    You don’t have any chili powder in this, do you?

    No sir, just did my own combined seasonings.

    Even if you use a chili paste rather than a powder, it’s important to use DRIED chiles in your base, while fresh chiles can be added as enhancers. The flavor of Ancho chiles are significantly different from the Poblano chiles that they are made from, and Ancho is the traditional flavor of chili. I strongly recommend utilizing dried chiles in either powder or paste form to build your base next time.

    Man! I have used poblano for years in my chili because I really liked the earthy flavor. I never considered ancho chilis. I relied on chili powder, poblanos, and cumin. You gave me something to think about.

    It can get confusing sometimes because the names of the peppers change when they’re dried. Anchos are dried Poblanos, Chipotles are dried jalapeños, etc.

    Here’s a little cheat sheet that can help you memorize what’s what:

    I mean no offense, but you're riding the border of chili.

    What are the white bits? Tofu? Which is fine, just curious.

    You do you and make whatever style of chili your heart desires, and let no one hold you back. Serious. Can get real contentious out here in the chili world... but sometimes, you have to accept that you've made a stew

    Hmm not sure what white bits you see? I used a ground pork/beef mix, cajun seasoning/garlic powder, ranch beans, diced tomatoes, onions, and chilis/peppers.

    It looks like you’re not browning your meat before putting it in

    Also added cheddar cheese after cooking.

    It's likely the cheese

    You have to simmer the chili after you mix everything together... Not done yet bud

    Give it an hour or two. Low heat and remember to stir it.

    Interesting. Next time maybe try using canned Pinto Beans since you dislike kidney beans. Bush makes some good ones they call them Chilli Beans.

    Your welcome. Don't strain them. Chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, garlic, red onions, Chili peppers, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Use beef broth no water.

    I know what Ranch Style Beans are just never heard them called Ranch Beans. If I'm going to use canned beans in my chili I use these.

    But I prefer to cook my own Pintos.

    I actually bought it thinking it would be a good mixer with alcohol and you’re absolutely right
