I prefer a double bock over an IPA for chili. I like the malty richness over sour and floral.
Philomena Cunk! I die. 😂
I can't eat chili without pickled jalapeños on top. I also add a bit of yellow mustard to the beef. Try it, you will never go back.
IPA in food! Crazy!
Wow, Chili con Cunk.
Thank you! Instead of the IPA or chicken/beef broth, would apple cider work? Or ginger ale?
I use fresh pico de gallo.
(:
What, no cumin? What is chili without cumin? LOL!
Good video…. Living on a shoestring, at Anchor….The Nation is falling apart….I wanna sail away
I think I'm going to be able to figure out the hazy IPA..
For an EVEN LAZIER chili, use a crock pot. Dump everything in, and cook on high for 4 hours.
A simplified, 'basic' chili recipe for a crock pot is ground beef, canned diced tomatoes, canned beans (red kidney beans, pinto beans, and/or black beans), roughly equal proportions of cayenne, cumin, and chili powder, and some some salt (season however you like, but that's a starting point for a standard chili flavor for people that have no idea what to use).
Chili isn't the kind of recipe you need exact measurements for. You can cook the ground beef ahead of time, or just dump it in the crock pot, raw. Raw is lazier, and works just fine, but you have to wait until the end to adjust the seasoning (I start by adding some seasoning, then adding more after the meat is cooked enough to taste-test the seasoning).
Anyway, dump everything in, stir it up (smoosh the hamburger into bits, if you didn't already cook it). Put some salt in, dump in some seasoning (knowing you will add more, to taste, at the end, and let it cook (4 hours on high or 6 hours on low). Sometimes I use 3 cans of diced tomatoes and 3 or 4 cans of beans, and roughly one pound of beef. It really doesn't matter, and the whole point is that it's a very lazy recipe that is impossible to screw up. Add WHATEVER YOU FEEL LIKE, and it will taste good. It's chili, and there are infinite ways to make chili. Beef with red beans, chicken with black beans… turkey meatballs, beans and habanero… anything you put in there will taste great.
Would you please give guidance on other brands of beers wines to use as substitutes for Hazy. What about sherry or port? Thank you.
I can't resist a Chef John Chili
Nice! I didn't know chilly were beans bolognese. Looks tasty!
lol I literally made your older beer chili recipe what must have been about 2 hours before this video released, that's crazy
I've been making beef&bean chili for decades. This one looks good! I put in a lotta chopped stuff: bell peppers in several colours, onions, garlic, celery (if I have it), other vegs ad hoc, I'm gonna add an IPA to my next batch. (My favourite beer BTW.)
Dude…..using a potato masher on ground beef is genius! Hope you don't mind I'll be stealing that technique.
I use a pastry cutter instead of a tater masher.
If I use dried beans chef what will that change here?
No chili powder? LOL Looks like an awfully expensive way to make a crappy chili. IPA is the worst choice possible for chili. If you are truly lazy just dump a normal recipe into a pressure cooker, and 20 minutes later it's done.
That much mashing of the beef disqualifies the use of “lazy” in the title
Youtube would be so boring without your videos
beautiful
Have you ever heard or tried chocolate in chil? I always use the base recipe of Emeril's chuckwagon chili. Quantities may very, but if done right you should have waves of smokey, spices and sweet.
Wow great recipe. At my house Chile was always spread on bread. Store bought was always germet, but it was great with home made bread. Her bread was always so good.
Philomena Cunk! nice
BEANS?? It ain't chilli if it has beans in it 😊 Other than that one fatal flaw it looked pretty good
Sugar, cinnamon, beans….. not sure what you made but it’s definitively not chili
Sam the cook guy would have added cumin and a half dozen F bombs.
Needs cumin
Love it and will make it 😊
Me watching this while drinking a hazy hero (I thought about making this but I’m an alcoholic)
I love a salsa chili, add a beer in it instead of with it? Im digging this recipe!
Adding in jarred salsa is a genius move.
This makes my Texas head hurt.
Chili in July!?!?! CJ, you are a madman!
This looks awesome. When I make chili at home, I usually use a Corona or two. You can taste it in the background I also freeze sweet corn when it's in season. And throw a cup or so into the chili. Along with a small can of tomato paste. I like the acid it.
I never knew about the cinnamon, I have to try that. A local place puts in a little brown sugar and you can taste that sweetness and every bite. It's kind of nice 🤤
Chili rocks!
One of my bowling leagues has a pot luck coming up. I am totally gonna make this. Thanks Chef John.
Pretty darn good take on a Chili recipe! (I had to google Cunk). Listened to the audio several times for the proper pronunciation, as I'm aware that you sometimes use descriptive terms that can have dual innuendos.
It's 100 degrees outside. This is going to have to wait for fall.
What is an IPA?
I really don't think this is cheating at all. Work smarter than harder. I will definitely try this out the next time I make chili. I may even lose the beans and use this for chili dogs as well.
❤️ dang it! I’m hungry
No cumin?
Did you put your hair into a man bun when your poured the beer in?
Just ridiculously impressive and as a hazy IPA lover from Michigan I can’t thank you enough I’ll be making that as soon as football season begins! Which means tomorrow since training camp already began.. my favorite watch on YouTube
