Macdaddy's Chili Recipe

Alright- it's Chili time,the wind has a slight nip to it, the weather is cooling off (my wife loves it, me-I hate it) I can't stand cold weather.

Standing outside in 20 degree weather trying to grill, freezing your @.. off, your better half asking "Honey when is it going to be ready?" with a smile, she better damn well be smiling, she's in the house, I'm the fool outside.
But anyway... I'm smarter than she thinks... why do you think I came up with a Chili Recipe... So I wouldn't be freezing my @.. off when it's cold outside... Baahahahaha...

Now some people say beans don't belong in the chili, they should be served on the side.
My saying is "different strokes for different folks"
I don't tell you how to fix" your" corn bread, I like beans in "my" chili... so there... get off me...


Here is my Chili recipe:

Macdaddy’s Chili


5 cans Ranch style Original Texas beans

1 can (1 lb. 12 oz) Del Monte diced tomatoes with garlic & onions

1 lb. ground beef

1 lb. ground sirloin

1 lb. ground country sausage (optional)
(You can substitute a small chuck roast-remove fat-cut into 1 in. cubes)

1 ½ lb. ground rib eye

1 or 2 cans Rotel chili fixins

1 pkg. McCormick Chili seasoning (hot or mild)

¼ tsp. Chipotle Chile pepper powder

¼ tbs. Mexican-Style chili powder

1 can of Modelo Beer (this is a Mexican beer)
I have used Bud or other beers but the taste is not the same as the Modelo.

¼ cup chopped onions

(Also optional – you can add a little Cumin and brown sugar)

In a large pot, put beans, tomatoes, Rotel, and ½ can beer. Heat slowly.

Meantime, brown sausage first. Drain, add to pot. (If not using sausage then just do the chuck the same way.)

Brown ground beef (do not drain), add chili seasoning, then lower the heat and simmer for 20 min. Add to pot.

Brown sirloin & rib eye, add Chipotle pepper powder and Mexican powder and onions, and the other half of the beer. Stir well and reduce heat and simmer for 20 min. Add to pot, mixing well.

Cook for 3 hrs on low heat, covered. Stir occasionally.

This recipe is a Macdaddy original. Enjoy.
