  1. I certainly don’t care, but be careful because an army of people will come after you if you take a sponsorship from better help. I don’t know anything about them and I don’t give a shit but I’m just warning you lol good luck, my brother. Thank you for the great recipes over the years.

  2. This chili recipe sounds insane. Definitely gonna have to try it once I become independently wealthy and can afford chuck roast again. In all seriousness, based on how good this looks, I think proper meat will be worth saving for.

    Also, side note – where can I get that "Frog and Toad" shirt? My kids love those books.

  3. Basically a different take on beef bourguignon or beef burgundy if anyone is looking for another really good stew recipe. Love beef burgundy I'll have to try this.

  4. Yikes! People are still chill with being sponsored by better help? One more times of seeing that and I'm going to have to bounce

  5. Basically the same as Texas red and it’s not better than what we now call chili. It’s good but it’s so different I wouldn’t even compare the two.

  6. When I feel I’m letting myself down, I grab a couple of Shiner Bock beers and throw a ribeye on the grill – Life is good 🤠

  7. The problem with this is that no one is ever going to be able to find those chillis except by ordering them online. So, this recipe is something that can’t be made in a day or a couple of days notice even.

  8. I don’t like searing meat after dredging it. Then I get browned flour flavor instead of browned meat flavor. I for chili, I prefer to sear my beef as a steak first before cubing it.

  9. As a gay dude that loves face hair, my strong recommendation to ThatDudeCanCook is to be completely bald and clean shaven at all times. Hawt.

  10. I never use our [Le Creuset] casserole dishes [*Dutch ovens] to brown/sear meat. Always use a non-stick wok on the wok burner [gas ring] then transfer to the casserole dish – or, to a bowl until I’m ready to add it.

  11. Its only better than regular chili when served the way its supposed to be served, with rice, beans, and tortillas. You're comparing apples to oranges.

  12. Drop the chilies in beef stock/broth not water. If you can't brown in an enameled pan you need new pans or new skills.

  13. For browning I like Daniel Gritzer's method. It's really hard to sear cubes well. They usually end up steaming. So I sear the beef whole, a really hard sear, and then cut it into cubes and flour it.
