Ive NVR heard of Sumone draining/rinsing "chili" beans. 😱 I NVR do...bc they got the chili flavor n season in them 😲 Ive heard of draining/rinsing "kidney" beans tho n I do bt to each their own. Binge watching since I became a new sub 4wks ago. WOW 😳....first time I seen melissa.....shes gorgeous...nice to put a face with a name! 😉
I do make my chili similar to urs bt I'm goina try that sugar & tomato juice...those chili packets make a big diff. Only thing diff I do is...I add several cans of diff varieties of beans....I luv beans! Ty tom @comesitatmytable9044
First of all your chili looks delicious. Im from Texas and we add a whole lot more chili powder and cumin, crushed garlic or garlic powder and onions along with the tomato sauce. Most Texans don’t put beans in their chili but I was also taught to cook by a father who was a fine cook (and was a yankee from New York) and he put beans in our chili. Mother always set the table and cleaned up the kitchen after dinner.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your recipes. I just found this one and did not realize this was your first. I can’t count the number that I have copied, made, and passed on. I am getting ready to go in the kitchen and make your pimiento cheese. I am going to make it with chopped bread and butter pickles as I have them on hand and you commented that you like them better. I just know it will be a keeper too. I will be getting the ingredients for the chili tomorrow. You two are just the sweetest couple. I know your school and church are so fortunate to have you. Many blessings to you and your family. And, happy day! September 1 and for my family it is officially fall!!!
That’s the great thing about cooking. Everybody can make it to their own taste. We are not fans of kidney beans, but we love it with the chili beans. Thank you very much for watching our video. We appreciate it.
I just found your channel this week . I really love it. I put spicy V-8 juice in my chili . I can always have more vegetables in my diet . People can't tell the difference.
@debmorehead1118 @cindeeaubry2878 Both ur recipe ingreds sound very gud. Im gonna try them both for sure maybe even tgthr at the same time. Tyfs ladies! 😉
Your wife is beautiful! Had never seen her before. I will probably make some chili tomorrow. My daughter and son in law are both sick, so this should hit the spot with them.
Drives me crazy when they don't scrape the bowls too. My parent went thru the Great Depression and were adamant we never wasted any food. A use was found for everything, including the fat drained from meat. Looks delicious!
Welcome to TH-cam! I use a table knife to clean out the Pampered Chef breaker-upper. Not because I am afraid of touching the meat, but because I just don't want to have to wash off my hands and I don't mind washing a table knife. Until I saw the pampered chef tool, I used a fork! My mother was a restaurant cook, but I could never handle kitchen tools like she could - - plus, when I started cooking for my children, we couldn't really afford to buy kitchen utensils - - I just learned to work with what I had. I was really impressed with the Pampered Chef tool. Good for you! You poured some of the onions in (keep in mind that I only use onions because I could care less, but I am sure REAL men like onions!), gave the hamburger a couple of stirs and I thought: Not enough onions! Sure enough! You went for the bag! Good on you! I am not a cook (just not domesticated much) but I could tell by the color ... I don't know what made your final decision, but I APPLAUDED! YES! By the time it is all chili, no one is going to actually taste onion when they bite into it, are they? It is the texture they want, I think ... same with the cut up tomatoes ... I like smooth chili sauce - - tomatoes must be for texture! (That is all I can figure) Okay! I like big chunks of hamburger, so I put in four pounds of hamburger - - if my chili lasts a week, that is five days less cooking I have to do, so I always made chili in the biggest pot I could find. Just for the record - - when I made spaghetti, I filled a roaster pan full ... again, fewer meals to make. I was privileged enough (being born and raised on a ranch) that the idea of buying five pounds of hamburger and parceling out over a week was just beyond my ken. I have really enjoyed life and living ... and people I raised grew up to adulthood without food poisoning or ever going hungry. They all live away from me now, but it always sounds to me like they live in diners. No problem - - if I could have afforded it, I would have done that too. AND! Every one of those kids cook dishes I have never considered making - - so, they did learn something from me. and, oh yeah! I use a lot more water in my chili - - I like a little chili with my crackers. LOL Oh, Melissa! You are BEAUTIFUL! I can see why you like to cook, Tom. She is well worth all the "Babe"s and affection you show her! The two of you are a good team. I also top my chili with cheddar cheese and sour cream .... I eat my chili with a fork! LOL. Grilled cheese sandwiched with ham is a stand alone dinner. Differences are great, aren't they????
Tom, I find that when I use my meat chopping tool like the one you have, I keep using it even once the meat gets brown. It helps to get the meat off that tool. Also if you go ahead and scoop most of that fat from the meat it helps you get those brown bits on the meat. That’s been my experience. I wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed your video. I like how you tell us each ingredient that you use. Then you guys go the extra mile by writing out the recipe and giving it to us in the description. That’s so thoughtful. And much appreciated. Thank you so much! God bless you and your family. You’re such a sweet man and thoughtful! You are so right about having someone to cook for. Our kids are grown and gone but I do still enjoy having them all over and cooking for them. I just enjoy cooking! Now it’s just me bc I lost my husband to brain cancer. We were married 39 years.
