Okay, so today, let’s talk about making chili. I tried out this David Cox’s chili recipe thing, and here’s how it went down.
First off, I gathered all the stuff I needed. You know, the usual suspects: ground beef, onions, some spices, and all that. I even grabbed a couple of different types of beans ’cause why not? I also decided to use broth instead of water to add some flavour. From what I read, it makes a difference.
Getting Started
So I started by browning the meat in a big pot. I made sure to not put the raw meat into the already cooked onion because a friend told me that it would ruin the dish. I cooked the meat until it was nice and brown, I added some spices to the meat as I read somewhere that it helps with the taste. Then, I chopped up an onion and tossed it in with the meat and cooked it all together.
Adding the Rest
After that, I dumped in the beans, the broth, and a can of diced tomatoes. I also threw in some chili powder, cumin, and a bit of garlic powder for good measure. Gave it all a good stir, brought it to a boil, and then turned down the heat to let it simmer.
The Waiting Game
This is where patience comes in. I let the chili simmer for a good hour or so. The longer it simmers, the better it gets, right? It’s like the flavors all melt together and get to know each other. I stirred it every once in a while, just to make sure nothing was sticking to the bottom.
The Final Result
Finally, after what felt like forever, the chili was ready. I ladled it into bowls, topped it with some cheese and sour cream because, well, why not? And there you have it, David Cox’s chili. It turned out pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. It was hearty, flavorful, and just what I needed on a chilly evening.
- It’s a simple dish, really.
- Just brown the meat.
- Cook the onions.
- Add everything else.
- Let it simmer.
- Enjoy!
It’s a perfect dish when you don’t want to try too hard but also want something satisfying. Hope you guys give it a go sometime. Cheers!
