Dont brown the meat / beef in a pan.... Geeesss Cook the Ground Beef in patties on the grill and then break them up for the chili. It adds a true grilled taste that does come thru... Real charcoal of course.....
The Caroll Shelby seasoning pack is definitely a good base. To get the best taste you need to grill the meat, peppers and onions and let them get a little charred. I prefer a 50/50 mix of beef and venison for a real authentic taste. A little pork to the mix doesn't hurt either :up:
Nah.....i got irritated when I would set my cruise control, only to have to de-activate it because some (out of being polite) person (aka fuckwad) would either pass me and slow down, or I would just come up on someone driving rediculously slow. Florida on the other hand, was fast, fast and fast. You go 80 in a 55 and about get run over by traffic. Back to Chili.
Bison meat is good too. I occasionally with do andouille sausage. Pork is good too. Grilling the meat, peppers and onions is definitely the way to go.