I agree, drives me crazy too when cooks don't get all the food out of the bowls and waste so much. This recipe looks yummy. Love chili. Thank you for sharing. 😊
This looks good and easy. But why add the Tomato Paste when you already have tomato juice and tomatoes? Tom, you started out a little shy but you quickly overcame that. You are a natural, lol. Many thumbs up guys. God bless you.
I love your channel! It's totally bingeworthy!! You had me at 'Waste not, want not.' I get super frustrated when people don't clean out the bowl/can/pan thoroughly.
Oh we don't like to be wasteful. We appreciate that you agree with us on that! Thank you so much for watching. We really appreciate it. And this was our very first video EVER! We had so much to learn back then. Not that we're experts now - we are not- but we were such novices at that point.
When I watch cooking shows and they're using bell peppers but don't use the top or bottom parts because you have to clean it more, it just drives me crazy. I use every part, no matter if it takes me 30 more seconds to clean it!
In the south we have rice with our chili. I often cook dried pinto beans one day and chili the next. I use Texjoy chili powder in both my pinto beans and chili.
Corn bread is really good with Chilli ... Your recipe sounds good and yummy ! 😊😋 Nothing like a good bowl of Chilli during the Fall and Winter Seasons ! 😊😋🥰
Am new to your channel and as a 76year old I love some of the things I never knew to do. Yes I also use some sugar in my chili. I also think it makes the chili taste better. Learned how to boil potatoes for the best mashed potatoes. Never knew to put them in boiling water instead of starting them in cold water. Did that tonight and it was great. Thanks for sharing this with us.😀
I've missed the mashed potatoes recipe & have never heard of putting potatoes into boiling Water vs. cold water. But if that's the way Tom does it, I will definitely have to give it a try. Thanks for mentioning it. I've always loved chili in a nest of mashed potatoes! Or any other way. And I've never had grilled cheese with chili & I will have to try that, too.
I did enjoy it very much, my husband passed away Aug 2019 I sure miss him at my table. He was like Tom loved to cook and he did it well 😁.God Bless you both some day we may meet in our heavenly and have meal at the big table 🤍
It’s really about personal taste. We don’t care for the taste of the sauce so we drain them. Thank you for watching our video. We really appreciate it.
I’ve just started watching your channel, and I love it!! I love how you and Melissa keep coming up with recipes that are so especially useful and delicious. Congratulations on your growth over the past year!
I’m with you on that! Scraping all product out of all bowls and jars. Don’t waste anything. My Grandmothers and Mom were very adamant about not wasting food. . Even washing liquid detergent , dish or clothing. Rinse all jugs.
It's just way too expensive to be wasteful. We so appreciate that you watched our very first video ever for our channel. We had so much to learn at the time. We are by no means experts now, but we sure hope you have improved a bit over these 250 some videos! We love having you at the table with us.
We are so happy to hear this! We love it and we always enjoy chili this time of year! Thank you so much for watching - especially our very first video ever!
Looks and sounds delicious! I want to make this for Fall! I always add some big red kidney beans to our chili, but it's all good! Thank you for sharing this, I really enjoy all your videos!
This recipe is very similar to mine. I started adding a dash or two of cinnamon to my chili and was very pleasantly surprised. It makes so much difference to the flavor and takes it up a notch.
@cathylongstreth5405 There is just enough cinnamon to enhance the chili. You can taste something different, but there's is not enough of a cinnamon flavor to recognize it as such.
Several years ago I was making a pot of chili and I thought I got the chili powder. I was wrong. I grabbed the cinnamon but I only put a little in it before I smelled it. Then I added the chili powder as usual. I have to say it was the best chili I ever made. Now I always put a little cinnamon in it.
I'm so enjoying your cooking channel. Its fall here & still warm. Leaves aren't changing just yet! I'm looking forward to making this chili. Thank you Tom & Melissa.
So fun to see your debut episode! Hope you didn't get much flak from the anti-bean crowd - I'm pro-bean myself. I'm also a big "waste not, want not" guy. I got that from my great aunt via my mom, who was a child of the Great Depression. No wasted food at our house! Love your videos. ❤
Well I made your Chili and it turned out fantastic. I understand there are many versions of Chili but I must say that this is right up there in the top 3 all time. Thank you both for your channel. I will definitely keep checking and trying your recipes.
I always add green pepper and celery, but I know your wife doesn’t like celery. We like it and it really flavors the chili. I never drain my chili beans cause they have a seasoning on them. You could probably use a can of red beans or kidney beans instead. I always add sugar too!
@lynmichael7476 I always add a green bell pepper to my chili but I've never tried celery before. That sounds delicious I think I will try that I do love the smell of salt sauted celery and onions my favorite Kitchen scent. I've never heard of anyone putting celery in their chili but there's always a 1st Sounds yummy Also I've never heard of someone draining "chili" beans Only kidney beans 🙈 To each their own I guess! I never ever drain my chili beans tho..... That just wouldn't make sense Because it's got the chili flavor in it but I rarely use chili beans I I always use different variety of beans. Bt like i said...."to each their own" 🤷 I've never ever added sugar to my chili but that sounds so amazing I've heard of people doing it to spaghetti but I'm definitely gonna try it in my chili 😛
Love, love, love your, cooking show. And the way you explain how much food and each ingredient. Your excellent at what you do, thank you so much. Blessings to you and Melissa. Love your family stories also.
