Make the chili verde recipe I linked and see how wrong you are! Meat for me doesnt really matter that much. Ive made it with all manner of game meats and once they have been sitting in that stew for a few hours its pretty irrelevant.

I think we can all agree that beans in hotdog chili is a hard pass.

You've had too much Manischewitz and a Yankee opining on chili is expectedly ludicrous. Stick to bean soups and brownies, bro.

I think my chili would somehow please both of you.

I usually make two - one Texas chili with diced chuck and no tomatoes or beans, and one vegetarian with flame charred corn/poblanos/jalapenos and white beans.

IMO the key to any chili is toasting the spices/dried peppers and grinding the powder fresh (or if you're kenji, toasting the things and making a puree).

Did I offend your sensibilities by not proclaiming the two types you favor most?

Brioche fresh out the oven. I may or may not use it to make one or more of the following tomorrow: grilled cheese, french toast, bread pudding.

Bchips. Nice! I too like a no frills cheese burger. Bun, meat, cheese and spicy mustard. All done on this $30 charcoal grill from Walmart.

In the spirit of the season (pumpkin, squash etc..), I made ravioli with butternut squash as the filling. Cooked with a LOT of garlic and onions with several different white cheeses in the sauce.

Would not recommend! Squash was way to sweet for a savory dish. Not even pic worthy after tasting. Not horrible, but more of an app for Sunday brunch maybe. Smaller portion with something a little heavier afterwards would be best.

Also in the spirit of the season... somewhat if you consider a pumpkin face made out of Sriracha... It was Paige's turn to conquer the Chopped kitchen. Took home leftovers from a birthday party we attended at a good Mexican food restaurant.

Chili Relleno, beef fajitas, refried beans, mexican rice and queso. I chose to add black beans, diced tomatoes, 1/3 jar spaghetti sauce and green onions. Let's see how she did.

Having unseasonably cool/cold temps here and just set an all time rainfall record for the Fall season all-time. I love it! When you grow up on a farm, you learn to never complain about the rain when you live in Texas.

Comfort food incoming. Great thing about these meals is that they keep on giving and are always good even when heating up as leftovers.

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS







Had a little left over for the puppies....







And POT ROAST....



The 3rd time thru, re-purposed as Shepherds Pie with some fresh Yukon Gold potatoes.





Sadly none of the guys got anything. Too damn good.

I didn't. I just piled them on top. I've seen what you're talking about before. The thinly sliced onions that they smash in to the patty and it ends up becoming one with the crust. I'll have to give that a try though one of these days.

I've never made a burger. Do you just take ground meat and slap it into a patty shape and put it on the grill? Are there any spices or other steps involved? I realize this is an idiotic question from someone from USA#1.

No worries. It's not an idiotic question at all.

Yeah I just got a pound of 80/20 ground beef, split it in to 4 equal parts and hand shaped the patties. I'm not sure if they label meat outside the US the same way but it just means it's 80% lean with 20% fat. Ideally you're going to want to use a grind with a decent amount of fat in it. As far as seasoning I just use a good sprinkle of kosher salt on each side then some fresh ground black pepper on both sides as well.

Definitely this. When I first started grilling, I used to put Worcestershire sauce, BBQ sauce, soy sauce... every imaginable spice and an egg and bread crumbs as a binder. NO! Salt and pepper. If you want to get frisky add a little garlic powder.

Cooking tip: Over medium/hot fire put your patties on but don't flip them until the juices start to pool on the up side. Flip and add cheese. When the cheese melts (3-4 minutes) burger should be just medium. Few more minutes for over-medium. Beyond that you are eating a hockey puck.
