Great Moments in Failure

A few weeks ago for Easter, I decided I would make some Texas-style chili using an online recipe I had found. It turned out pretty well, and I decided to make a regular habit of trying out new chili recipes. I decided that my next project would be to make some of (I swear I am not making this up) Barry Goldwater's Chili Recipe, which was the senator's entry in a US-Senate Chili-cook-off. Making a few little changes, I subsituted black beans for pinto beans and set off.

The result: failure. An equal amount of beans and meat resulted in a chili recipe dominated by the beans with a resulting disintegration of the meat... which normally creates a nice texture, but in this case comes across as just a thickened bowl of beans, which overwhelm the entire dish. Maybe this is because I used black beans instead of the prescribed pinto beans. Or maybe I should have used fewer black beans, perhaps by halving the amount used.

So, my cooking experiments aren't universally successful. Perhaps I'll make this an ongoing series of attempts at chili-making.

UPDATE: Adding some more water when reheating it for lunch to make the chili more soupy helps some, so it's not a total failure, but there are still too many beans.
