Let's Make Dinner!

I make my chili with corn and beans.

Why the turkey?

cooking the beef in ~1.5 pound batches over medium heat

Why even bother adding a pound of turkey when it already has 5 pounds of beef? Seems rather pointless.

I discarded the absurd amount of gross grease that rendered out of the beef while it cooked, cooked the sausage and removed it, then cooked the turkey

the turkey rendered out a good deal of watery liquid that I used to partially deglaze the pan

starting to get ready for our guests

pico de gallo, sour cream, chopped onions, shredded colby jack cheese, and lettuce for each guest to garnish with as they like

I spent about $65 on all the ingredients and ended up with 37 servings with fritos and another 5 servings without fritos

We raised $43 in donations during the meeting so we're getting ever closer to our goal of having our Friday night meetings pay for themselves

>>7418677
Neat. I'd love Friday food nights like that with a big crowd.

Every bite of chili got consumed before I had a chance to eat lol

I ordered a pizza after I did the dishes. Bacon, banana peppers, mushrooms and onions.

Thanks for sharing, OP. And thanks for not posting 3-megabyte images.
I think you could use more onion than that if you're on a budget. Any special reason for going with red rather than white?

>>7418581
heh

Nice thread OP but honestly your images are too poor of quality maybe try turning the setting on your camera up they look very pixilated. You don't have to worry about catering to the one anon who is browsing an image board on his phone with a 2 gig shared family plan.

>>7418698
I just prefer the flavor and appearance of red onions. Yellow is usually the least expensive variety around here but only by like 20 cents/pound

>>7418689
>a pizza

>>7418691

you ordered 2 pizzas?

There's three things you never want to see in chili

>beans
>meat
>distinguishable veggies

True chili is just a blend of tomato puree and, as the name implies, chilis. Anything else is a bastardization of form.

>>7419507
real chili doesnt have tomatoes. they're optional

>>7418578

this is the cheap factory grind. its subpar hamburger made from scraps that are ground to paste and formed into hamburger shapes.

REAL chili is only made in the country of Chile, S.A.

Everything else is bogus, beans or no beans.
This is an indisputable fact.

Do you have this saved to a document somewhere or do you just have it memorized?
