Super Bowl Chili

My recipe for chili usually is a recipe for Kentucky pool hall chili buns that I read in Esquire magazine many years ago. See below.

My friends like this looser no-beans less-tomatoey chili. For tomorrow's Super Bowl party at Harry and Barbara's house, I decided to shake it up a bit. I made a similar chili recipe from Hilah Cooking. Hilah's recipe is intended usually to be a topping for chili dogs. I thickened it up a bit by using a coarse ground beef, instead of a fine-grind hamburger ground beef.

Here it is cooking.

The Super Bowl is tomorrow, so I iced the chili down. It'll sit, covered, in the refrigerator overnight, letting the flavors mingle. Tomorrow, we'll heat the chili in the slow cooker and bring it over to Harry and Barbara's house with some chopped onion, grated Mexican cheese, and a jar of pickled jalapeño slices. Here it is cooked and chilling.

Enjoy the game!
