Homemade Chili Done Right



YouTube chef Adam Ragusea breaks down the basics of making homemade chili. It's really quite simple. About 50 years ago, a friend made some really good chili and I got her recipe. Over time, I have changed and refined it to my own liking. The point is, homemade chili is a wonderful food that you can improve upon throughout your life. Don't be put off by this video's apparent length. Only 4:40 is devoted to chili; the rest is an ad. (via Digg)

Ragusea is always a piss to watch.

Never, ever use ground beef. I typically go with quarter inch cubes. Beef, lamb, pork shoulder in a 2-1-1 ratio.
After several hours, the meat will shred nicely.

Add some unsweetened chocolate for an amazing flavor twist.

My god that's a long list of stuff to add in. I'd need a spread sheet to organize it all. I didn't get the impression that much of it was optional.

My secret ingredient is Jull pods.

Bruce, all of it is optional. If you have chili and cumin, then it's chili. I also use salt, black pepper, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Sometimes I add other spices, but that's all optional.
