Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Given my rave review, I was surprised I hadn't made this again, but maybe I did and forgot to jot a note. I added some unsweetened chocolate and hatch chile powder plus a little cinnamon. Didn't add the beer. I probably should have because I ended up adding some balsamic vinegar and a tbsp of dark brown sugar because it tasted a little flat. Still a fine chili, but not my fave this time.

    I loved this. May be my new basic go-to chili recipe. I started to double the recipe, but made some adjustments as I went. Here's what I did: 2lbs ground beef from Belcampo Meat Co. (not 90% lean, not sure what it was), 2 medium onions, 4 cloves garlic, 1lb small crimini mushrooms, 1 cup bulgur, 4 tbsp Bourbon Barrel Foods Worcestershire, 1 heaping tbsp ancho chile powder, 3 tbsp chili powder, 1 tbsp sweet paprika, 1 tbsp Bourbon Barrel Foods Smoked Paprika, 4 tsp ground cumin, 3 cups Belcampo Beef Stock, 1 can Budweiser, 1 15 oz can kidney beans, 1 15 oz can pinto beans, At this point I just couldn't stand the thought of chili with no tomato in it, so I grabbed a 28 oz can of DiNapoli crushed tomatoes in puree and added it. And I threw in a small can of mild fire-roasted green chiles too. I let it simmer for an hour. Salt and pepper to taste. I loved the flavor & consistency of this. Couldn't even tell the bulgur was in there. Topped with the usual fixins.
