SECRET FIRESIDE CHILI



Secret Fireside Chili image

One of my coworkers shared his secret chili recipe with me. Whatever you do do not share it with anyone, ok??? I grew up with kidney beans in the chili ...... I hated beans until I tried this chili with actual chili beans. This chili is great for chili dogs, over noodles or just topped with a little shredded cheddar cheese. I have an option written in the instructions for a tamer version for the weaker of heart.

THE BEST FIREHOUSE CHILI

A friend gave this recipe to me and she got it off the internet as it was very similar to her husband's chile who happens to be a fire man. Refrigerate over night in pot before eating. Not essential, but I think it tastes better, as all of the ingredients blend and meld together nicely.

FIREHOUSE CHILI

This is an excellent chili recipe. My husband is a chili lover and requests this about once a week in the Winter. It's a little on the hot/spicy side but you can adjust the amount of seasonings if you want it milder. I like to serve this with cornbread muffins and/or crackers. (Estimated prep time. Although it calls for cooking the chili 2 hours you can cook it on low for several hours).

THE ULTIMATE FIREHOUSE CHILI RECIPE



The Ultimate Firehouse Chili Recipe image

I saw this recipe online some four or five years ago, modded it each time that I made it, and eventually came to the below listed version as my personal favorite. Seems as though it won some contest in California. Could be wrong on that, but that is all I remember. I love it. Maybe one of you all will like it too. Tips. The type of beer is up to you. The coffee, I use a dark roast or espresso. Decaf or regular, I just use what is around. Make sure not to use pickled red peppers. They need to be preserved in salt and water only. Preferably charred before being jarred. More details - please mince the poblanos and serranos, and rough chop the onion. Use an old, angry, bitter onion. I am serious.