Iwas looking on your recipes and found the chili. Looks yummy like mine except tomato sauce I always drain the beans don't want the sauce in it and love the scraping of bowls ect I watch cooking chanels on tv and they leave alot left mabey they are oa time limit lol thanks for sharing God Bless
We are so appreciative that you watched our very first video. We had so much to learn when we did made this one! Thanks you so much for joining us at the table.
I had come across your channel recently and have been going through them, each recipe is exactly what I would eat. Today I was specifically looking for a chili recipe to can. I came to your channel and will make this chili. It looks delicious. Also, I watched your meatloaf recipe today, that’s at the top of my list. Thank you for taking the time to post.
You can use a little bit less tomato juice and/or just let the finished chili simmer over low heat for an hour or two (or until it gets as thick as you would like it.) I would just simmer mine down, I think. If you’re reducing the amount of tomato juice, you’re also reducing the amount of flavour.
I love chilli. I've never tried packaged chilli mix, but I'll take your word for it. I also add a can of rinsed & drained black beans to chilli because I really like them, plus the chilli beans. I am anxious to try your chilli. We went to two chilli cook-offs & I was shocked to see one with mushrooms, one without beans, one vegetarian, and, get ready.......one with chunks of pineapple. Some were actually bland & some were very spicy. I had a friend who invited me for lunch & she served "chilli", which was ground beef, a quarter of onion, 1 can of tomato soup, and a can of kidney beans. Needless to say, one bowl was enough! All 3 of my sons learned to cook. Thank you for your videos--------this ia about the 25th one I've watched. I found your channel this month 10/23.
I just discovered your channel a week ago. This is the 3rd recipe I've found. Made the the Derby pie a few days ago & my family loved it. Won't be making the Chili until it cools off here. I'm so ready for fall. Which is my favorite time of year. We live in Oklahoma & the heat is killing us right now. Anyway thanks so much for the recipe. 😊
I also build the tomato flavors in my soups and chili by using various tomato products! I use a little sugar to take the edge off tomatoes acidity! I use chili beans. dark and light red kidney beans and mild Rotel! Great recipe....for a crowd!❤❤
I'm making your sweet, and heat chili, now!!! It is delicious. I added a scant more sugar in mine. It is delicious!!! Thank you, tom, and melissa!!! Delish!!!, ohio.
@davemeiser2999 Hi....im in Ohio too! Their recipe doz sound amazing I wanna try it before it gets warm tho I NVR drain my chili beans bc its got the chili juice in it only my kidney beans. Also I will add couple more cans of variety of beans bc I luv them! I luvvvvvv tom/Melissa n their recipes! Their channel is 1 out of 5 of my top fav channels!
My father made the best chili i ever ate. He is gone now and i miss him greatly. I kept trying to make his chili and i could not get it to taste the same. I finely asked him what in the world i was doing wrong. He said are you using a lot of celery. I had not been adding any.🤦 He said that was his secret. I tried it and it was amazing. If you have never used celery in your chili just try it once. You will not believe the difference. We also use kidney beans. And we dont rinse them. The juice in there helps to thicken the chili. I have never used sugar. That is something i will have to try. Thank you for your recipe. Your channel is my absolute favorite.😊❤❤
Hi Tom & Melissa! I've been looking for a good chilli recipe and here it is! I subscribed to your channel about a month ago and very much enjoy it. I love the way you 2 interact and your recipes are always quite easy and yummy! Congratulations on your one year YT anniversary! 🎉👏 Thank you for sharing your table with us! ❤ from 🇨🇦
I've never mastered chili but this recipe sounded delicious and easy. Its October and here in North Mississippi irs beginning to get cool...finally. I'm making this recipe this weekend. Thinking wr might do this for church Wednesday night. Thanks for this recipe.
We hope you all love it like we do! We always enjoy what we call "chili weather" especially after the heat of summer finally relents! Thank you so much for watching our channel - this was our very first video and we are pleased to have you watching it on our one-year anniversary!
Yum, going to get this recipe in my menu for this week! I live in Northern Minnesota, and we are expecting the cold weather any day now! I live alone but I'll freeze it and share with my sister who lives nearby 😊.
I just saw your first video, the sweet and heat chili, and believe I’ll make it. I’ve just taken over the cooking in the family as my wife can’t do it any more. We’re both in our 80’s. I’m learning from TH-cam and have sort of zeroed in on your channel. I’ll be trying the timballo this week. The chili probably next week or so. You make so many good dishes that match our taste, I think we’ll be using a lot of them. Thank you for your contributions. Keep up the good work. Your first try is consistent with your current offerings. Very professionally done from the beginning. I’m glad you widened the format away from the cellphone look. How long did it take to reach 100,000 viewers? I see your at 170,000 now. Congratulations. Ron and Dee Kime, Virginia. Oh I found a new channel, our Texas hoestead, that has about the same recipe for timballo as yours. I think iwas their 5th or 6th like. They seem nice.
The reason stirring and stirring the hamburger breaks it up finely is because of the water that comes out of the meat. Adding some water to the ground beef does the same thing without ruining the Le Creuset dutch oven with that stainless spoon - the water eventually evaporates right out and a safe wooden spoon suffices.You're soooo lucky to have home canned tomato juice as I am aware of the work involved in canning. wow. Plus a splash of tiger sauce is awesome in chili beans, or even a hershey kiss to give it a mole taste, agree with the sugar, Mexene brand chili powder is better than any.Hope my view is welcomed.
