Duey's Corner Tap in our small town has served their traditional bowl of chili for many, many years. Every now and again I get a hankering for just such fare. Such was the case a couple of days ago. After I enjoyed a bowl I set about to replicate it. It is quite different from my usual preparation of chili. It consists principally of a highly chili seasoned tomato base and fine ground hamburger, with a very sparse amount of dark red kidney beans, thin sliced celery and thin sliced canned mushrooms. This recipe very closely approximates that bowl of goodness served at Duey's.

How To Make duey's corner tap -- chili knock off

  • 1
    In large fry pan brown and cook ground beef. As it cooks I mash it fine with a wire potato masher. You want it quite fine. Add a teaspoon of salt and a dash of black pepper.
  • 2
    to the crock pot add the tomato juice, tomato paste, the canned mushrooms and canned kidney beans. Slice the two celery stalks thinly. In a small bowl nuke the sliced celery with a pat of butter for two minutes, then add to crock pot.
  • 3
    When ground beef is cooked and finely minced add it to crock pot. Place a small amount of water in fry pan and scrape pan clean and add to crock pot. Most of pan drippings is juice and not fat so I add all drippings to the crock pot. Add the small jar of chili powder, and stir all well.
  • 4
    Cook on high until bubbly, then set crock pot to low or keep warm, for another two or three hours. Stir occasionally. Serve with crackers or bread. As I noted this chili is sparse in kidney beans, sliced mushrooms and sliced celery, but still a very tasty bowl of chili. hope you enjoy.
