• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Dish of the month (March 2022): Chilli/chili (including plant based)

Chili Bowl with Beef and Pinto Beans

Just when I thought I'd seen everything in chili... that's new to me.

My mom always put home-canned tomatoes (and their juice, obviously) in her chili, and the way she canned her tomatoes, they were pretty much stewed tomatoes, with celery and onion in there as well. Worked out well, and I’ll sometimes use supermarket stewed tomatoes to chili.

I was referring to the slices of tomato. If I use tomatoes in chili, I use diced tomatoes. A lot of people use tomato sauce. Seeing a big slice of tomato surprised me.
