chili without cayenne pepper.

it's not just the heat. it's the flavor. it adds so much. omitting it should be a capital offense.
 

6 rounded Tbsp of Chili Powder
3 rounded Tbsp of Paprika
½ tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Cumin
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tsp salt
1 large onion, chopped
1 lb chopped sirloin
1 lb pork sausage (hot) or 1 lb. medium chopped pork and 1 teaspoon dried chopped hot pepper
3/4 cup red cooking wine or one 12 oz beer
one 14 oz can of chicken broth and one 14 oz can of beef broth
Three Habanero peppers, grilled, peeled, seeds removed and chopped fine.

Brown meat in large stock pot. Add all seasonings and water and simmer for 1 hour
Mix 3 Tbsp. flour and 6 Tbsp. cornmeal with 1 pint of water. Stir into the chili, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Simmer for

The flavor is best if you let it sit a day then reheat.

You can add beans, but I wouldn't ruin a good chili by adding beans.

Cayenne for the weak.

th

Jolokia pepper well fix any all problems
 
No, need cominos

You can always find a substitute for cayenne. But, it's not chili unless you include cominos
 
The key to good chili is to layer the spices. 3 batches usually gets it right. Do the first one as the meat is finishing browning. Then add the second after you get the juicy stuff in. Last batch goes in 15 minutes before serving. The funny thing about cayenne is that it is a favor enhancer. It ties the other flavors together.
 
there used to be a place in florida called the chili bordello. i really miss that place, for obvious reasons.
 
It does add a good flavor I love making chilli. Hot is good but when its just hot for the sake of being hot I don't care much for it. Its kind of why I don't care for most buffalo wings I've had they tend to be hot just to be hot and lack any real flavor. On occasion I;ve had some decent ones. What I really want to get my hands on for my next batch of chilli is some ghost peppers.
