So, third and fourth opinion. My son is home from college, he and his girlfriend are huge fans of the chili. So 3 out of 4 are fans. Gaining confidence. :p

Sloppy joes are an underrated meal. I've had manwich, but I'm with you, go from scratch. That said, Joe probably has limited capacity in the truck.

I left it untouched until I broke the meat up and stirred it in. I read a bunch of different recipes and temp recommendations varied from 225 to 350. I started at 275 and raised the grill to 300 when the meat reached 140, then to 325 when it reached 150. I think next time I'll just start at...

I'm trying this tomorrow. Same basic premise, but my recipe will be a bit different. I'm going to put diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, chili powder, onions, jalepeno peppers, roasted peppers, etc. in the Dutch oven underneath. On top I'll do 1.5 lbs ground beef and 1 lb sausage w/ chili...

I have some tips that are a little tough, so I'm going to braise them in a Dutch oven over a bed of onions, carrots, and celery, make the drippings into a gravy, and serve it over rice. Beef is too expensive to waste nowadays.
