THe NAC Lots-O-BFG KO2 Thread

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Here's what is in my 1st round of chili:

1.5lbs 93% lean ground beef
1/2 lb smoked sausage sliced thin
1/2 lb steak coarsely diced (would that be chopped?)
1 chopped onion (~1 cup)
1 chopped red pepper
2 garlic cloves (pressed, because I can)
3 chili peppers minced (~4 oz)
3 Tbsp Jalapeno peppers (minced) (turned out to be one whole pepper, but I have another in case I feel it needs more)
1 can (8oz) tomato sauce
1 can (14.5 oz) unsalted diced tomatoes
1 can (14.5 oz) baked beans (Campbell's Pork & Beans)
1 tsp salt
~1/2 tsp cumin (a little shy of 1/2 for now. Will add more as I see fit during cooking.)
1 tsp Montreal Steak Seasoning
~2.5 Tbsp Chili powder (leaning on the heavier side of 2.5)
1/3 tsp ground black pepper
half of a Left Hand Fade to Black

Note: Start ground beef browning before doing anything else. It saves time. Kinda like preheating the oven before you make the cake.

It's covered with saran wrap and in the fridge overnight. Going to cook on low all day.

Beans.

Why did you have to go and ruin it with beans.

All bets are off now...I have no idea what any of the proportions, spices, etc will do with a can of beans in the mix.

And yes, brown the beef and whatever before it goes in. Any fat tends to congeal on the surface when you're slow cooking.

The fridge also scares me, I've never done that. I'd rather leave it on low for 12 hours.

edit: I also use *much* more ground pepper, cumin, and Montreal. Mess with those til you find the right 'pop' mixture.

Beans are gross unless they are just baked beans by themselfs.

In a chili it sounds gross.

I'm working from home.

We easily have a foot here.

We have less than 8" here. And it's super light and fluffy crap. I'm screwed when I hit 93 :doh:

No idea how much we have here yet. But the snow is starting to block my windows (I'm in a basement apartment.) It's about halfway up them now.

I like beans. Maybe I'll decide I don't like beans in chili after this one. :dunno:

I covered it, so it won't dry out in the fridge. I convinced myself that it will all be ok.

Yeah, I didn't put in quite as much because I just wasn't sure what it would take. The baked beans are not going to add any spicyness, but they'll add sweetness and suck up the spice, so if anything I'll need extra spice. (I think...?)

Hard to say how much we've got. I think 8" or so but I could be wrong. The base opens at 11am... Trying to decide if it's worth going in. I wish I could telecommute.

I'm gonna order some gears from Morris4x4 if they take my gift certificates.

If they can't get Yukons, has anyone heard anything bad about Superior gear sets?

Not sure what brand bearings they use in their install kits either.
