Years ago I had to go to a Proctologist in St Louis, he preformed my checkup then said " You live by Carlinville IL don't you?" I said yes... He said If you pick me up a 12 pack of Taylor's Chili, I won't charge you for this visit! He got his chili! Last edited by pmcgrady; February 12, 2017 at 05:02 PM. Reason: Spelling |

Each bowl of chili comes with a half package of saltines (about 20). The last of the Taylor's who owned the business were very opinionated / crabby... If you asked for more crackers, they would tell you no, we gave you the perfect amount for a bowl. If you asked for ketchup or vinegar they would throw you out. Years ago I went there wearing a t shirt from an air show, it had a pic of the nose of a B52 Bomber with a pinup girl painted on it, one of the Taylor's threw me out telling me not to come back until I learned to dress appropriately. The young couple who own the company now are very nice people

Never understood the need to add thickeners, even though I like it pretty thick. That is what long simmering is for. Cook it until it is the right consistency in a big cast iron pot. OK, I just might have to make some this week, since I have been out in the freezer for quite a while. Might have to go all meat this time to try it. Wow wonder how many pounds of ground meat I need to make a whole pot of all beef chili? I put it in single serve containers and a few minutes in the microwave and I have homemade chili after a crazy day at work when I am too tired to cook.

Just finished a pot of Fire Hall chili with 2 lb 3/4 ground chuck, feeds 3 with crackers, maybe four with crackers and a 12 pak. I'd go with 3 lb to feed four.

I usually fill a 5 qt cast iron pot about 3/4 full. So I am guessing 6+ lbs, esp if I want to restock the freezer.
