Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I like good chili, but I don't want to go to the time and trouble to make it from scratch. Any suggestions for an acceptable canned product, something that the dog won't turn her nose up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Yep! Wolf is pretty much all that we’ll eat out of a can!! You can put some appropriate spices in as you warm it up and it ain’t bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Grab ya’ a pack of Nathan’s Colossal all beef hotdogs, some chopped red onion, spicy queso dip, and a can of Wolf’s chili and enjoy the best chili dogs you’ve ever had!! I broil the dogs, chop some fresh peppers into the queso and get it good ‘n’ hot, toast the hotdog buns, (I like the buns that’re split on top) and put it all together with the onion sprinkled on top. Some Hines spicy brown or some Grey Poupon will really set it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I have never had Wolf brand chili. I will have to look for that. I have had Stagg brand chili. For canned chili it’s really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schoolmarm makes a quick chili from scratch that’s better than any canned. I make contest level chili every couple of years, but it takes nearly a week to cut, slice, and marinate all the meats and chop and prepare the peppers and onions and prepare the seasonings. It takes a whole day just to cook it all down. ‘Course, we’re talking about four or five gallons of chili! A good canned chili is a necessity at our house!!

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Canned chili all sucks. Period. If I make chili dogs or frito pie I prefer Hormel. I don't think it sucks QUITE as bad as Wolf brand but canned chili in general is low grade dog food. JMHO JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 This is one where I'm going to have to suggest making it yourself rather than opening a can. It's almost as easy as opening that can and stirring it so it doesn't scorch. In the meat department you should be able to find a coarsely chopped beef., or you could go to a local Mexican market and get some. Go to the produce section and pick up a pack of chopped onions, and from the canned foods aisle a box of Carroll Shelby's Chili Kit. Throw the meat and onions in a pot, brown the meat, add the Chili Fixings. Takes about 15 minutes. Of course, better the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessee Trapper Tom Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Wolf brand chili without bean is the only one I’ll eat. Black water is dead on. It makes the best chili dog you’ll ever eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noah Mercy, SASS #29066 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Wolf Angus Beef no-bean is hands down excellent chili. A dash of Horsetooth Smokestack Lightning makes it so good, you won't believe it's from a can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. James H. Callahan Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 40 you might check out frozen chili. Texas Chili Co. comes to mind, there are probably others. Costs considerably more but it is better. Still not good, but better. I grew up eating my mama's and now I make my own, it's not hard. I have been known to make my own even for chili dogs.

Chili Ron Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Howdy, First and best idea....freeze a cup or three of your next batch. Having a couple containers ready is a comfort. Wendys is fine in a pinch. Maybe freeze a container of it for the next snowstorm? Add a bit of your spices maybe? Now there is a book of chili recipes which includes instant chili. They list cooking burger and dropping in a can of various . If I find that book I will add the list. It looks unimpressive but is good and so very fast. Chili should be available 31.

Trigger Mike Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Armor chili is good as is bunker hill chili sauce. If bunker hill is mixed with beef patty it taste similar to the Varsity chili burger. for a cheap meal: line a casserole dish with hormel tamales and cover with 2 cans armor chili and bake for 20 minutes then cover with cheese and crumbled crackers and bake at 350 for 2 minutes and the whole family eats cheap.

I have used a vacuum bagger/sealer to freeze homemade chili, lasagna sauce, spaghetti and the like. Do it like any other food except that I leave the tongue a little longer to make sure the liquid in bag is lower than the sealer. Works great and since all of the air is removed, there's no freezer frost. Throw it in a sink of water to thaw and wallah, home made chili, lasagna sauce, spaghetti sauce/etc. in minutes.
