Dudes Big Lebowski Cowboy Chili Recipe - CowboyStranger



"Sure DUDE. I'll Give You My CHILI RECIPE"



DUDES COWBOY CHILI 


   Dude got this recipe from a friend of his at the Bowling Alley. A guy who never bowled himself but hung out at the bar, drinking Sioux City Sarsaparilla. He had a big thick Salt & Pepper Mustache and wore a big ass cowboy hat and Cowboy Garb. The cowboy at the bar (The Cowboy Stranger) was pretty cool. He got the Dudes stamp of approval, so you know he’s cool. Dude and the Stranger would sit around, Dude drinking a White Russian (“I’ll have another Caucasian Gary”) and the Stranger sipping on his Sarsaparilla. These two had conversations on all sorts of things. One day the conversation turned to Chili and Tacos. The Cowboy said he didn’t eat tacos all that much, but he did make a killer Chili. Dude and The Stranger talked Chili for a bit and the Dude liked what he heard. 

The Dude asked the Cowboy if he wouldn’t mind giving him his Chili recipe.   The Cowboy obliged the Dude, and right then and there, wrote his excellent Chili recipe down for the Dude on a couple of cocktail napkins at the bar. The Dude pasted those napkins with the cowboys Killer Chili right into his spiral bound notebook, and the Dude has been making his Chili with this recipe ever since. The Dude passes it on to you to. Go forth young man, make Chili and multiply.

PS  Dude knows, as most do, that “Cowboys make the Best Chili” !!! The reason Dude was so anxious to get the Cowboy Strangers version.


DUDES COWBOY CHILI


INGREDIENTS:


3 pounds ground Beef (Chuck is preferred)

4 medium Onions, cut into a medium dice

8 cloves of Garlic, peeled and minced

1-28 ounce can crushed Tomato

1 cup water

1 teaspoon Salt

2 tablespoons Cumin, 1 tablespoon Oregano

2 tablespoons Sweet Paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground Black Pepper

1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

1-2 teaspoons Hot Sauce (Tabasco, Louisiana Hot  

  Sauce, Crystal or which ever brand you like)

1 tablespoon Lea & Perrin’s Worcestershire Sauce 


CHILI COOKING PROCEDURE:


1)   Get a large 6-8 quart pot and line the bottom 

       with vegetable oil. Turn the flame to medium 

       heat.


2)   Add ground chop meat and cook for about 12

       minutes until the meat loses its raw color. 

       Turn off heat.


3)    Put the meat in a colander to drain excess fat.


4)    In the same large pot,  add the onions and cook 

       over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the 

       garlic  cook for 3 minutes.

5)   Add the ground meat back to the pot. Sprinkle 

       the salt  and  Black Pepper onto  the Beef and 

       sauté for 2 minutes.


6)   Add the tomatoes, oregano, Paprika, and Cumin.

       Turn the flame up to high until the ingredients 

       start to bubble. Lower flame so the Chili will 

       cook at a gentle simmer. Let simmer for 1 hour.


7)    Add the Hot Sauce and Worcestershire Sauce and

       continue simmering the Chili for another ½ hour.

       The CHILI is now finished  and ready to eat on  

       Its own or with a  couple crushed  Saltine Crackers, 

       with rice and beans as Chili con Carne, or to make

       into Burritos or Tacos, or even a most outstanding

       Chili Dog. “Enjoy!”



If you want the Chili hotter, you can increase the amount of Cayenne and Tabasco or other Hot Sauce. In Dudes recipe here, he makes it so you can just start to discern that it is just slightly hot, but not really too hot. This is the way Dude likes it. Later on when he’s making a Taco or Chili Dog with his Chili and he’s in the mood to have it a bit hotter he can always add a bit of Hot Sauce then and there. If the Chili is made very hot, you can never take the hot out, but you can always add some later. You catch The Dudes drift?


NOTE on the CHILI:  This is a large recipe. Dude makes a recipe, as he wants to help you save time as well as a lot of MONEY. You take two hours one time to make the batch of Chili that you will cook that evening, and you will have quite a lot left to put into containers in both the refrigerator and freezer. You’re gonna get about 20 meals out of this recipe. See that, take two hours one time, and for 20 meals, you won’t need to hardly cook at all. Just a few minutes preparation. You will then have Chili that is ready to make into Tacos, Burritos, Chili Dogs, or just a Bowl of Chili with Cheese and fresh onions in a matter of minutes at any time. “Voila.


3 WAY CHILI


   Three Way Chili? It’s a great way to serve Chili The Dudes says. And The Stranger says, “It stretches Her Out,” the Chili that is. “3 Way Chili” is a beloved staple of the great Mid-Western City of Cincinnati.  Dude found the recipe that was a clipped out of an article, sandwiched between a book on Bowling that the Dude bought at a “Garage Sale” when he was driven around listening to Creedence tapes while toking on a Dubey one day. The book and the free recipe inside, was just 25 cents. Dude thought the recipe to be quite interesting and a good way to stretch Chili with some inexpensive costing Spaghetti which he buys on sale at Ralph’s for just .69 cents a box.

    So, you ask ole Duder, “How do you make this Cincinnati 3 Way Chili.” Quite simple. Get yourself some shredded Cheddar Cheese, cook up some spaghetti, drain it, put it on a plate, and top with some Cowboy Chili and Cheddar Cheese. Sit back and Enjoy!

Big Lebowski Not Originally a Hit ???

 





The now beloved movie, The Big Lebowski was initially not a box office success, and movie critics all pretty much gave it a thumbs down. However, The Big Lebowski, starring Jeff Bridges as The Dude, along with John Goodman, John Turturro, Steve Buscemi, and the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman, turned out to become the greatest cult movie classic in film history.

Along with movies like: The Godfather, Scarface, The Terminator and other films, millions of fans quote lines from the movie, buy merchandise, and books, attend Big Lebowski Festivals, and drink White Russians. There is even a Big Lebowski Cookbook.

Yes before The Big Lebowski became the widely loved cult classic that it is today, it was a box office disapointment. After the success of the Coen Brothers movie Fargo which was nominated for for 7 Oscars, and won two Academy Awards, one for Best Actress for Francis McDormand, and Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for the Coen Brothers, people were expecting a similar sort of film from the Big Lebowski, which did not receive one Oscar nomination at all. Anyway, the Coen brothers make wonderful movies, and though The Big Lebowski was not a imediate success, it truned out to be, and is etched in movie history as one of the most beloved, quoted films, and one of the greatest cult movies of all time, so you most abide in the Dude and the Coen Brothers film classic, The Big Lebowski if forever wonderful.

Basta!
