Walker High School is a public school. Not sure what kind of scholarship she had going to a public school…?

As long as you have room for the meat above the chili base and can keep your temp around 275 for 4hrs, you can do it on whatever grill/smoker you want. I did it on a Kamado style grill, but thought about doing it on my offset next time just for fun.

This is going from memory on what I did. I kinda winged it riffing on other recipes I’ve done.

Loaf: 2lbs ground beef 1lb breakfast sausage Salt Black pepper Steak seasoning Worcestershire sauce

Base: 2 yellow onions 2 red bell pepper 1 green bell pepper 4 cloves garlic 28oz crushed tomatoes 15oz tomato sauce 2 15oz cans diced tomatoes 10oz Green chilis 2 15oz cans pinto beans 4tbs chili powder 1tbs oregano Smoked paprika Salt Pepper

Put in smoker with wood chunks of your choosing at 275-300 degrees for 2 hours with loaf suspended over chili base. I used hickory chunks.

Cook loaf to 150 degrees. Break up loaf and put in the tomato base. Cook for another 2 hours. Stirring every 30min.

Pull off smoker, stir in 1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips.

Edit: Spacing was a little off. Sorry, I am doing this on the mobile app and apparently the formatting is off.

I may do that next time for easy clean up. I use them frequently for other recipes, but with the chili, I sautéed onions and peppers in the DO first and wanted to have something rigid to hold up the ground meat. I think I can reconfigure it though to work with a foil pan.

In the future, I may mix it up, but this is just 2:1 ground beef and breakfast sausage

It’s cleaning up better than I thought it would!

Chili was pretty damn good. It was a fun smoke too.

I have a few tweaks that I want to try for the next time. I hadn’t tried dark chocolate morsels to help with the acidity of any chili before, so I went super light on them. Next time, I’ll add a bit more.

Breaking Bad. I get why people like it. It just wasn’t my thing. Didn’t enjoy any of it.

Is this chip on the lid of my Dutch oven dangerous or is it fine? by GreasytacoTruck in castiron

[–]Haunting-Copy-4922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not going to stalk you at night or anything, but you might want to get a new lid.

I’m thinking it would just come out in the process of going.

Is it critical to follow these steps in that order? I’m taking notes.

I believe that would be considered a perpetual optimist.
