    I love a good hot chilli - I have to make a vegetarian version for Tadpole though, so I will try the secret ingredient on that as well. BTW Ajwain seeds make veggie curry or chilli taste more "meaty" - but you only need a tiny half teaspoon or it gets "medicinal". Hugs, Lisa :)

    I use beer in my crockpot roast .. I was led to believe that it tenderizes the meat. Whatever, I loved the taste. I'll be trying the chilli recipe for our next gathering. I belong to a big family so the recipe you have here will be good to use. I'm stopping by to leave my blessing on this lens.

    I don't have the recipe off hand, but my wife and I have won our family's chili cookoff contest 2 years in a row with the "Jamaican Me Crazy" chili recipe on AllRecipes(dot)com. But we also add a beer and 1 serrano pepper to the recipe to give it a little extra heat. Check it out when you get a chance.

However, have you ever thought about adding BACON, ROUND STEAK, MUSTARD, & WORCHESTERSHIRE to the recipe? Just a thought?! I use that in mine!!! However, I love how you add the BUBWEISER at the end of the recipe, just before you start the simmering process!!! Can't wait to try it that way!! Thanks for the EXCELLENT TIP!!!! Susie G. (Chicago)

    Sadly, I have no ingredient but I'm so happy to have come here and discovered that I prepare the chili properly - certainly not as good as you do but not as an idiot either, lol. I just have to switch from Emmenthal and/or Gruyere to Cheddar - I'll do it, promised ;)

    Dom ... you know you have mentioned something quite important about cheese! You see, the choice of cheese would really MAKE the award-winning chili recipe the chef's special brand in that cheese is so unique as a topping ... and do NOT forget those onions too!

    Awesome! I love your idea of calculating the total cost. Lensrolling to my chilli pie. Thanks for sharing, Julie!

    Sounds delicious

    This is pretty similar to one I make all the time. I put tonnes of ground coriander and cumin in it - plus an awesome addition of a few pieces of DARK CHOCOLATE (adds bitterness). Mostly I make it vegetarian (because it's quicker and easier - you can mix it up on the stove and have it ready to eat in 5 minutes), but I love the meaty version too. I love it hot!

    For the perfect dinner, I serve it with corn chips, salsa, lettuce, tomato, avocado, canned corn, tortillas, sour cream, guacamole and grated CHEESE! :)

    I like mild chili, but I seem to prefer vegetarian to the beef.

    I like mild chili with not too many beans. I also mash my beans a bit.
    I've tried many versions but prefer Chili-O mix for seasoning.
    You really hit the nail on the head with the chopped onions and grated cheese.
    YUMMM!!! 5-fave-lensrolled to my food related lenses.

    Sounds great, I love good chili. (I might have to use my mom's trick of mashing the beans first) Some chilis have toooooo many beans for my taste.

    Looks good, I'd drop in for dinner but I have a huge pot of chili I made two days ago -- but it's going fast.

    That looks delicious. I just made a link to this lens on my new lens for pepper. Great!

    I used to add beer to my chili and somehow got away from it. Made this recipe and it was wonderful! I did add a couple of jalapeno peppers as we really like our chili HOT. Looks like the weather has cooled enough to make another batch. Thanks! Loved the lens and you great photos too!

    I have been looking for a good chili recipe. The one I use is one my mom gave me and it is pretty bland.
    I know beer really makes beef stew better so I would bet it is good for chili too.
  • partybuzz Oct 31, 2009 @ 7:07 pm | delete
    I've never heard of adding beer to chili, but I'm willing to try it! :-) Actually, my chili recipe is very simular to yours. My secret ingredient is taco sauce. I usually add it at the end, when you add your beer. Just use your favorite taco sauce (or salsa). I serve my chili with onions and cheese (like you) and tortilla chips or corn bread. So good on a cold winter's night!
  • 24websurf Oct 31, 2009 @ 3:39 pm | delete
    That's SOME kinda secret ingredient! Looks so good, Julie! Printing the recipe and keeping it in my best recipes cookbook.
  • Christine Oct 28, 2009 @ 7:31 pm | delete
    Going to try this recipe for guests this weekend! I will probably do a darker beer and add bacon. Can't wait!

