Canned Chili Connoisseurs?

I want to learn to make a really good chili with no beans using Hatch chilis. Ideas, suggestions, recipes welcome.

You've come to the right place. I'm a huge Hatch chili fan. You're just at the end of the season though. I make my regular Carol Shelby's chili with either coarse ground beef or chunk stew beef. Roast the Hatch chilis on the grill and skin and deseed them, rough chop them up and add to the chili. Gotta take the skins off, they're pretty inedible. Hatch's can be either mild, warm or hot. You never really know, so taste them after you grill 'em so you know.

Extra points for "no beans"!

We are not very picky when it comes to chili. Canned chili is canned chili and with the other stuff its always good.
Recently we have been using home made chili. We cook a large pot and then we scoop it into quart bags and lay them flat on a pan and freeze them. When we want hot dogs we just put a bag in a sink full of water and in a little while its thawed and ready to be heated up. As a bonus once it cools off we can heat a bag or two for a quick lunch.

Try it before you Puke emoji me.

What I see from you is, you're a very accomplished cook. I'd likely try most anything you made. The ODT seems to have some great cooks

I won't let my Wife freeze her chili. She makes a batch, it'll get eaten

SOMETIMES I get canned chili but it's strictly for chili dog night. Still ain't found one I actually like. So I use a can with beans and a can of dedicated chili dog chili sauce. And I still haven't gotten anywhere close to Nu Way good.
I think part of the key to Nu Way chili dogs is those red dye hot dogs that I can't find in any store. When I was growing up we used to get a brand called CV Weiners that were very close to the Nu Way weiners but I ain't seen them or even the brand name in decades. But on the up side they were probably taking years off my life anyway so...

If some of y’all make chili like you do Brunswick stew with all them veggies in it, I’d hate to taste your chili….🤷🏻‍♂️

I get it sometimes for scrambled eggs/omelettes. More of a condiment than a course

I confess please stop hitting me...I do occasionally pop open a can of Hormel chili (with beans) because I have a fondness for Chili-Cheese Fries as a quick dinner.
Coincidentally that's just about the only thing other than hushpuppies that I use ketchup on.

I'd really like to try some of the things I've seen other members post that they've cooked. Wr should do a "pot luck" meet 'n greet!
