Well whats your favorite way to make chili? I am going to conjure my own creation tomorrow. I am making something that hopefully no one has tasted before:

Pepper Bacon
Pepperoni
Crab meat

I am using all 3 of those meats. Hopefully no one dies

Hmmm... interesting ingredients. I haven't made chili in quite a long time. I'll have to do that soon.

Hmm.. sounds odd enough to be really darn good. Wanna hear how this turned out!

Although I'd figure the best bet would be to add the crab-meat in at the end sorta crumbled-up. Stewed too long and it'd probably just dissolve, get stringy, and lose its flavor.

I know James have famous OGR Chili Recipe

Thanks for that info. I'm not a cook by any means, and have never cooked crab. I have been pondering on if I should limit my meats to just bacon and pepperoni, since crab has the potential to go bad if it sits too long or drops below the right temperature.

I spent about an hour simply peeling a garlic clove and finely mincing it myself with a chef knife and one of those rocker knife thingys. As well as mincing up a bunch of pepperoni and Havarti cheese

Yes im going to bed proud tonight, I'll be having fun in the laboratory...er kitchen tomorrow

After eating this chili....going to bed will be proudly stinky.

Crab spoils fast if uncooked, so unless you just pulled your crab out of the ocean, it will already be cooked by the time it gets to the grocery store.

Your best bet is to not think cook, think reheat, as more cooking will turn the crab meat into rubber. Steaming works very effectively with it.

Well my chili was a success. People liked it, and it almost all got eaten (i had 100 oz.)

First off i used Hormel beanless chili as a base. next time i'll make my own

I minced up 1/4 lb of pepperoni and fried a 1 lb pack of pepper bacon, then minced up all that bacon and pepperoni and dumped it all in the chili, I also used 1 clove of garlic and the typical spices you put in chili (Cumin, sage, chili powder, etc.) I used 1 single chipotle pepper (w/ seeds removed to reduce hotness) and I used 2 oz extra virgin olive oil. I topped a few bowls with chopped Havarti cheese.

I cant remember what else I put in it, but it was good and acted as a tranquilizer.