    Temps are dropping rapidly. Nothing like a steaming hot bowl of spicy Chili this time of year. Pass The Pot!

    Excellent lens! This makes me hungry!! Blessed by a SquidAngel!

    Now, that looks really good! My stomach was already growling and now my mouth is watering. I love those onions and cheese on top of the chili. Yum!
  • wayfarer Oct 14, 2009 @ 5:19 pm | delete
    What a yummy lens! Chili sounds perfect for a bitter, cold day like it is today. Thanks for sharing!
  • SquidChris Oct 12, 2009 @ 2:33 pm | delete
    One of my favorite foods of ALL TIME is Chilli! I've never had any secret ingredients really, but maybe I will now!
  • JaguarJulie Oct 9, 2009 @ 7:12 am | in reply to lasertek | delete
    Thank you my dear for visiting! Glad you like the recipe -- it is a tasty one and I do hope you will try it. By the way, I have visited your lens more than once -- thanks for the invite -- may I suggest you create a second lens for me to visit? ;)
  • lasertek Oct 8, 2009 @ 8:15 pm | delete
    Interesting recipe! Will definitely try cooking one of these days. Thanks for sharing your secret ingredient.

    Do visit my lens if you got the time. Thanks again.

    I make vegetarian chili, but this looks great! I'll try to find Joan of Arc beans for my next batch. Blessed and featured on my Squid Angel Diary this week.
  • KonaGirl Oct 1, 2009 @ 10:36 am | delete
    Julie, another fabulous lens! Love the look of it, and such an easy recipe that anyone can make. I'll bet it taste as good as it looks!

    I use tomato paste and whole tomatoes (canned if fresh aren't available) instead of tomato sauce and canned diced tomatoes. I always use fresh garlic and add fresh cilantro to the onion and cheese for the topping. If I can get it, I'll use Asadero and Chihuahua cheese instead of cheddar.

    5 stars for you, my luv! I don't have any cooking lens yet to lensroll you to, so I'll just join your faves until I do. Right now I'm working on all the Halloween stuff.

    Aloha,
    KonaGirl - June

    chili is so great on cold evenings - serve it up with some homemade cornbread - ahh...
  • Spook Sep 19, 2009 @ 3:04 pm | delete
    Congrats on your achievement. Iffen you could do this for me sometime I'd be pleased and I also understand you will get the'iffen.'
  • kiwisoutback Sep 17, 2009 @ 1:43 pm | delete
    This looks like a great chili. Whenever I make it, I have container after container of frozen leftovers. My favorite thing to do is to put them on hot dogs with cheddar - but you'll get full after just one of them. Squid Angel blessed!
  • Dave L Sep 14, 2009 @ 3:00 pm | delete
    I add a little cinnamon sugar to counter the acidity of the tomato sauce. I also add diced tomatoes and stout beer. I grow jumbo cayennes which I use instead of dried. I also use a mix of kidney beans and pintos.

    Congrats on your win.
  • flipflopnana Sep 11, 2009 @ 8:41 am | delete
    I was just making my grocery list, guess what I am adding? Thanks!
    Congrats on first place!

    This chili looks very good. Mine is better, of course. Unfortunately, my secret ingredient is so secret that I have forgotten what it is. No cigar for me but a blessing for you, Julie. :-)
  • Ramkitten Jul 29, 2009 @ 11:13 am | delete
    I don't have a recipe to share or a secret ingredient ... but I wanted to say congrats on first prize! I would have been in a dead heat for last, I'll bet. The only chili I've made has been over a campfire in a cast iron kettle with a really basic recipe. Which actually makes me revise what I just said--my secret ingredient is the campfire part. Something about cooking and eating outdoors, sitting around a crackling fire with the stars twinkling and the comfortable summer night air makes my chili taste fab! :)

    Hum....beer in the chili...I never thought about that one.
    I'll have to give it a try.

    Down in the Keys on Super Sunday, my chili had the first run (on). The neighbors from New York always brought me deer meat for the occasiion and it certainly scored that day.
