As the saying goes, hunger makes the best sauce. I've had good canned chili, because I was hungry enough. | |||

Go Vols! |
Campbells Thick and Chunky is the most edible for me. WTH - just saw I answered this 2 years ago. At least I was consistent, although I tend to go with regular over the firehouse version now. | |||

This is the best I've ever had. Unfortunately, it isn't available in local stores:  DSC_6570 by David Casteel, on Flickr I don't care for either Hormel or Wolf brand chili. Lately I've been buying "Signature" brand (Albertson's store brand, I think) and it's not bad. I buy both the normal and the hot versions, but I do spice both of them up a little with Cayenne pepper. None of the canned chilis come close to my mom's, but she's dead and I don't have her recipe (even if I cooked, which I don't). I just checked for Nalley chili. Some Target stores have carried it, but none here do now. Amazon does not currently have it for on-line sale, and Nalley itself says it cannot deliver to my ZIP Code.

I'm not the OP, but no, I can't. I can scorch water while heating it. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Start simple and you will get inspired. Start off buying 3 different cans of beans, 2 cans of tomato sauce, 1 packet of chili seasoning and some hamburger. Then brown the hamburger while stirring in the chili seasoning. Once the hamburger is browned put in in a big enough sauce pan to put in the 3 cans of beans and two cans of tomato sauce. Let is simmer on the stove and you will have some chili that is ten times better than store bought. From there you can go 100 different ways. | |||

Best canned I've had is Clyde's. They are a restaurant icon in N.VA/DC area known for their chili, so they decided to can it. It's good in the restaurant and translates very well to the can, but it is expensive if it's still available. They even publish the recipe::: Clyde's Recipe "We have a system that increasingly taxes work, and increasingly subsidizes non-work" - Milton Friedman | |||

When I was a boy the local Jitney Jungle grocery chain carried a store brand called Food Club. The Food Club Chili with beans was as good as any I've had out of a can, bar none. If they were still sold locally in any chains, I'd get some right now. And maybe some TP. ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

I'm in Alexandria, haven't seen it in a while. Will look for it, the pantry has a few cans of Hormel and Stagg in it, a couple more won't hurt. | |||

Three words that don't go in the same sentence: Chili, Canned & Good.... It's not hard to make and way better than anything in a can... | |||

The difference being that I'll have chili sitting in the back of my pantry for the next time that the planet loses its collective mind. How long does your fresh batch last? Well you can freeze some, I suppose, assuming that you still have electricity when it comes down to breaking out the reserves. Canned food = long-term convenience | |||

Trader Joe's - Organic Vegetarian Chili. The best I've had. thick, spicy, beans and Tofu as the "meat". Don't knock it till you've tried it. You would never know it's not regular old meat and bean chili. Just ask my mom. We sneak it to her, she likes this chili and hates Tofu. We don't let her see the can!

Just came back from the grocery store...absolutely no canned beans or canned tomatoes of any kind, no canned vegetables and no cheese. Still no TP. Today there was no fresh beef, chicken or pork. The good news was that the produce section was looking almost normal. I would have liked a big bowl of chili tonight... | |||

I take it you've had Clyde's, though being from Alexandria, I'd wager you've had Hard Time's for sure. "We have a system that increasingly taxes work, and increasingly subsidizes non-work" - Milton Friedman | |||

But then how much TP do you need. | |||

I take it you've had Clyde's, though being from Alexandria, I'd wager you've had Hard Time's for sure.[/QUOTE] Last stop there (Hard Times) was two weeks ago. Clyde's chili is no longer canned per the link in your earlier post, and a little Google searching. | |||

Me too except my consistency is having a dozen cans of Wolf w/o beans in my pantry. Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||
