ZombyWoof's Crock Pot Chili: Tax Day Style!

[Zomby Woof]

Going to have a pot luck with the co-workers tomorrow to celebrate the end of the tax season. Experimenting with this chili recipe for my crock pot:

1 lb of stew meat
2 15 oz cans of dark red kidney beans
2 16 oz cans of Mexican style sliced tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 6 oz can of tomato paste
1/2 of a 5 oz bottle of Tabasco
1 green pepper, minced
1 onion, minced
1 4 oz can of green chiles
3 tbs of hot Mexican style chili powder
1 bay leaf
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp of marjoram
Lots of fresh ground black pepper

I will brown the stew meat in a thin layer of olive oil on the bottom of the pot. Then stir in everything else and let it cook all morning before going in...


Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

1. I don't like you.

I was just thinking about how hungry I am. Sounds really good.

[Zomby Woof]

2. hush up and eat some more soap!

:P

[BlondieK143]

4. Leave my soap alone..

At least IT can't talk back!

3. Tax Day Chili?

Pour in a fifth of Tequila and celebrate.

[Zomby Woof]

5. The refund is almost instant

:-)

[Don_G]

10. Refund?

I'm talking about the end of aggravation. It's only one day a year when your benevolent government forces all solid citizens to become a CPA and a Tax Lawyer.

6. How does one slice a tomato "Mexican style"?

And how much of a difference does that make after cooking for hours?

[SoCalDem]

9. With a machete??

:shrug:


He probably meant like this:

[LeftCoast]

7. I am relieved to see no mention of hamburger in that recipe!

You make chili much the way I do! Haven't made it in a while. Thanks for the reminder!

[Zomby Woof]

8. I'll save you a bowl

:hi:

[LeftCoast]

11. *Slurp*

I hope you're cooking a BIG pot! I'm hungry. :D

[Zomby Woof]

12. It won't fill the 6 quarts

But it will do just fine. May want to bring your antacid of choice. :-)

[LeftCoast]

13. I'm glad this is only cyber

My stomach has not been happy lately. Dunno what would happen if I actually were to eat some chili tonight. :D

[Wonk]

14. Got me on ignore there, do ya, Zomby? Just checking. nt

[Don_G]

15. Naahh

A night of 1040 instructions is enough to do anyone in.

[Champ]

16. Mmmmm

That sounds really good. :9

[GOPisEvil]

17. Sounds Zombylicious!

:9

[Catshrink]

18. Make that yakilicious

[buddhamama]

19. slice your onion with a razor

so thin it'll dissolve when cooked.-- a movie reference. do you know which one?

The only chili i have made was, uhmmm, vegetarian, so no help here.

I'd be happy to supply you with some coffee soap, though. :D

Enjoy the food and fun.

And a toast to the end of the tax season :toast:

:loveya: :hi: :hug: :loveya:

[GOPisEvil]

20. Goodfellas!

And I thought they sliced the garlic with a razor, but my memory could be failing me. :D

[buddhamama]

21. nah, you're right

it was garlic. it was the best i could do (he's not including garlic in his recipe) seeing how i am half awake and ZW's too busy making stew and celebrating to serve coffee. :D :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

23. He has no garlic in his chili?!

:o You're right! He doesn't! Hmmm...I just always assumed people put garlic in their chili because I do. :-)

[Zomby Woof]

28. look again

3 cloves, finely chopped... but I put in even more this morning. :D

I CANNOT do without garlic!!! Or coffee... want some? :hangover:

[GOPisEvil]

30. Oh, there it is. I missed it.

I knew there had to be garlic.

I need the coffee, apparently. :hangover:

[Zomby Woof]

33. comin' right up!

There is no garlic in my coffee, however. :D :hangover:

[buddhamama]

36. truly sorry.

your reputation as Zomby cook extraordinaire is without impugnity and i swear never to utter such falsities again.

i read cloves as "cloves" without realizing it refered to garlic.

would love some coffe,
you're so forgiving :D

[Zomby Woof]

37. Like I would ever be upset with you

No cloves in my coffee either. :D

(For you, meatless chili, with even more garlic!) :loveya: :hangover:

[SmileyBoy]

42. Jeez Zomby, coffee, chopped garlic... Your intestine's gonna dissolve!!!

:D:D:D

[Zomby Woof]

43. intestines? what intestines?

Got rid of 'em! Dead weight! :D

[Zomby Woof]

27. Woohoo!

By the time I read this, I have everything in there, and it will be more than I thought. Enough to feed everyone a few times over. :-)

Guess someone beat me to the movie... ah well. :D

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :bounce:

[DS1]

22. Shame about the Tabasco, it's so 'everyday'

There are many, better alternatives, but of course it's your chili and you can do whatever you want with it.

[Zomby Woof]

29. this is for a general audience

But it complements the tomatoes quite well. If this were just for me, I would add a diced habanero. Gotta please the masses...

Always keep a bottle handy for versatility and subtle flavor boosting, not so much as a 'hot sauce'.

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. I wish I had my tummy back. That sounds delicious...

mmmmMMMMMmmmm>

[Zomby Woof]

31. best thing is...

My virtual bowl won't harm ya a bit (or make you sleep on the sofa)! ;-) :loveya:

Feel better soon, ok?

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. Thank you Zomby!!! So far I have kept half a glass of juice down!

It's a good day to be me. :loveya:

[LWolf]

25. Yum.

I happily quit cooking when I quit feeding anyone but myself; but Chili is something I still do. A specialty. I'll have to put a pot together soon.

:9

[Zomby Woof]

32. Hi L!

Good to see you hangin' with us in the Lounge! :hi: :hangover:

[LWolf]

40. Hey, ZW.

I'm happy to find time; spring is blowing some fresh changes through.

:thumbsup:

[ZenLefty]

26. Add some tequila

Really brings some good flavor to chili. :9

[Zomby Woof]

34. unfortunately

I can't stomach tequila, but I have never heard that before... you learn something new every day. :-)

How are the playoffs (aka "ZenLefty's High Holy Days Leading Up to ZenLefty Day")?

[ZenLefty]

38. I was a judge in a chili cookoff a few years ago

All of us unanimously agreed that this one person's chili was by far the best. Her secret ingredient was tequila. :9

It was also unanimously agreed that after sampling 20 different kinds of chili, we were in desperate need of some prescription strength Tums. :o

The Most Holy of Holy Days are very exciting this year. We're up 3-1 on Dallas so far. Honestly, I wish Dallas would play better, especially in goal. It's disappointing to see them play below their ability in a playoff game.

Canucks and Flames are beating the crap out of each other. Suits me just fine.

Predators are skating circles around Detroit's old man crew. Suits me just fine too.

:D

[Zomby Woof]

39. ohlawdhavemercy

It...smells...sooooo.....gooooood............. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

:smoke: Was it good for you too?

[curse10]

41. Fuck you and your meat chili!

:P

[Zomby Woof]

44. Fuck you and your Survivor-watchin'!

(But "bitch" is okay!) :P
