As the Texan said, the meat he used was for topping a potato, however the recipe itself is very good. I used ground beef instead as well as beer in place of the water. I also added an extra pepeer in adobo sauce and some of the seeds from the jalapeno. The only thing I have to complain about is whoever inputs the recipes on here is not very attentive. On the show, Tyler added chocolate. There is no chocolate listed here.
Off topic, I also think foodnetwork in general should go back to their old site. This site loads way too slowly and doesn't list nearly as many of the topics for each show that it once had. It was so much easier to search for shows prior to their new design. Plus, the request password button does not work.

Saw this this morning on Tylers Ultimate. Yum!!!! First off...didn't have the canned poblanos so added fresh ones, as well as a jarred roasted red bell pepper when I was pureeing the veggies. Used a HUGE spanish onion as well. I was a little skeptical halfway through, it looked a little soupy. And I was even more scared as I didn't have masa. I picked up these ingredients in little sidewalk shops in manhattan; alas, no masa.
Instead, I made some simple jiffy cornbread and crumbled it into the chili once served, with a little aged white cheddar.
YUM. i didn't miss the beans at all. The chili wasn't overpoweringly spicy; instead, it has a very complex, deep flavor with a hint of sweetness to round out the finish. With most chili recipes, all I taste is the heat and my belly is full and i have heartburn for the rest of the night. This is so different and I love it! The beef was so tender, almost like brisket.

Tyler said he'd put his chili up against anyones. And then you blend all the vegetables and mash the meat? Two words - Dog Food. I wouldn't even make that for my dog. My Texas chili is made with ground chuck and cubed sirloin tips. Simmered for four hours minimum. All the vegatables are 1 inch cubed, Jalapenos are sliced round, with the seeds in the chili. Red, Green and Yellow bell peppers for color and cayenne pepper for that long lasting heat on the back of your tongue. All the vegetables go in for the last hour only. Tyler, next time you're in Connecticut, I'll throwdown Texas style chili with you anyday!

I added about 1 1/2 pounds more beef than the recipe said because it seemed too liquid-y without it. There was a great depth of flavor here and the spices were complex, not overpowering. I don't know what "authentic Texas chili" really is, but this was wonderful. I highly recommend making the corn pudding to go with this, but check the reviews first because the recipe printed on this website has some errors!

I made this chili and my family really loved it. I grew up in Texas and this isn't anything like the chili I had growing up. It is better! I did add beans though.

Made this tonight. It was the first time I have made a chili that I was satisfied with, although I did modify it somewhat. I did add the bittersweet chocolate that was on the episode. I also added some drained and rinsed kidney beans at the end since we happen to prefer beans in our chili. It did take much longer than the recipe said to get the meat tender enough and the consistency right.

My husband loved it and had seconds and thirds! The depth of flavor is really good. It's spicy but not overly so.

This was off the hook. Never made one quite like this before where the meat is mashed ... very interesting and fun to make. Thanks Tyler! Judy

I made this chili along with the corn pudding as shown on television. My husband and I loved it! So different than the normal chili with beans. I love the way the beef was shredded. Reminded me of a beef tamale with the corn pudding on top. Anyway the spices in the meat was different and wonderful.

It was good, but I thought it was missing a little something. I am thinking that it needs a little brightness on the finish, maybe some sort of acid like lime juice otherwise it tasted a little heavy. That being said it was still quite good.

I was born and raised in Houston, TX and when I saw Tyler make this recipe on his show I was quite shocked. That type of chili is meant for a baked potato.