Absolutely! You cannot believe how many wonderful tips and suggestions we've received from thoughtful viewers like you! We are so grateful! Thanks for the feedback and for watching our channel. This was our very first video and we were such novices! Not that we are experts now, but we have definitely learned so much since we made this first video and started our channel.
I have adjusted my chili recipe over the years. I love to learn other recipes and try variations to see if I like better. Looking forward to trying yours. Looks yummy 😋
Tom, the only time you don’t scrape the bowl nearly clean, is when your honey wants to finish what’s there. I agree with you about scraping it all out. I see so many on utube that leave way too much in the bowl to waste. Drives me nuts, too.
Looks really good but I’ve never had chili with sugar in it before. Looks delicious. I never drain my chili beans love that sauce in mine. Keep cooking.
I was unable to find the bell. But i am definitely subcribed. Love watching you cook and explain everything. Ive been watching your videos all morning.
I agree with you about adding sugar in your chili. I put it in most of my dishes where I'm using a lot of tomatoes and tomato sauces. It does enhance the flavors. I love all of your and Melissa's videos. Melissa does such a wonderful job with the videos and you as a cook (chef). Thank you for sharing.
We are delighted to read this! This was our very first video and we always feel so grateful to have people watching it. And to read that you've all loved the chili really makes us smile! Thank you so much for this comment.
My husband puts brown sugar in our chili, it is absolutely amazing! You should try it instead of regular sugar. With a side of honey butter corn bread. Ughh now he is gonna have to make up a big pot, especially since the weather is going to be nice this weekend. Might have to make us a pot over our camp fire, this weekend will be perfect time for camping and chili here in Kentucky!
That looks soooooo good! I know you are a great cook Tom. I am a cook and baker. I have watched a lot of your video’s I really enjoy them.. continue cooking and I will be watching. 😋
Hi Tom, so glad to see that your videographer Melissa is included in this video! We're new to your channel and have just recently begun watching. Everything we've seen you prepare is wonderful. We especially enjoy real-time preparations in the kitchen, without editing things out that don't go well. Those moments just add a larger enjoyment factor for us. Please keep doing what you're doing.
Welcome to our channel! We are so glad to have you joining us at the table. We try our best to present an honest, quality video that's not too distracting with our mistakes. We appreciate that you've watched our very first video. We were true novices with that one. Not that we are professionals now, but hopefully, we've learned a few things along the way!
I like extra fresh onions and grated cheese on top,and cornbread on the side Toasted cheese sandwiches too. Will try the other sides you suggested. I agree about the milk
I am still watching your videos ❤Hopefully I can get through all 10 months worth of videos ❤ I like the fact, that the ingredients that you use, are things that are in our kitchen already, simple ingredients ❤ God Bless and stay safe ❤ Hugs from Roswell, New Mexico ❤ You both are a beautiful, lovely couple ❤
Looks delicious! Thank you for sharing! I have one of those meat choppers and I use a rubber spatula to clean the raw meat as I cook. I love different types of chilies like chicken I recently made and it includes lots of minced garlic and onion, diced red pepper and near the end of cooking chopped zucchini. I always rinse my beans as well. I always put cheddar cheese on whichever chili I make and cornbread is a wonderful side
I so glad I found you, so many recipe's fast and easy for big crowd. Can't stop watching your video's. Now I have to write all down. Thanks for the great recipe's Keep going.
I make chili usually starting in October until February or March (if we're lucky) here in South Carolina. I hope this year is a longer winter because it's been just hotter than heck this summer!
I don’t understand why some people don’t like leftovers particularly chilies, stews, and soups
They’re always better the second or third day
also spaghetti
My husband always put cumin in his chili. The sugar cuts the acid in the tomatoes and makes it easier on digestive system. Good job
Thank you! We are very happy to have you watching our channel.
I do too, love that spice!
The chili seasoning he used (from McCormicks) has cumin in it.
I agree that the sugar will cut the acid from the tomatoes. I add sugar to my spaghetti sauce also.
To cook ground meat into fine pieces add a couple cups of water....it makes it easier to cook. When done drain off water with the fat.
Thank you so much for sharing your family recipes, for sharing “come sit at my table”. America needs more of this, God Bless , NY
Thank you so much for the kind words! We appreciate you watching our channel.

Love yr food
We agree! We love to enjoy a meal twice!
Your chili looks so amazing. I am for the sugar in it. It also drives me nuts when they don't scrape the bowl lol. Thank you so much.
I agree, my Mother taught me that you cleaned the bowls
I thought grandma Pyle always said waste not want not 😂 Gomer’s granny. Love this recipe!!! Looks delicious 😋
The proverb itself is traced back to Benjamin Franklin, but it is possible that Grandma Pyle quoted it!
@@comesitatmytable9044 That makes sense. Ole Ben was a genius 😊
I can't wait to try this recipe! Love me some chili - all sorts. Chili gets better day-by-day!
Thank you for sharing your recipe.
We are always excited to see someone has watched our very first video ever. Around here, we say fall is " chilli weather."
