I made some chilli

I made chilli for tea. It’s not something I’ve ever made before, and to be honest I havn’t had it more than 5 times, but for some reason I wanted to make some. I think it may have been the ‘chilli cook off’ episode of The Simpson’s where Homer eats that crazy chilli and goes on a crazy journey. Possibly anyway. I decided to document the process. I used the recipe from here. No idea if it’s any good, it was just the first I came across on a search. Got all the ingredients together and started.



That’s everything. There was supposed to be garlic, but there was none at the shops when I went there. Now onto chopping.




Cutting the first onions hurt my eyes, which is weird because that hasn’t happened to me before. Maybe I cut it up smaller then I have in the past. I also pre-measured everything to save time later. Cooked the meat and onions and checked everything into a pot.



I was a bit worried at this stage as it was very watery. Had to add an extra half cup to ensure the meat was covered. For there it simmered for ages, then I took the meat out and shredded it into little bits. No pics of that as I was hungry. Chucked it back in for a few minutes and dished some out.



Added some sour cream, grated cheese, and a crusty roll. I found some Bacardi’s on the floor (?) so I had one with my chilli. It was tasty! It was perhaps a little too meaty for me, so next time I’d put some kind of vegies in place of some of the beef. I want to cook this again, but I’m not sure when. I’ve got 5 bowls left, so I’ll probably be sick of it soon.
