety ; ) - that will also enhance my recipes. I hope you will subscribe to my channel, as I look forward to bringing you more great recipes, while receiving more of your great feedback! Your friend, Big D
Hey Dan I appreciate the compliment and am happy to hear that you enjoyed the chili recipe. Please keep watching and I'll keep choppin! (hopefully just the onions and other veggies). ; )
Hi JB! Sorry for the late reply... I simmer my chili with the lid off, stirring frequently. With this method, I will generally have to add a bit of water or beef broth to it as the chili thickens. If you decide to get off the path I've paved and throw a lid on it...no worries nothing should happen that will cause you any great angst, but I would keep an eye on it- so it won't burn and stir frequently. Hope this helps and please enjoy the chili. Be sure to check out all of my other great recipes! Thanks, BD
Dear Mr. Walsh thank you so much for your astute attention to detail as it is important when one is in the midst of preparing a new recipe. I hope you have subscribed to my channel, as I appreciate your valuable input and guiding others with new recipes here at BDLK! Keep up the great work! Best regards, Big Daddy
Hey Ian- thanks for asking...cocoa helps balance out the spiciness as well as add richness to the flavor-making the chili more savory. As far as adding cinnamon...I accidentally did that with some taco meat years ago thinking it was chili powder...I'm still reminded of that incident to this day...so as far as cinnamon goes...I wouldn't suggest it, but if you decide to give it a go, let me know how it goes. Regards, Big D
I have been making chili like this for years! This includes the cocoa powder. I also add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, it helps quite a bit in the heat and flavor department. I learned about the cocoa powder and cinnamon from my Mexican neighbors while my wife was stationed at Fort Hood, Texas.
John, sounds like to me you're no stranger to great tasting chili. I hope you will subscribe to my channel and perhaps I still have a trick or two that I can share (or you can share with me) since you've got this one! As always, keep the feedback coming! I love to hear it!
Chili isn't from Mexico. It is from Texas. Chili doesn't have cocoa or cinnamon. It also doesn't have tomatoes. KUDOS! for knowing it doesn't have beans.
Thanks for your recipe. Looking forward to trying it. May I suggest; think about getting yourself a good wood cutting board and using the spine of your knife to scrape food. Your knives will thank you for it! “And may the odds be ever in your favor.”
Let me start off by saying thanks for trying my recipe. I certainly hope you enjoy it. As far as your suggestions, I can't agree with you more...I definitely need a large wooden cutting board and will start using the spine of my knives to scrape with- as it will save me time sharpening them day after day. Please make sure to subscribe and continue checking out my videos to ensure not only quality, but to keep an eye out for any further shenanigans. Thanks again for helping me out and keeping the odds in my favor. Your friend, BD
Hey Carol, I hope you find this chili as delicious as I do. As far as adding the beans, if it works for you, there's no sin in that! Thanks for the comment-hope you will subscribe and try out more of my recipes!
Don’t leave out the jalapeños! Remove the seeds. That is where most of the heat comes from. But jalapeño adds a subtle yet profound flavor to the chili.
BEANS BEANS???? the musical fruit, the more you eat the more you....thanks for the great question Richard! Beans are definitely an option that some love. If you love beans...throw in a can of kidney beans to bean it up * I like to rinse and drain them and then add them at everyone's request -seems to keep everyone smiling : ) Hope this helps
Hey thanks for the news... I didn't know he had one either! ; ) On a different note, I hope you've subscribed to mine cause I've got more great recipes headed your way. Thanks for the comment
Hey James- thanks a million for the compliment! Kidney beans, black beans, or pinto beans would all be great choices! (Beans I would not suggest: green, lima, coffee or magic... ; ) Hope this helps and please be sure to subscribe as I've got more "killer" recipes coming your way! Enjoy! Big D

Was the ground beef fat drained off after browning ?

Also, always cut peppers from the inside to avoid knife slipping. 😊
Hello sir! Wonderful chili recipe! I might suggest looking into some slightly less dangerous methods for cutting that onion though!
Hey Dan I appreciate the compliment and am happy to hear that you enjoyed the chili recipe. Please keep watching and I'll keep choppin! (hopefully just the onions and other veggies). ; )
My recipe is similar but i always add celery and 1/2 cup of red wine vinegar
looks so yummos but my family likes ours a little bit more chunky meaning the hamburg
Where do you buy the chili seasoning mix?
Carroll Shelby's or Wick Fowler's mix can be found at most grocery stores
im currently making it right now! cant wait... do i simmer with no lid or lid on tho?
Lid on
The recipe clearly says to simmer uncovered...
Hi JB! Sorry for the late reply... I simmer my chili with the lid off, stirring frequently. With this method, I will generally have to add a bit of water or beef broth to it as the chili thickens.

How come no cinnamon? What exactly does the cocoa do for flavor? Thank you!
Put it in yours.

Pro (amateur) tip here. Use the opposite side of the knife to move veggies off the cutting board! It dulls the blade.
I'm going to try this. I'm also going to go ahead and commit the cardinal sin of chili making by adding beans. 🙂
Hey Carol, I hope you find this chili as delicious as I do. As far as adding the beans, if it works for you, there's no sin in that! Thanks for the comment-hope you will subscribe and try out more of my recipes!
I love beans in mine too
why you add this beef concentate if you can boil meat and bones? what for this onion powder.... just onion
Don’t leave out the jalapeños!
Remove the seeds. That is where most of the heat comes from.
But jalapeño adds a subtle yet profound flavor to the chili.
TURN OFF LOUD MUSIC.
Salt, onion, and garlic are the only ingredients my TX chili has in common with yours.
No beans?
Not in Texas chili!
BEANS BEANS???? the musical fruit, the more you eat the more you....thanks for the great question Richard! Beans are definitely an option that some love.

To bean or not to bean....that is the million dollar question! Appreciate you watching, please stay tuned!
Cocoa for the win… anchovies are another
