Yum, looks good.

That does look good ! Secret recipe ? :hmm:

Omg don’t publish the recipe!!!! If there is tomato or beans in it we will get an endless argument on the definition of ”˜Chili ”˜ :rotf:

Okay. Just as long as he got the venison in it. :wink:

looks like real tomato, bean and macaroni chili to me.....Bring on the Tums. :haha:

op:

Yes, you will. There is only one REAL chili recipe!! :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: And I just happen to have it!! :wink:

Don’t tell any one from Texas it will be North( Ok) vs South (Tx) all over again :haha:

Actually, it's a Texas recipe from my great-great-grandpa, who worked up the chili recipe during the Civil War when he was a sergeant in the 22nd Texas Cavalry out of Hunt County and cooked for his company. He called it Texas Red. So, the recipe just migrated across the Red River, into Southwest Oklahoma and now to me in Northern Oklahoma. If it migrates any further north, it will be in Yankee hands. :surrender: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

Yankee :shocked2: Almighty God in Heaven forbid it.
My daddy grew up in Wisconsin and put macaroni in his chili to my undying shame. My Missiouri born wife caught the same sickness as a child.
With hat in hand I too admit that I have had chili over macaroni. And even worse I have had it over :redface: .....(whispered) rice.
:rotf:

All you need to do now is add a little vinegar or pickle juice to give it some tang.

I hear both my great-great-grandpa and my great-grandpa Christy rolling in their graves. Oh, the humanity.
:rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
If I were to ever put anything like macaroni or even beans in my chili, I would be condemned to Perdition for eternity!! :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
They took their chili seriously, to the point the recipe is to be kept in the family and handed down, generation to generation. It was written on an old piece of brown Kraft paper (I know, it sounds a little Hollywood, but it's the truth). I've already passed the recipe to my oldest boy. My other two boys will just have to whine and hope he let's them in on the family secret. :wink:
Fortunately, my oldest boy lives in central Texas now, so the recipe is back safe, south of the Red River.

Yup get some sourdough thick bread top with Hebrew National hot dogs, mix the Italian Mac in to the chili, pour over hot dogs top with English cheader cheese have with a dark German beer... fusion cook’n :grin:

Just don't forget the Cumin.

Most folks don't realize a lot of the flavor of fine chili is due to some Cumin being added to it while it's simmering.

Cumin is pretty strong so if your not used to using it in your chili, add a little bit and give it a taste test. Most likely it will need more so add some more but don't overdo it.

Like salt, it's easy to add but once done, it's impossible to remove.
