Put my chili, 3rd day warm up, over an all the way baked potato tonight.
To many ways to eat chili, and so many ways to make it.

Have to disagree on the peppers being the same, the red, yellow and orange ones are pretty similar maybe the same but there's a difference between them and the green. Most of the green peppers are not ripe and are more bitter in taste. The reds, yellows and orange ones are sweeter. We eat them a lot mixed in with scrambled eggs.Sometimes in my chili or spaghetti, I will use green, red, yellow and orange bell peppers, and use red, white, and Vidalia onion. I do this when making it for someone else, or in a competition, but is is just for the visual appeal. Making either one for myself, I just use green bell peppers and yellow onions, because they are cheaper. But there is no difference in the taste between the 4 colors of bell pepper.
I don't like anything hot or spicy myself. My chili is mild. People can add hot sauce to their bowl if they want to, is how I see it. I entered and won a contest today at a local dealership, in fact. Won it every year since 2019 since I learned the secret. Over 2/3rds, 68%, of people prefer mild chili. This contest is a deal that the public judges. People get a ticket and a bowl, and come by each table and get a little cup ( I think 2 oz.), then they put their ticket in the bucket by whoever's chili they liked. After they vote, they can get a bowl of whichever chili they want. The 2 dudes that nearly always come in 2nd make what they call Cincinatti chili. They use cinnamon for heat and it makes it sweet. It is still kinda spicy, but it sneaks up on you. You get the burn in the after taste. Everyone else makes HOT chili, and some will make a white, chicken chili, or make it with black beans or kidney beans or corn, etc on it. A lot of the ones who make hot chili, go to these competitions where they have 3 or 4 "chili masters" judging, and at those, the real hot chilis do well.
Absolutely true, as well as the reds/orange, and yellows being a bit 'warmer' but not by much.Most of the green peppers are not ripe and are more bitter in taste.
Oh the absurdity!!!!Chili, possibly known to others as Taco Soup. I've been craving it since the thread wad posted. Smells so good. Forgot the blackeyed peas though.

If you haven't already, try it on scrambled eggs sometime.
It's a little bit different,
Makin me hungry hungry hungry!Tonight's supper was fried taters, scrambled eggs with cheese, peppers, medium picante sauce, ham, and topped with some hot sauce, and bacon on the side.