Ive NVR heard of Sumone draining/rinsing "chili" beans. 😱
I NVR do...bc they got the chili flavor n season in them 😲
Ive heard of draining/rinsing "kidney" beans tho n I do bt to each their own.
Binge watching since I became a new sub 4wks ago.
WOW 😳....first time I seen melissa.....shes gorgeous...nice to put a face with a name! 😉

Chili has lots of personality around our great country! Thank you for the feedback and for watching our video.
I'm from Texas & I like beans in my chili too. If you have a lot of mouths to feed it really stretches the chili.

I really like the idea of the sugar. Sweet and spicy works really well
After working in a restaurant, I learned not to waste anything in the kitchen
I use brown sugar and it does add so much flavor to the chili. For the 3 lbs of meat you are using , I would use 2 cans of kidney beans.
That’s the great thing about cooking. Everybody can make it to their own taste. We are not fans of kidney beans, but we love it with the chili beans. Thank you very much for watching our video. We appreciate it.
I just found your channel this week . I really love it. I put spicy V-8 juice in my chili . I can always have more vegetables in my diet . People can't tell the difference.
I use V-8 too. I also use brown sugar in chili (small amount)

Cornbread is great with chili!
There are so many excellent foods to pair with chili. Cornbread is at the top of the list! We also like PB&J, pimento cheese and firecrackers!
@@comesitatmytable9044Mexican cornbread is fabulous with chili.
Your wife is beautiful! Had never seen her before. I will probably make some chili tomorrow. My daughter and son in law are both sick, so this should hit the spot with them.
This chili looks delicious and glad it has sauce and not dry as other recipes. 👌
Drives me crazy when they don't scrape the bowls too. My parent went thru the Great Depression and were adamant we never wasted any food. A use was found for everything, including the fat drained from meat. Looks delicious!

Corn bread is really good with Chilli ... Your recipe sounds good and yummy ! 😊😋 Nothing like a good bowl of Chilli during the Fall and Winter Seasons ! 😊😋🥰
My all-time favorites... chili and cornbread... not sweet. Thank you so very much for "Come sit at my Table.
Am new to your channel and as a 76year old I love some of the things I never knew to do. Yes I also use some sugar in my chili. I also think it makes the chili taste better. Learned how to boil potatoes for the best mashed potatoes. Never knew to put them in boiling water instead of starting them in cold water. Did that tonight and it was great. Thanks for sharing this with us.😀
You are so welcome! We love having you at our table! Thank you so much for watching.
I've missed the mashed potatoes recipe & have never heard of putting potatoes into boiling Water vs. cold water. But if that's the way Tom does it, I will definitely have to give it a try. Thanks for mentioning it. I've always loved chili in a nest of mashed potatoes! Or any other way. And I've never had grilled cheese with chili & I will have to try that, too.
Yea....ive NVR ever heard adding Tara's to already boiled water but guess ill have to try tht!
I did enjoy it very much, my husband passed away Aug 2019 I sure miss him at my table. He was like Tom loved to cook and he did it well 😁.God Bless you both some day we may meet in our heavenly and have meal at the big table 🤍
That thick sauce has the seasoning. I never drain chili beans.
It’s really about personal taste. We don’t care for the taste of the sauce so we drain them.
Thank you for watching our video. We really appreciate it.
Run the beans under water and see what happens, you might change your mind. There's a reason why you should drain canned beans.
I drain and wash pinto beans but don’t chili beans.
I just found your channel yesterday and I so enjoy your videos. It feels as if I'm at a neighbors house❤
I can't imagine draining them - the sauce is so good and helps give the chili it's chili flavor!
I’ve just started watching your channel, and I love it!! I love how you and Melissa keep coming up with recipes that are so especially useful and delicious. Congratulations on your growth over the past year!
I’m with you on that! Scraping all product out of all bowls and jars. Don’t waste anything. My Grandmothers and Mom were very adamant about not wasting food. . Even washing liquid detergent , dish or clothing. Rinse all jugs.
It's just way too expensive to be wasteful. We so appreciate that you watched our very first video ever for our channel. We had so much to learn at the time. We are by no means experts now, but we sure hope you have improved a bit over these 250 some videos! We love having you at the table with us.
I made this Monday 10/09/2023. WOW it is awesome.
We are so happy to hear this! We love it and we always enjoy chili this time of year! Thank you so much for watching - especially our very first video ever!
Looks and sounds delicious! I want to make this for Fall! I always add some big red kidney beans to our chili, but it's all good! Thank you for sharing this, I really enjoy all your videos!
This recipe is very similar to mine. I started adding a dash or two of cinnamon to my chili and was very pleasantly surprised. It makes so much difference to the flavor and takes it up a notch.
Can you tell the cinnamon is in there by taste, or just the richness? I've always wanted to try it, but don't want to ruin a whole batch.
@cathylongstreth5405 There is just enough cinnamon to enhance the chili. You can taste something different, but there's is not enough of a cinnamon flavor to recognize it as such.
Several years ago I was making a pot of chili and I thought I got the chili powder. I was wrong. I grabbed the cinnamon but I only put a little in it before I smelled it. Then I added the chili powder as usual. I have to say it was the best chili I ever made. Now I always put a little cinnamon in it.
Interesting!
My big brother use to make his chili with "cinnamon" in it like skyline n it was yummy.
