Chili!

[Indemnity]

I just made some homemade chili not more than a week ago. Nothing really out of the ordinary with my chile recipe versus anyone elses though so I won't get into the entire ingredient list. I will say that I used cubed tri-tip this time rather than sirloin and it turned out really really well. I also used the asian chile sauce (sriracha) to supplement my heat which was mainly because I didn't have the time to track down some good chiles, but it turned out good (adds quite a bit of garlic to it which I don't mind). I also added cinnamon to it to see what kind of effect it had on the taste profile. Not much unfortunately but you could sure smell it whenever you took the lid off. :D Finally, you can't make a small amount of chili, that's just how it goes, so a couple days later I took the rest of the leftovers and made a make-shift casserole/bake. I took my castiron skillet, diced up a 2 green bellpeppers, 1 whole sweet onion, and 3 tomatoes, which I then sauteed and added my chile too. Next I poured two boxes worth of Jiffy Corn Bread mix over it and baked it at 350 for about 25 minutes. Turned out great. Next time I make chili I won't be covering the cubed tri-tip with flour because it made it too thick for my taste.

What kind of beans do you guys use for your chili? I went with pinto and red but next time I just going to do red. The pinto beans didn't taste like chili beans should.
