Chili (not the person)

[Craizie]

Who's got some good no bean recipes? Having a cook off at work and am thinking of mixing it up with trimmed and cubed brisket. I usually do 1/2 chuck and 1/2 chopped up stew meat.

I had a great one in my golf bag Saturday morning. Damn the luck.

I'm for this, I will make and add to it. It just sounds right.

I cheat. It's a lot of work, but good, other than the Italian sausage. I replace it with good sausage.

And yes, it has beans. I've never tried it without them.

I've made that before, it was good but way too many ingredients.

Above recipe + a dash of brown sugar.

Instead of ground beef, go to your best bbq joint and pick up a pound or two of smokey sliced brisket and dice it up.

I do not approve..

Yup, or even some venison in there as well. I change it up pretty much every time.

We started using venison for everything and quit buying beef. I smoked a loin last weekend and it's damn delicious, almost as good as a cut of brisket.

Well, you're wrong. If you put beans in chili, you didn't make chili.... you made a pot of beans.

Without beans isn't it just a meat soup?

Beans are a filler food for poor people. If you can add beans, you can add more meat.
