Annual Halloween Chili

[Rich G]

It's that time of year......time for ghosts, goblins, and chili!!! I'm still faithfully following my go-to recipe for Bill's Dark Matter Chili, and I have already gotten calls/texts from 6 people checking to make sure it will be on our menu at the annual Halloween party tomorrow night!

This years version is an all chuck roast rendition. 3lbs of freshly ground chuck (from my sausage making day a week ago or so), and then another three pounds of chuck that got smoked to the sliceable stage (~185°) then diced. In addition to the chili powder (blend), my chile powders this year were: Ancho, California, and Chipotle. Ended up with just this side of a gallon of chili, which will be gone in 30 minutes if tradition holds....



I'll also have some Pirate Skeleton ribs on the menu tomorrow, and plenty of cold beer.

Happy Halloween!

Looks and sounds good! We do a big pot every year too. I smoked a couple chuck roasts yesterday, I like to cook them till they shred. Mixed up and cooked the Chili today. We sit outside with a fire and wait for the trick or treaters. This year it will be propane due to dry weather conditions. Still have some last minute outside decorations to put up but almost done.

Last year


Decorations so far…
