2023 Chili Recipe

Posted on September 30, 2023October 25, 2023 By MCDP Web Team

“Dark Brandon” Chili

3          lb                                 ground beef    (or other meat, should be lean)

2          lg                                 white onions

7          heaping tbsp               chili powder (preferably dark chili powder but regular works fine)

2          tbsp                             black pepper

4          tbsp                             granulated garlic powder

2          tbsp                             MSG (A’ccent brand, can substitute salt)

2          cans                             Rotel chili fixins (or hot)

2          28 oz cans                   small peeled diced tomatoes (undrained)

2          14 oz cans                   chili diced tomatoes (undrained)

3.5       tbsp                             ground cumin

8          oz                                V8 (vegetable juice; may use up to 11 oz)

1          can                              tomato soup (about 10 oz)

3          cans                            dark red kidney beans (undrained, no rinse)

4          tbsp                            baking cocoa powder (or dark chocolate)

1          cup                              brown sugar (dark or light, but use dark for thematic consistency)

?          tbsp                             salt (salt to taste, see below)

Saute/brown onions and beef in 6 qt (or larger) stock pot

Add spices and salt

Then add tomatoes, ok and salt to taste

Add beans and simmer

Makes about 5 qt

This is based on a recipe originally by Dr. Earl Parrott, which was modified and adapted
by the members of the Ad-Hoc Chili Committee, September 2023, after taste-testing and debate.

As written this is likely to be pretty spicy and somewhat sweet, so those preferring a milder chili should be sparing with chili powder. You may also wish to be conservative with the brown sugar. Our experimentation indicates that MSG or salt will really help bring the flavor out.

This recipe is likely somewhat too big for most crackpots, so you may want to cut it in half if you want to use a slow cooker instead of a stock pot.