That’s what I like, soupy chili. I will definitely be making this. Thank you, Tom
I adore your videos and so enjoy watching you prepare your recipes. Keep up the great work guys!!😊
Nice
TOM I’ve been watching you for a while now. I’m glad I’m seeing your first video of chili. I enjoy your recipes.
I'm so enjoying your cooking channel.
Its fall here & still warm. Leaves aren't changing just yet!
I'm looking forward to making this chili.
Thank you Tom & Melissa.
So fun to see your debut episode! Hope you didn't get much flak from the anti-bean crowd - I'm pro-bean myself. I'm also a big "waste not, want not" guy. I got that from my great aunt via my mom, who was a child of the Great Depression. No wasted food at our house! Love your videos. ❤
Thank you so much for watching our very first video and all the encouraging words! We really do appreciate it.
I'm with you. It ain't chili without the beans!
I have trouble with 3 pounds of meat to 1 can of beans! My hubs would love that, as he is not a big bean fan, but beans stretch the meat!😂
Left over chili and stew are my two favorite breakfasts. As you say always better one or two or three days down the road. Truly love your channel.
Love your shows!
Well I made your Chili and it turned out fantastic. I understand there are many versions of Chili but I must say that this is right up there in the top 3 all time. Thank you both for your channel. I will definitely keep checking and trying your recipes.
I always add green pepper and celery, but I know your wife doesn’t like celery. We like it and it really flavors the chili. I never drain my chili beans cause they have a seasoning on them. You could probably use a can of red beans or kidney beans instead. I always add sugar too!
The tastiest chili sauce I ever made was then ruined by adding canned beans not rinsed. Flavor? No.
It’s really a matter of taste preference. We just don’t care for that flavor.
@lynmichael7476
I always add a green bell pepper to my chili but I've never tried celery before. That sounds delicious I think I will try that I do love the smell of salt sauted celery and onions my favorite Kitchen scent.
I've never heard of anyone putting celery in their chili but there's always a 1st Sounds yummy
Also I've never heard of someone draining "chili" beans Only kidney beans 🙈
To each their own I guess!
I never ever drain my chili beans tho..... That just wouldn't make sense Because it's got the chili flavor in it but I rarely use chili beans I I always use different variety of beans.
Bt like i said...."to each their own" 🤷
I've never ever added sugar to my chili but that sounds so amazing I've heard of people doing it to spaghetti but I'm definitely gonna try it in my chili 😛
Love, love, love your, cooking show. And the way you explain how much food and each ingredient. Your excellent at what you do, thank you so much. Blessings to you and Melissa. Love your family stories also.
I agree soups and stews always taste better the second day cuz all that melts in there together😊
Cooked this today and I have to say this was the best Chili I have eaten! My husband went back for 2nds. It is 5 stars ⭐️ Eating again tomorrow!!!!
We’re so glad you made this and enjoyed it. Thank you so much for letting us know!
I totally agree with you about folks who do not scrape bowls well! Drives me crazy!! Such a waste!!
Iwas looking on your recipes and found the chili. Looks yummy like mine except tomato sauce I always drain the beans don't want the sauce in it and love the scraping of bowls ect I watch cooking chanels on tv and they leave alot left mabey they are oa time limit lol thanks for sharing God Bless
We are so appreciative that you watched our very first video. We had so much to learn when we did made this one! Thanks you so much for joining us at the table.
I had come across your channel recently and have been going through them, each recipe is exactly what I would eat. Today I was specifically looking for a chili recipe to can. I came to your channel and will make this chili. It looks delicious. Also, I watched your meatloaf recipe today, that’s at the top of my list. Thank you for taking the time to post.
You are very welcome. Chili was our very first recipe on our channel. It's always exciting for us to see someone has watched it. Have a great evening!
@@comesitatmytable9044 I’ll keep you posted!
Great recipe! Thank you. I always put a can of drained whole corn niblets in my chili. So good! Also, I make my chili much thicker.
Just read your comments and ask you how do you make the chili thicker?
I think I prefer my chili thicker but not sure how to do it?
You can use a little bit less tomato juice and/or just let the finished chili simmer over low heat for an hour or two (or until it gets as thick as you would like it.)
I would just simmer mine down, I think. If you’re reducing the amount of tomato juice, you’re also reducing the amount of flavour.
@@LauraMacMillan-cp9yk
Thank you. Will try that. 😊
You could make a paste out of a little water and corn starch (or Masa) and stir that in to thicken stews or chili.
Enjoy your show very informative
I love chilli. I've never tried packaged chilli mix, but I'll take your word for it. I also add a can of rinsed & drained black beans to chilli because I really like them, plus the chilli beans. I am anxious to try your chilli. We went to two chilli cook-offs & I was shocked to see one with mushrooms, one without beans, one vegetarian, and, get ready.......one with chunks of pineapple. Some were actually bland & some were very spicy. I had a friend who invited me for lunch & she served "chilli", which was ground beef, a quarter of onion, 1 can of tomato soup, and a can of kidney beans. Needless to say, one bowl was enough! All 3 of my sons learned to cook. Thank you for your videos--------this ia about the 25th one I've watched. I found your channel this month 10/23.
I just discovered your channel
a week ago.
This is the 3rd recipe I've found.
Made the the Derby pie a few days ago &
my family loved it.
