Mello Chili:

 

It's not very hot, but easy and flavorful. It keeps the flair of chili but in an easy to tolerate format. Also, its easy as hell and makes the apartment smell awesome (or covers up some real funk)

Ingredients

  • 1-2 lbs beef roast
  • 1 Johnsonvilled Andouille Sausage
  • 1 Green or Orange Bell Pepper
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 tbsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 lbs Cream Cheese

Optional Toppings/garnish, etc

  • Sour Cream
  • Chives
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Shells or Macaroni Noodles

Directions

  1. Start with a 1/4" chop to the onion and fine dice to the Bell Pepper. 
  2. Cube the beef roast (about 3/4-1" cubes)
  3. Slice the sausage in half, lengthwise. Put each half on its side and halve it again. Make 1/4 - 1/2" dice of it.
  4. Throw the Onion, Pepper, Beef and Sausage into a crockpot.
  5. Add the spices (Chili Powder, Paprika and Cocoa Power)
  6. Drain then add the diced tomatoes 
  7. Mix all of the ingredients together
  8. Set on low for 6-8 hours (The longer the more tender the beef will become, and also gives the flavors a chance to marry.) 
  9. About 30-45 minutes before the timer finishes - Cube the Cream Cheese and add it to the Chili in the Crock Pot.
  10. *If you plan on having noodles, this is a good time to start cooking them.
  11. When the timer goes off, mix up the chili to incorporate the now melted cream cheese. 

 

Enjoy!

There is so much wrong with this I want to cry.

Sear your cubes in a wok or frying pan, otherwise they're going to lose moisture, form and flavour to the chili.

Sausages???!???,??

Consider ditching the chili powder and paprika for some variety of roasted chili peppers. More flavour, with the downside of longer prep to roast the peppers. Or roast/smoked chili powder.

Cream cheese???!!??!,??

Coincidence, I was going to make a pot of chili tonight:

-beef

-chili peppers

-beer

-salt, oregano, cumin

Sometimes I'll make it with tomatoes, onions, and beans, if I'm feeling adventurous.

Sometimes I'll serve all of the above over rice, with some cheddar on top, if I'm feeling whacky.
(I'm feelin' whacky tonite amirite)

"Fun" fact about paprika: paprika doesn't actually mean jack fuzzy bunny, at least according to the USA. Paprika officially means "red pepper". So, paprika powder fuzzing sucks, use real chillies. 

 

Also, holla at me about peppers, I grew and sold ~40 varieties of plants at my local farmers market for five years during high school and middle school.

Thank you for not defiling your chilli with beans...a common noob mistake when it comes to making real chilli and in Texas would be grounds for a hanging.

You are correct.
But also 'chili' with beans, while no longer chili, can still be good.

Come on Crafty, you have been officially called out on your lies. Your online reputation is at stake here, this is just like an old school street race running for pink slips. Its run what you brung and hope its enough. Put up or shut the fuzzy bunny up.
