Okay fine... I'll post my award winning recipe... I’ve never written it down and I don't have measurements because I don't measure. So take it the way it is...
Meat:
Ground Pork
Ground Beef
Bacon
Shredded Chicken
Veggies and peppers:
Onion
Tomatoes
Minced Roasted Garlic
Jalapeno
Habanero
Poblano
Serrano
Red Bell
Yellow Bell
A can of Chipotles (chopped) in Adobo sauce… You can find it in the “Ethnic” section.
Beans:
Whatever you want. Sometimes I use them. Sometimes I don’t. They’re just filler.
Spices:
Salt
Pepper
Green Curry Powder
Red Curry Powder
Chili powder
Smoked Paprika
Chipotle Powder
Extras:
Guinness
Dr. Pepper
Okay… lets put this shit together.
The chicken comes first. Use one package of breasts. A pound I guess. I do it the day before so I can chill it down because it’s easier to shred when it’s cold. Season the shit out of it with the chili powder and salt and pepper. Bake it at 250 for no less then three hours. It’ll kick ass. Trust me. Wrap it up and toss it in the fridge over night.
Next day. Early. Cook off an entire package of bacon. Set aside the bacon. KEEP THE GREASE. Eat two pieces of bacon to get you by. There is no way to make bacon and not eat it. But don’t eat it all. You need it.
Chop all the veggies. Including the chipotles from the can but set those aside. DO NOT include with the rest of the veggies. Take the lovely bacon grease from before and pour it in a large skillet. Let it heat up a little, just till you see a little smoke. Add the veggies. Add a little salt and pepper. Not too much. Sauté till you get a little browning. If you go too far, the tomatoes will get all fucked up and gross. So add them in last… maybe a few minutes after the rest. Set aside. Enjoy the smell. Taste. Love it. Touch yourself.
Cook off the beef and pork. Salt and pepper to taste. Drain the grease… don’t keep. Set aside meat. Brag to your neighbors about how good of a cook you are.
Shred chicken. Wash hands.
Now we must talk about which pot to use. Now it depends on how much you’re making but I will always lean towards my slow cooker/Croc-Pot. It really is the best way to go. If you’re gonna use your slow cooker be sure to pre-heat it. If not… blow me.
At this point it’s pretty easy. Add everything to the pot of your choice. (Slow cooker.) That includes the bacon from before. Just break it up into little pieces. If you’re using canned beans you really need to drain the liquid. It’s gross. Bring to a boil. This is why you need to pre-heat your slow cooker. If you don’t it will take an hour to bring all this to a boil. Once it’s at a boil turn it down as low as it can go and let it simmer for no less then four hours. Taste it along the way. Invite friends. Buy Pepto.
Best served with Corona and rugby games.