Won't be making the Chili until it cools off here. I'm so ready for fall. Which is my favorite time of year.
We live in Oklahoma & the heat is killing us right now. Anyway
thanks so much for the recipe. 😊
I also build the tomato flavors in my soups and chili by using various tomato products! I use a little sugar to take the edge off tomatoes acidity! I use chili beans. dark and light red kidney beans and mild Rotel! Great recipe....for a crowd!❤❤
I'm making your sweet, and heat chili, now!!! It is delicious. I added a scant more sugar in mine. It is delicious!!! Thank you, tom, and melissa!!! Delish!!!, ohio.
So glad to hear you made it tonight. We love it, especially when the temperatures drop!
@davemeiser2999
Hi....im in Ohio too!
Their recipe doz sound amazing I wanna try it before it gets warm tho I NVR drain my chili beans bc its got the chili juice in it only my kidney beans.
Also I will add couple more cans of variety of beans bc I luv them!
I luvvvvvv tom/Melissa n their recipes!
Their channel is 1 out of 5 of my top fav channels!
My father made the best chili i ever ate. He is gone now and i miss him greatly. I kept trying to make his chili and i could not get it to taste the same. I finely asked him what in the world i was doing wrong. He said are you using a lot of celery. I had not been adding any.🤦 He said that was his secret. I tried it and it was amazing. If you have never used celery in your chili just try it once. You will not believe the difference. We also use kidney beans. And we dont rinse them. The juice in there helps to thicken the chili. I have never used sugar. That is something i will have to try. Thank you for your recipe. Your channel is my absolute favorite.😊❤❤
We appreciate you sharing your dad’s secret. We really appreciate you watching our channel!
Another wonderful recipe. Wonderful.
I love chunky hamburger meat! In chili, you’ve got beans, chunky tomatoes, lots of texture which makes chili taste better!!
Thank you for watching our video and for the feedback. We love to hear from people who enjoy food like we do.
It's good with soy mince too. 😊
Wonderful recipe, my new favorite chili! Thank you for sharing 😊
It’s absolutely delicious, we all love it!!
Hi Tom & Melissa! I've been looking for a good chilli recipe and here it is! I subscribed to your channel about a month ago and very much enjoy it. I love the way you 2 interact and your recipes are always quite easy and yummy! Congratulations on your one year YT anniversary! 🎉👏 Thank you for sharing your table with us! ❤ from 🇨🇦
I've never mastered chili but this recipe sounded delicious and easy. Its October and here in North Mississippi irs beginning to get cool...finally. I'm making this recipe this weekend. Thinking wr might do this for church Wednesday night. Thanks for this recipe.
We hope you all love it like we do! We always enjoy what we call "chili weather" especially after the heat of summer finally relents! Thank you so much for watching our channel - this was our very first video and we are pleased to have you watching it on our one-year anniversary!
Please add me to your list to recieve every thing you cook.
I put sugar in any tomato sauce dish. My Grandma made it that way. It's great.
Love the tip with the hamburger! Always enjoy the stories!! Looks delicious 😋
Yum, going to get this recipe in my menu for this week! I live in Northern Minnesota, and we are expecting the cold weather any day now! I live alone but I'll freeze it and share with my sister who lives nearby 😊.
I just saw your first video, the sweet and heat chili, and believe I’ll make it. I’ve just taken over the cooking in the family as my wife can’t do it any more. We’re both in our 80’s. I’m learning from TH-cam and have sort of zeroed in on your channel. I’ll be trying the timballo this week. The chili probably next week or so. You make so many good dishes that match our taste, I think we’ll be using a lot of them. Thank you for your contributions. Keep up the good work. Your first try is consistent with your current offerings. Very professionally done from the beginning. I’m glad you widened the format away from the cellphone look. How long did it take to reach 100,000 viewers? I see your at 170,000 now. Congratulations. Ron and Dee Kime, Virginia. Oh I found a new channel, our Texas hoestead, that has about the same recipe for timballo as yours. I think iwas their 5th or 6th like. They seem nice.
I just recently discovered your channel and have enjoyed binge watching. Keep on being you.
I love the flavor it gives the chilli.
The reason stirring and stirring the hamburger breaks it up finely is because of the water that comes out of the meat. Adding some water to the ground beef does the same thing without ruining the Le Creuset dutch oven with that stainless spoon - the water eventually evaporates right out and a safe wooden spoon suffices.You're soooo lucky to have home canned tomato juice as I am aware of the work involved in canning. wow. Plus a splash of tiger sauce is awesome in chili beans, or even a hershey kiss to give it a mole taste, agree with the sugar, Mexene brand chili powder is better than any.Hope my view is welcomed.
Absolutely! You cannot believe how many wonderful tips and suggestions we've received from thoughtful viewers like you! We are so grateful! Thanks for the feedback and for watching our channel. This was our very first video and we were such novices! Not that we are experts now, but we have definitely learned so much since we made this first video and started our channel.
It's very interesting to see the changes from your first video to your current videos.
I have adjusted my chili recipe over the years. I love to learn other recipes and try variations to see if I like better. Looking forward to trying yours. Looks yummy 😋
I have one of those Pampered Chef choppers and lots of other stuff. Love it.
