No offense but I don't need to try your chili, Tommy's is world famous for theirs and like I said people around the world pay to have FED-EX overnight them a batch. I would imagine that would cost a decent amount to do

Oh and don't use any of that ground beef crap. Chili w/ ground beef != real chili.

I guess it depends on what kind of party is it - I assume because you suggested chilli it's a sit down with plates and glasses of wine type party, and if that's the case I'd expect people to bring proper food. If it's a stand with beers and dance with girls party then fuck it, just bring pizza.

How might one go about getting an order from Tommy's shipped via FedEx?
[edit]
NM... got their number from their website Q&A page. Apparently they can freeze a batch and mail it to you. Sweet!

I appreciate all the recipes though. Maybe I can sweet talk the wife into cooking up something.
And it's not like everyone else is bringing food they made themselves. I bet there are dinner rolls from a local bakery, potato and/or pasta salad from a local deli, etc. Or is the sticking point me trying to pass off restaurant chili for my own?

you want some ground chuck - fatty beef makes better chili. about 2 lbs. you could also use a beef and ground pork mixture. 2 lbs beef and 1 lb pork is probably good.
1 16 oz can of chopped or crushed tomatoes
1 large white onion (yellow is good too), minced/diced
4 or 5 cloves garlic, smashed
chili powder to taste
ground cumin to taste
ground cayenne to taste
pepper and salt to taste
6er of beer
16 oz kidney beans if you like (though some will claim adding them means you're not making chili)
slowly brown the beef with the onions, add in garlic and spices, add in tomatoes, reduce over medium heat (check seasoning when its reduced) add beer, reduce, add another beer and reduce if you like, add beans last (reduce and check seasoning). best to make it a couple days beforehand and let it all meld in the fridge.
the chili powder is your seasoning base. if you want it a bit more earthy add cumin, if you want it more spicy add cayenne. you shouldn't need to add much salt as it is probably the first ingredient in chili powder.
any recipe that has bell peppers in it is not a chili recipe. it's a spaghetti sauce recipe.
Good recipe, but I also add:
- paprika with the other spices - absolutely essential
- worcestershire sauce
- roast sweet red peppers - blended up - ignore ElFenix this is good shit
- a few squares of dark (very dark) chocolate
The beer I don't get.

Every pot of home made chili I have ever eaten or made has had both ground beef and beans in it as part of the main ingredients. So to me, IMO, meat and sauce alone does not equal real chili. Contests/cook-offs can set their rules as they see fit, but it doesn't make them the end all and be all authority of what ingredients chili should be made with.

Lol so you like chili that's not true chili, that's fine, authentic chili has meat and spices and that's it. Chili Con Carne is what chili is supposed to be, along the way poor people started to add beans & veggies because it was cheaper and they didn't have money to make Chili Con Carne. Weird how something people did only because they didn't have money caught on like it did lol. A lot of people like chili with beans and bell peppers and shit in it now a days. That's up to them, sort of how I like to put hot dogs in my mac & cheese. But I at least admit it's not authentic mac & cheese at that point
I picked up a gallon of Tommys chili I'm in HEAVEN. I ate a bowl of it, and used some as dip for Tortilla chips. I would kill somebody for the recipe for this! haha.

Beanless Chilli is a lie. Just as wrong as "Cheesecake is Pie"!

no lol chili with beans is a lie, you didn't have chili, you had "chili with beans" notice how the word beans has to be added? if you buy canned chili and it has beans it will say "chili with beans" on the label. If chili was supposed to have beans they wouldn't have to add it to the label, duh
