Yuuuuuuuummmm. I'm gonna try. +5/5 stars.

[James (pseudo-geek)]

oh that looks heavenly. I'll be sure and make some later today, I think I have all the stuff for it.

Looks good. When I make chili or similar concoctions, I like to sear some tasty brown goodness into the meat, before adding other stuff. Or was your meat already cooked?

[Baran Romis]

Wow! That looks incredible.. one question though, can you make it without the onions or will that kill the flavor? I can't eat onions.. they're sort of like my kryptonite. :(

[canida]

You can certainly make it without onions- it just changes the balance of flavor a bit. If you skip the onions I'd add more of the celery, peppers, and carrots in Step1, as well as a bit more garlic if it's not in the same category for you as onions.

Great, now you made me hungry for chili, which i'm having to day, not that it is bad or anything... never mind

[phildavi]

Am from Bangalore,India.I'll try this..this is more like Indian cooking

[canida]

I love Indian food- if you posted any recipes, I'd definitely try them!

[shady180]

Carrots and celery in chili!?!? I thought we were going to be friends, silly me.....

[phenoptix]

Carrots and celery are part of the holy trinity of sauce and stock ingredients! Onion being the other. They're a good thing!

[tickytickytackytac]

Looks good

[dustin_grey]

This definitely looks so amazing. Im going to have to try it one of these days, along with the tomatoes you have posted. I think about those everday, but haven't had a chance to go out and get some. Im getting hungry just thinking about it, so I'll head to school. Thanks for the post... it looks great.

No beer or wine in the simmering liquid? While it defeats the purpose of using up mystery meat, I had a boss who would use primarilly Hot Italian Sausage to give his chili "spice"

[canida]

If I'd had a bit of leftover beer on hand it would have gone in, but wine would have upset the flavoring. Venison has a great flavor, and I fear that wine might wash it out, at least in this chili where it already has to stand up to some other strong flavors. Was this because your boss didn't like chopping hot peppers?

Looks good. If you're going to post a pair of food items could you please have different photos for the main picture? Not drastic, just different enough to notice. Looks weird to see two identical pics in the list.

[canida]

Are they different enough now? Next time I'll use some more obvious pictures.

[fungus amungus]

Yup. Looks better.
