Mesquite Smoked Texas Red Chili

[NePaSmoKer]

I smoked up 1 lb of 90/10 GB and .5 lb of fresh ground pork with 1 hour of mesquite @225*. Then cooked on the stove and added my seasoning. Its slow simmering now for 45 mins.

I think you meant to say "with a side of beans"!!!

Tdc is right "IMHO, chili without beans an't no kinda chili at all"  He's right it's not a kind of chili at all - it IS chili!  ;D

That's the way I grew up and that's the way el dioses intended it to be done.  SWMBO, however, in contravention of the natural order of things (and as one of her very few faults), insists on beans actually cooked in the chili.  Therefore, knowing upon which side my metaphorical bread (or tortilla) is buttered, I now make chili with beans and try not to shudder too noticeably.  So much for a perfect world.

Umm, hmmm,ummmm, errrr - KH I really hate to let you in on this, but I guess I "Bean" trained my wife better!  :D ;D  She does however, want it to be thicker than I would normally make it - so my one concession is thick chili.  Her main fault in chilidom though, is that she sprinkles cheese on top and puts on a dollup of sour cream.  Man, heresy and talk about cooling down the taste and heat.  I can't trace back to where I lost control and my subsequent failure on that other than maybe she got that from my chili/frito pie, or the chili over cheese rollups.  Why go to the trouble of making great chili?  I can see why some would want to put it over spaghetti and sprinkle cheese on top - to hide the defective flavor caused by the offending beans!  :D ;D  I now go hide in my cave!
