I will send it, Primal Curve, and I will send it to anyone who asks. I just don't want to post his recipe on the Internet.

Oh, a little shredded cheddar cheese and sliced peppers really do well on top of this dish. Just FYI.

You made it but you haven't tasted it yet? Hmmm... have you now?
Kwea, it doesn't taste that much like coffee. I'm not a huge coffee drinker and I liked this chili. My wife hates coffee and she loved it.

As a passionate lover of coffee, I find it odd that so many people on this thread are maligning it. Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999

My father laughed when I went into the Army...he said that I would have no choice but to like coffee by the time I got out.
I did order coffee fairly often when I was in the field, but only becaue holding teh cup warmed up my hands on those cold, snowy MO winter mornings. Posts: 15082 | Registered: Jul 2001

We made (probably hideously inauthentic) quesadillos (sp?) last night with the some of the left-overs: I sandwhiched the chilli and grated cheese between two tortillas and dry fryed them until they were all crispy on the outside.
Served with home-made guacamole and sour cream.
They were gooood. Posts: 466 | Registered: Sep 2003

That's a chimichanga, sort of. A chimichanga is a deep fried burrito, but yours was in quesadilla form. I guess that makes it a chimichangadilla. And it sounds really good!

The Kama family greatly approves of PC's chili.
Hmm, Liz, did you maybe send me yours? I never got it, and I remember I had the same problem getting lusti'd carrot cake recipe. She sent it, and it never came. Anyway, could you pretty please send it to me at cammyk AT interia DOT pl ? This one should work fine.

This afternoon I made this chili and it was once again completely awesome. I recently got a very nice chef's knife that I love and was looking for a recipe with a decent amount of chopping involved.
I used only 3 cans of beans (2 dark red kidney and 1 black) and a bit extra of each type of meat. I think I will keep it that way from here on out.
Anyway, just wanted to remind everyone to make this chili!

I should send this recipe to my father-in-law, he loves making food with longer recipes, or lots of ingrediants

I think I will try this, as I have been thinking about it for a while now. I will go lighter on the beans, as my wife doesn't care for them though.
I'll let you know what we thought of it, although I hope you are right about the coffee taste not being strong, as we both HATE coffee.

I used to eat things cooked with alcohol, on the theory that the alcohol all cooked out, then I read something very convincing that said it really doesn't. I mean, there is a fairly substantial amount left, not trace amounts, in most dishes. So now I don't have coq au vin anymore or rum cake or kahlua truffles or whatever. Tasty but not non-alcoholic.
Vanilla flavoring, though, is fine. I guess there's really no way to keep the Word of Wisdom in a way that's completely consistent. Maybe that's the lesson we learn by grappling with these seemingly minor issues.
I'll say, though, that giving up caffeine was extremely wise for me to do, when I finally got around to it. I quit coffee and tea long ago, but diet cokes much more recently. With no caffeine intake at all I sleep much more deeply and peacefully, I wake more rested, and my fatigue-fibromyalgia-inflammation-etc. stuff is much less troublesome. Sometimes when I really need extra energy, for instance when I have to travel for work or if I'm sick and exhausted and must push on through, I can drink a diet coke or two and make it through. The trouble is then that I have to pay it back later. There is the inevitable crash, with withdrawal headaches and much rest required, to catch back up.

Off on a coffee tangent. The 'Words of Wisdom' say no hot drinks, and someone decided that was coffee and tea, but not necessarily caffeine. So...does that include ice tea and ice coffee? They certainly aren't hot drinks or strong drink. So, it would seem not to apply.

Tell you what, Anne Kate: use O'Douls and a cup of strong-brewed decaf and you should be able to purge any lingering guilt. Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999

I am glad this recipe resurfaced! I am going to make it today or tomorrow. I meant to back in, let's see, 2005(!) but never did.
I like a chili that is dark and rich, and this sounds like it. Lately, my favorite chili is actually the "Two Alarm Chili" you can find in the Mexican section of the store, along with taco mix. It is really good.

I've used that two alarm in my own recipe for a long time. Its a great seasoning packet, and almost always comes out as very tasty, easy to make chili.
I made this coffee/beer/chocolate chili a while ago, and everyone loved it.

It sounds interesting. I definitely don't have room in our refrigerator for such an enormous quantity of anything right now (and chiles are hard to acquire in NZ), but I might give it a try when I get back to the States in late March.
I've made sauces flavored with beer, and a few recipes flavored with coffee (usually desserts.) My general feeling is that beer, coffee (when not making something inherently coffee-flavored) and chocolate (when not making dessert) are somewhat unpredictable flavors; combining them is all but certain to make a flavor I'm not going to wrap my mind around before I actually sample it.
I'll have to get some meat-eating friends over to help consume the results, though. Posts: 3826 | Registered: May 2005
