I've been tryin to use the dried peppers and come up with a chili powder of my own. I will definately give this one a try. Thanks for the post. It may be the missing link. I've got dried Cascabels but they look very different, they are the size and shape of small tomatillos? different variety?
Anyways Your Chili looks awesome.
Thanks

I also am used to seeing the type that you mentioned. When using the dried peppers for making chile powder, leave out any stems and seeds as they can give off a bitter taste. Morro Bay is one of my old stomping grounds...
very nice area.

I have heard that about the seeds... interesting. My grandfather said they add flavor and heat... in a dish - not dried. But then again... he'd go out to the garden and chomp on Japs with his salt shaker Guess I know where I got my love of heat from eh?

just google CASI- that is original cowboy chili(maybe minus same okras)but that is terelingua,texas world championship chili by rules, no fruits or veggies (other than jalapenos),no beans, to the comps- i would have lost because what you see in the close ups you may think are seeds is actually minced garlic i didn't mash & puree.
