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!!!
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
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!
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 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!
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’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 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 🤍
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.
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! 😉
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.
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 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. 😊
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 🇨🇦
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. ❤
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.
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 ! 😊😋🥰
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!
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 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.
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.
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 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 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.
I love the way you clean as you go & scrape your bowls completely!! My mother taught me to clean my bowls completely and peel as little potato skins as possible when peeling potatoes. I agree with "waste not want not" 100%. I have thoroughly enjoyed all your videos. You talking slow I like also!!!! Jodie from WEST Virginia the Mountain and friendly state. God bless you two.
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.
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!
Welcome to RU-vid! 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????
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!
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 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 ❤
I lover your videos, the way you slowly tell us what we need to cook, You and your wife does a great job and i get all the ingredients watching once instead of watching over and over, so thank you so much for doing this slowly so ones like myself can follow you.
We really appreciate your kind words. You have no idea how much that means to us and encourages us. Tom is on this channel as he was in the classroom. He's always been a wonderful teacher.
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!
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’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.
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. 😋
Thanks Tom and Melissa for the great recipe. This is so simple to do and is so good that it will help the wallet and the body at the same time. It's a long way from starvation with this awesome recipe. Stay safe, Fred.
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
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.
I think aside from browning the ground beef I’ll be throwing this in a crockpot pot and let it marry all day long 😁…. Yum…. I love leftovers & also get so annoyed when people don’t scrape the bowls clean 🤨🤨🤨🤨😂😂😂
Love this chli, just made it. Waiting for it to cook and it smells wonderful! I did add green pepper to mine and some stewed tomatoes with hot salsa, I didn't have Rotella sauce. Thank you Tom & Melissa, love you both. Keep these recipes coming in. Have a Blessed day❤😊
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!
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.
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.😊❤❤
Oh my goodness! I love chili and this recipe looks amazing! It will go very well with this. I have to add the ingredients to this week’s grocery order. Thank you for sharing this. 👩🏼🍳
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.
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 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.
How exciting to find your first post! I love your channel. Red gold is my favorite too! I use 1/2 cup salsa verde in my chili, no sugar. Pretty much your same recipe with 2 cans bush chili beans. My dad did most of the cooking too. I have begun scraping my bowls better since watching you!grilled pb&j is so good.
This was our first video ever! We’ve learned so much since we started and we are always grateful to have a viewer watch this one! We hope you find many more recipes to enjoy on our channel.
I love your videos/recipes!!! The first time I watched one and you scraped all the cans and containers, I was hooked!!! It drives me crazy too when cooks leave all the food behind. I’ve made a lot of your recipes and keep up with your videos daily. I tell my husband I wish we were neighbors because I just love you both , you seem so kind and genuine and down to earth, our kind of folks. Happy New Year❤
It's so nice to hear from you! Thanks so much for your encouraging comment and we are thrilled you are watching our videos. This chili was our very first video and we had so much to learn. We are by no means experts now, but we sure hope we've improved some since we started.
@@comesitatmytable9044 you both are doing a great job!! Your humility and genuine spirits make every video feel like I’ve known you forever 🥰. I feel like I’m right in your kitchen with you. We live in Dover(Little Creek), Delaware.
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
