Excellent recipe (even in a stock pot.
The key is to make the chili powder from scratch.
After I made Alton's chili powder, I was hooked. But, I add some cocoa powder to the mix.

I have made this recipe several times now. It is so simple and easy. I have an electric pressure cooker and cook on high for about 30 mins. Meat comes out tender. I don't get picky about what kind of beer, salsa, or chips I use. It's all good. Add some sour cream before serving. Yum!

More pressure cooker recipes please!

I based my chili on this recipe in two contests--with modifications on the meat type (I used Elk instead of lamb and took 2nd place in both. I found that Alton's spice was just enough heat for a flavorful and spicy chili. I did it once with the whole can of chipotles...I couldn't drink enough milk!

I love this Chili, it's a snap to make and the chipotles in adobo sauce give it just the right amount of kick.

I made this recipe for a chili cookoff and won first place!! Thanks Alton! This just goes to show that Texans (of whom there were 4 on the judging panel don't THING ONE about chili. As long as it keeps winning, I'll be making this and laughing behind the backs of Texans everywhere.

Way to thick and saucy.
Smells and tastes like tortilla chips.
Both a result of all the tortilla chips in it.
Perhaps try with about 1/5 of the chips called for.

I can't count how many times I've seen Alton play Grumpy Gus. Love the whole Lonesome Dove angle... so I finally tried the recipe (sans pressure cooker and with good quality store-bought chili powder. It was good. The next batch with all beef was better. And one time I had no tortilla chips and used crushed Frito's instead -- yummy! Also, one day I found myself with a whole bunch of leftover smoked brisket, so I chopped it up and made it into this chili. It was unbelievably good. Bottom line for me: You can be creative with this recipe and it's still delicious. I don't think I'll make it exactly the same way twice.

Be sure to try this! Really a cinch to make and soooooo good too. Try the old pressure cooker -- borrow one from mom or grandmom and you'll be hooked. We'll all short on time -- you'll want to use this appliance more! Great taste -- made with some cornbread. Good combo -- make sure you have some sour cream ... you might need it to put out the fire. : - But...that's a good thing.

Store-bought salsa in chili? Why not just buy yourself a can of Hormel and be done with it. I just don't get that at all, especially after going to the fuss of making your own chili powder (and don't get me started with that. Seriously, this was just disappointing and hardly representive of a dish we Texans take such great pride in. And the store-bought tortilla chips... did you get this recipe from that Semi-Homemade woman? I have never seen a Texan or Southwesterner do that. Regular corn meal, sure, if you want that corny texture (although there's been many a fine pot of chili without it. With all the great versions of "authentic" chili out there that don't rely on anything more processed than a can of diced tomatoes, you could have done a lot better than this. It's a shame you couldn't show your audience how to make a great, tasty pot of chili without relying on so much processed junk for flavor and texture, because it certainly can be done. Well, at least you didn't go put beans in it on top of all of that.

Love the flavor and the less time with the pressure cooker.
