One of the best chili starters there is. Love this recipe. Do NOT precook the beef as Food Network Chefs say, cook it the way intended, all in one pot, and stir. I highly recommend following Cef PigseyeBBQ recipe on measurements as the food network chefs did the recipe completely out of proportion (Maybe Guy didn't like the chili as much as he acted on TV?? who knows I added 1 to 2 med. sized cans of crushed tomatoes to make it a bit more richer in tomato flavor, and some celery chopped into small chunks. This really does not change the thickness of chili, it just makes it that much better

I finally found a great start to good chili!!! Watched the video over and over and read VioletScope's rendition of the process. Well here's what I came up with:

1.75 lbs Ground Beef
15oz Can Tomato Sauce
1/4 Cup Dark Chili Powder
1/4 Cup Ancho chili powder
3 T Paprika
1 Large White Onion, Diced
1/8 Cup Freshly Pureed Garlic
2 T Cumin
A shake or two red chili pepper
1/2 t Salt
1/2 t 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. Add what you think is missing.

I cook it down a little more and use that for a coney dog topping.

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.