We enjoy the Pampered Chef’s products as well. Thank you for watching our video. We really appreciate it.
Tom, the only time you don’t scrape the bowl nearly clean, is when your honey wants to finish what’s there. I agree with you about scraping it all out. I see so many on utube that leave way too much in the bowl to waste. Drives me nuts, too.
I LOVE chili! I agree that you cant have too much onion in chili. You do an amazing job!
Looks really good but I’ve never had chili with sugar in it before. Looks delicious. I never drain my chili beans love that sauce in mine. Keep cooking.
Thanks for your nice message! We appreciate you watching.
I use brown sugar in my chili and spaghetti sauce too.
RIGHT..NEVER DRAIN THE BEANS..MUCH FLAVOR IN THAT SAUCE.
I was unable to find the bell. But i am definitely subcribed. Love watching you cook and explain everything. Ive been watching your videos all morning.
I agree with you about adding sugar in your chili. I put it in most of my dishes where I'm using a lot of tomatoes and tomato sauces. It does enhance the flavors.
I love all of your and Melissa's videos. Melissa does such a wonderful job with the videos and you as a cook (chef).
Thank you for sharing.
I'm going to try this tonight. Been thinking of what to make for supper, and now I know what I'm fixing. Thank y'all.
Very nice enjoy
We ALL loved this chili..even my almost 8 year grandson..!! He will be 8 April 27th. So I WILL be making this again..!! Thank you for sharing it.
We are delighted to read this! This was our very first video and we always feel so grateful to have people watching it. And to read that you've all loved the chili really makes us smile! Thank you so much for this comment.
My husband puts brown sugar in our chili, it is absolutely amazing! You should try it instead of regular sugar. With a side of honey butter corn bread. Ughh now he is gonna have to make up a big pot, especially since the weather is going to be nice this weekend. Might have to make us a pot over our camp fire, this weekend will be perfect time for camping and chili here in Kentucky!
We always look forward to fall in Kentucky. (Winter, not so much.) We hope you enjoy this recipe. And happy camping!
Been watching for a while now and love all your recipes. So glad to have come across this one. Thank you for welcoming us into your home.
You are just a natural!! Love this video!!!! ❤
I love the look of this recipe but I like more chili beans. Can’t wait to try this. Thanks.
I think of Chili all year, love Chili and Chili recipes.
Yesssss!
I luv trying diff recipes!
That looks soooooo good! I know you are a great cook Tom. I am a cook and baker. I have watched a lot of your video’s I really enjoy them.. continue cooking and I will be watching. 😋
Hi Tom, so glad to see that your videographer Melissa is included in this video! We're new to your channel and have just recently begun watching. Everything we've seen you prepare is wonderful. We especially enjoy real-time preparations in the kitchen, without editing things out that don't go well. Those moments just add a larger enjoyment factor for us. Please keep doing what you're doing.
Welcome to our channel! We are so glad to have you joining us at the table. We try our best to present an honest, quality video that's not too distracting with our mistakes. We appreciate that you've watched our very first video. We were true novices with that one. Not that we are professionals now, but hopefully, we've learned a few things along the way!
Your first video and you're quickly heading towards 100K subscribers! Congrats - well done
I like extra fresh onions and grated cheese on top,and cornbread on the side Toasted cheese sandwiches too. Will try the other sides you suggested. I agree about the milk
Glad you put all the onions in.
I am still watching your videos ❤Hopefully I can get through all 10 months worth of videos ❤ I like the fact, that the ingredients that you use, are things that are in our kitchen already, simple ingredients ❤ God Bless and stay safe ❤ Hugs from Roswell, New Mexico ❤
You both are a beautiful, lovely couple ❤
Thank you so much for the kind comments. We appreciate your support and encouragement. It’s so nice to have you watching from New Mexico!
All the dishes you make look so delicious & they're simple to make. 😊
So so glad yall made this channel ❤ My favorite cooking 🥘 channel 👊😎
Looks delicious! Thank you for sharing! I have one of those meat choppers and I use a rubber spatula to clean the raw meat as I cook. I love different types of chilies like chicken I recently made and it includes lots of minced garlic and onion, diced red pepper and near the end of cooking chopped zucchini. I always rinse my beans as well. I always put cheddar cheese on whichever chili I make and cornbread is a wonderful side
I so glad I found you, so many recipe's fast and easy for big crowd. Can't stop watching your video's. Now I have to write all down. Thanks for the great recipe's Keep going.
We are delighted to have you at the table with us and we hope you can watch and enjoy every single recipe on our channel. Have a wonderful day.
This is close to what I make, but I'm going to make your chili exactly your way. Thanks for your recipes!
Love watching your videos! Will be trying your recipes!
Guess I watched before but couldn't find my recipe got it again going to make this soon fall is here chili time ❤❤ ty for sharing God Bless 🙏🙏❤
You are so welcome! We love this chili and this is definitely the time of year we enjoy it the most!
I have to make this when it’s a little cooler here in Florida. You look like my father and I enjoy the memories of cooking for him
We think this is a perfect fall meal. We have a local festival called Court Day each October and it's tradition for us to make chili for that.
I make chili usually starting in October until February or March (if we're lucky) here in South Carolina. I hope this year is a longer winter because it's been just hotter than heck this summer!
You Folks Are So Genuine. Gonna try this one !
