Hook up with Luv2 .... He's skeered, too ... Together, you would make an awesome team ... LOL

Didn't watch the video because there's enough stupidity and evil in real life to fill my day, but I will say the stocks and public humiliation of yore were not completely off-base reactions, in the entirety of history ....

There seems to be some controversy over whether women chewed hides to soften them. That's all I'm gonna say.

LOL ... :beer:

More time in the crockpot knocked the smoke back a good bit, too, BTW ...

Velly intellesting ... Mealy is a a good descriptor, though an extra day in the crockpot with a bag of cheddar cheese eventually took care of the problem. I'm not sure if one or the other was the solution. The only reason I used the crockpot is that I wanted to keep the chili "ready to go." I know there's such a thing as "crockpot chili" out there, but I've never made it that way.

I'm goin' for the reverse of this >>> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YbQa-SsjD0A" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

One more day in the crockpot on "warm" eliminated the texture problem. But I'd still like to knock something down a notch ... Maybe the smoke. I gave it a double dose of mesquite this time.

I made a second batch of this in the last few days. Smoked about 3.5 pounds lean burger and put it in the crockpot with the stock to soak for a day until I could get the cook-pot out the next evening. This time I found the G peppers but blanked (for the second time) on the dried jalapenos. Simmer times were slightly abbreviated, because---hey, I don't have all night. We're making progress. The burger had a funny texture, different from the first time I made this, when the burger went straight from the smoker to the pot, instead of making a detour to the crockpot first. It was almost as if it was dry/dusty, even though it had been stewing in stock for a day. I also had to add some cornstarch, as things came out significantly thinner than the first time I attempted this. I think I'm heading in the direction of stew meat for Round Three. It's hard to find a brisket around here, but that's Plan C.
