We checked out the results of several chili contests and were surprised to see that Hormel canned chili scored high in several of them, even winning one.
You just open a can of Hormel chili and heat it.
I think the canned stuff is all right for slathering on a hot dog but not to serve as real chili.
Here a recipe for some real stuff that almost as easy as heating up a can of chili and would win a Texas contest. Try it. It a real treat on a snowy winter day.

Hey...yer talkin to a kid who was lucky to work for a week pre-dawn with those darn Washington Posts and get home with more than a couple of bucks, and that was definitely going towards paint for models or something like that.
I was not...er...”fiscally responsible”.
Oh it would add sweetness. That is what onions will do if prepared properly
It just seems odd and I prefer savory/hot.
Why not add icecream ;)
Well, you were just a kid at the time LoL
Most of the squids on the base weren’t fiscally responsible LoL
2-3 pounds fatty stew meat.
1 very large yellow onion, chopped.
Cumin, Chili powder, salt red pepper.
3 Jalapenos chopped. (Or habanero)
Crushed tomatoes
Can tomato sauce
2 tsp Daves Insanity sauce (if you want mild, omit this) Warning: Dave’s Insanity Sauce is a byproduct of Chernobyl and has the effect the next morning of a wood rasp.
Brown meat, add onion, cook till onion soft. Add everything else. Stir, turn down heat and cook for 2 hours.
Youre getting there.
Needs green peppers and use about 5 chiltepins in place of the insanity sauce.
I’m a lucky guy (I think...)
By the time I can retire at the age of 85, all television shows ever made will be viewable on demand for pennies.
I love the Simpsons, but I have probably seen a total of one episode (if you discount the movie) I just haven’t watched television since the mid-nineties, so...when I retire and can barely move, Ill be able to watch all this stuff for the first time.
Of course, there’s always the possibility my head will be made of cheese and I won’t be able to appreciate it.
I suddenly have a strange urge to visit Wendy’s
I forgot about cumin. Sometimes I put that in but more like 2-3 teaspoons not a third of a cup. I love the stuff but I can’t imagine that much not totally overpowering all other tastes. It’s part of my guacamole recipe too. About a 1/2 tspn per avocado.
REAL beef broth is also a good ingredient.
Not to salty though.
Hormel is a Homo also. I don’t buy Hormel...
Followed by, as Billy Crystal says: a "squat into a bowl of juice" That's too funny-a wood rasp!
Yeah I’m getting hungry here.
I also have this retirement plan.
It’s all I could afford.
I bet Obama has a case of the stuff LoL
Easy Chili:
1.5 lbs ground round
1 can Ranch Style beans (don’t drain)
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 can stewed tomatoes, pureed in blender
1 can Rotel (Mild, Regular, or Hot - your choice)
3 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic
1/2 teaspoon crushed basil
1/2 teaspoon pepper (I like Lawry’s Seasoned Pepper)
Cook ground round until done and drain.
Mix together all other ingredients and simmer for 20 minutes.
Excellent with cornbread that has been cooked in a skillet like pancakes and cheddar cheese.
Or Fritos and cheddar cheese.
I have to admit that while wendys breaks a lot of rules, their chili is darn good and cheap.
Dave Thomas was a genius.
I’ve come to the conclusion they will make us work until we drop in the harness.
If so, I’m gonna enjoy myself up until then. And that includes eating chili like yours and eating food with Dave’s insanity sauce on it.
My wife thinks I would prefer that stuff on my breakfast cereal in the morning.
It sure beats wearing diapers and eating oatmeal LoL
