GEORGIA CHILI



Georgia Chili image

I have tried many chili recipes, trying to find one that suits our family's taste. This is it! I found this in my 1970 Southern Living cookbook. My family doesn't like spicey chili, so I only add 2 teaspoons of chili powder. I have noted my other changes in the ingredients. I leave out the shortening to cut the fat and we aren't big on a lot of celery in our food, so I cut it down to one stalk. This is the only chili that I make now. Prep time is approximate. Servings are generous, so you may be able to serve more than six with this recipe. I freeze leftovers.

GEORGIA CHAIN-GANG CHILI



Georgia Chain-Gang Chili image

I love chili. This one is certainly not traditional but sounds very interesting. Al most like a kicked up Brunswick stew. I plan to half it when I first make it. I also will use whatever chicken parts I have on hand. Received in an email from gourmet-recipes-from-around-the-world. Thanks, D M! There is a minimum 2 hour marinade time for the ground beef - can be done the day before & refrigerated.

  • Meal the oil in a large heavy pot. Add the onions and cook until they are translucent.
  • Meanwhile, drain the beef, straining and reserving the marinade. Mix the beef and pork together, then combine the meats with the ground chile, cayenne pepper, oregano, cumin, rosemary, and the rest of the salt. Add this meat-and-spice mixture to the pot with the onions. Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is evenly browned.
  • Add half the marinade, the reserved chicken, tomatoes, both tomato sauces, jalapenos, and 1 tablespoon of liquid hot pepper sauce to the pot.

  • Add this to the pot. Bring to a boil and simmer, uncovered, for at least 3 hours. When the chili is cooking, from time to time stir in the remaining marinade, the remaining Sauterne, and beer. If more liquid is needed, stir in the water the chicken was cooked inches Taste and adjust seasonings.
