Beans? Beans in chili is what comes from allowing yankees to come down here and live.
I find that if you're careful not to inhale the dust, it's easier to seed the chilies while they're still dry.
In my chili, I cube a little smaller, then don't cube again. After cooking, the meat is covered with a bottle of Guiness (or whatever you have). The malt in the beer really seems to bring the beef flavor forward.
Haven't tried making it with the dried pepper base, and I have a batch of them slumbering away in the pantry. May be time to wake them up.
Thanks for the recipe.
