Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

NP @Soleamp and this was my first try at the pressure cooker variant–the original that I have based past successes on is here: https://www.seriouseats.com/real-texas-chili-con-carne
When I first dipped my toe into chili con carne I used this: http://www.recipecircus.com/recipes/Buny/MainDish-Chili/Roger_Foltz39s_Chili.html
These days I try to resist packaged ingredients and MSG (e.g. chili powders unless I make them myself, Sazon Goya--and no, I am not eliminating MSG because I think it's a health hazard, I just will use a little fish sauce instead for umami), so I no longer use those kinds of recipes, but that one did win an award in 2004.

Thank you for posting that. I made it last Sunday; it was delicious.

Amazing @JDelage ! Glad you enjoyed it. I am a big fan of Kenji Lopez-Alt. I do prefer the non-pressure-cooker version of the chili con carne–a great use for an enameled crockpot.
His
is also really great. I like to introduce 1:5 butter into the grind and to incorporate yellow mustard into the patties, and I use grilled onions, more yellow mustard, and dill pickles as my toppings. I do mine on a cast iron griddle, but only because I don't have a stainless griddle yet. I really cherish the Maillard reaction and this gets you all those crispy browned bits, while not turning the patties into hockey pucks. -
@mclaincausey - I'm a big fan of his too, and he actually recently moved just a couple blocks from us. I have used his sous-vide recommendations for a few years (even though he uses an Anova and I a Joule).
I'll have to check that burger recipe. It looks scrumptious.

Sometimes you just have to hold your nose and scarf it down…
But seriously, some talented stuff always on the thread.
I hope you share your experience with the smashed burger here @JDelage ! I don't have an immersion circulator yet, but the Joule looks good to me and IIRC has higher power.

So many of the best moments in life are spent in the kitchen with friends. You have some impressive skills and interests @Chap and I so admire your high end cuisine style.
