AFTERBURNER CHILI



Afterburner Chili image

I developed this recipe while I was in the U.S. Navy stationed at NAS Whidbey Island, attached to the World Famous VA-165 Boomers as an AQ. Although the A6-E Intruder did not have afterburners, I am sure you will think the name is appropriate after you have a bowlful. Afterburner Chili was created in response to my best friend's (Deli) challenge that an Iowa boy can't out chili a Texan. He stood corrected! After he went screaming to the sink. Ha! Ha! Ha! This, at least for me, is definitely a Winter dish. I now live in Florida and do not make it as often as it does not get cold enough for this chili. When my Canadian wife {Loon Lake, Sask.} and I were in college in Iowa she used it as study food.

Time 2h15m

Yield 10-12 oz. bowls, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb hot Italian sausage
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (70/30 or 80/20)
6 -8 cups tomato juice (more if you like your chili thinner) or 6 -8 cups v 8 vegetable juice (more if you like your chili thinner)
2 ounces ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
4 -6 ounces chili powder
2 ounces Tabasco sauce (Original recipe, the whole 2 oz. bottle)
12 ounces jalapenos, sliced with juice (in jar, not drained)
2 (30 ounce) cans hot chili beans (not drained)
1 (8 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained (or to taste)
1 -2 large white onion, coarsely chopped (according to your taste)
3 -5 garlic cloves (smashed, but kept whole, to taste)
1 large bay leaf
1/8-1/4 teaspoon dave's insanity hot sauce (to taste, this is the Afterburner part)
1/2 teaspoon dave's temporary insanity hot sauce (for the meek and mild)

Steps:

  • Start by browning the ground beef first. Drain, then rinse with hot water. Brown your sausage separately, and drain, but DO NOT rinse with hot water.
  • WARNING! Do not use a pan/pot coated with Teflon this chili eats Teflon!
  • While browning your meats, pour the tomato juice or V-8 in to your Dutch oven or cast iron pot. Bring to a simmer.
  • Mix in the ground red, white, and black pepper as well as the salt & chili powder into the tomato/V8 juice. Then add the whole 2 oz. bottle of Tabasco, the entire jar of jalapeños with juice, and 2 cans of undrained hot chili beans.
  • Now add the browned meats and stir to mix well.
  • Add mushrooms, onions, smashed garlic and bay leaf then stir.
  • *WARNING!* DO NOT use both types of Dave's Insanity sauce!
  • Lastly add the Dave's Insanity Sauce or Dave's Temporary Insanity Sauce, once again, and mix extremely well.
  • Place the lid on your pot and keep on a low simmer for two (2) hours stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
  • After two (2) hours remove lid and inhale deeply through the nose. If your eyes and mouth water then it is done. If not, then stir and let it simmer another thirty (30) minutes to one (1) hour stirring cassionally. Remove bay leaf and serve.
  • The usual accompaniments are either my Dad's favorite, a Peanut Butter Roll, which is just creamy PB on a single slice of bread, rolled up, then dipped it into the chili along with a chunk of white onion on the side to eat like an apple.
  • Or a simple Grilled Cheese sandwich on the side made with bread & cheese(s) of your choosing.
  • Also goes well served Mount Baker Style on top of spaghetti with copious amounts of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Enjoy!

RON'S AFTERBURNER MEXICAN HOT SAUCE



Ron's Afterburner Mexican Hot Sauce image

Light up your life with the best hot sauce you'll ever taste. This sauce is simmilar to Pico Pica. I like it because it can be used on any food requiring a little nip to the tongue. I love Pico Pica but it's hard to find in the Midwest. Soooooo, after a lot of research, I decided to make my own tasty hot sauce. Try it. If you are a hot sauce lover, you'll like this one. There are two versions. The original, made with dried red chili peppers and the one for the brave at heart, made with Habanero's.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 small to medium spaghetti squash (2-3 pounds each)
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (divided + more to taste)
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper + more to taste
1 cup diced onion (about ½ medium onion)
1 cup diced green pepper (about 1 medium pepper)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 2 small cloves)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes in tomato puree
1 14.5 ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (plain diced tomatoes work too)
1 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed (or about 1 3/4 cups cooked beans)
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed (or about 1 3/4 cups cooked beans)
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (8 ounces)
Optional toppings such as: sour cream (Greek yogurt, chopped avocado, cilantro leaves, fresh tomato, and/or chopped scallions)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line one large or two medium rimmed cookie sheets with parchment paper or foil.
  • Lop off the top of the spaghetti squash and cut it in half lengthwise. With a spoon, scrape out the seeds. Brush the cut side of each half with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Dust with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place cut-side down on cookie sheet(s) and bake until tender and the squash can easily be pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes. You can also microwave the spaghetti squash if you need dinner on the table faster. Here's how to cook spaghetti squash in the microwave, along with full instructions on prepping and cooking it both ways.
  • While the spaghetti squash cooks, make the chili. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil into a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, green peppers, and oregano and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne and cook, stirring constantly, for one minute. Add the tomatoes and beans and stir to combine. Cook until it starts to bubble (be careful, it may splatter because it's so thick) then reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes, until heated through. Set aside.
  • When spaghetti squash are done cooking, flip them over. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the cheese in the bottom of each half. Fill to the top with chili and top each with remaining cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve with assorted toppings.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, ripe vegetables, flavorful spices, and high-quality meat or beans. This will make a big difference in the overall taste of your chili.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make chili, so feel free to adjust the ingredients and spices to suit your own taste. You can add more or less heat, different vegetables, or different types of beans.
  • Let the chili simmer for a while: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include cheese, sour cream, onions, and avocado.

Conclusion:
