I saw this a few times on DDD and I finally decided to make it. It was very easy to make, and it was very good. I would recommend making this for a Friday night meal, or put it in your slow cooker and take it to your next pot luck gathering.

I have yet to make this chili, but after watching the video again as suggested, I have noticed one flaw in all of the recipes that have been posted. You are missing the coriander. Just a little FYI.

I agree with everyone else who says, the measurements in this recipe are way off! After reading some reviews, and watching the video on youtube in slow motion, here is what I've come up with:
Ingredients:
2.5 lbs Ground Beef
28oz Can Diced Tomatoes
1 Cup Dark Chili Powder
1/4 Cup Ground Chili Pepper
3/4 Cup Paprika
1 Large White Onion, Diced
1/4 Cup Freshly Pureed Garlic
1/8 Cup Cumin
1/8 Cup Dried Chili Flakes
1/16 Cup Salt
1/16 Cup Pepper
1/16 Cup Sugar
Mix all ingredients in a large pot. Once mixed, put onto the stove on high heat for 10 minutes. Turn down to low, cover, and let simmer for 2 hours, keeping the lid on and stirring every 30 minutes.
After cooking for 2 hours, taste. If needed, add 1/8 cup Ground Chili Pepper, 2 Tbsp Cumin, 2 Tbsp Dry Chili Flakes. Adjust any other spices to taste.
Mix, Cover, and cook on low for another 3 hours, keeping the lid on and stirring every 30 minutes.
To serve, top with fresh diced white onion and shredded cheese.

Ok, the recipe as listed by the food network is totally totally wrong, just re-watch the episode (you can find it on youtube. Ground chili pepper can be found at a local Latin America Food Store, it is a finely ground medium heat chili pepper. This is NOT the same thing as chili powder.

Second, there is a reworked recipie in the comments here which is almost spot on. I've already cooked it twice to amazing success, however, I would advise backing off a little on the amount of ground chili pepper and crushed red pepper, and after two hours in, taste it and add more accordingly. I say this, not because I dont like heat, but because the heat level of the ground chili and crushed red pepper can vary quite a bit, and its always easier to add more.....

Also, I cooked mine for 5 hours. An initial 2 hour cook, tasting, adding more spices, then cooking for another 3 hours. Texture is amazing, so is the taste.

Happy eating!

I wanted the recipe to this chili when I saw it. It looked so good, but when I read the recipe as I watched the show, it's missing some ingredients (like red pepper flakes. After reading the reviews of this chili, I see I'll also have to modify it as the measurements don't seem to be right, per the fans. I'll have to take some notes and do what everyone else is doing...modifying it.

Ok so everyone is right the episode is COMPLETELY different in measurements then the recipe. I think they cut back everything but forgot to cut back the meat measurement. By watching the episode repeatedly & approximating these are the measurements I have come up with...5 lbs ground beef, an economy size can of tomatoes, 2 large onions, 1/4 cup fresh garlic, 1 1/2c chili powder, 3/4c. chili pepper, 1/4c. ground cumin, 1/8c. crushed red pepper flakes, 1c. paprika, 1/8c. sugar, 1/8c. black pepper, 1/4c. salt. Throw all ingredients in a pot & cook over low for 2 hours stirring every 20 minutes. Then throw in an additional Tbsp of chili powder, paprika, chili pepper & an additional tsp of salt, blk pepper, sugar, crushed red pepper flakes. Then cover & cook an additional hour. Hope that helps future cookers of this recipe.
