No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

In addition to my advice on your bloody Mary abomination chili
Around 10 or 15 years ago, I learned this chili recipe from this comic I probably found on Reddit. It has always served me well, and it is the basis for how I make chili today
To this recipe I also add some chili peppers, usually jalapenos (because otherwise it's not chili)
A can of chipotles in adobo
I've tweaked the ratios spice blend a bit to my taste and added a bit of cocoa powder and cinnamon.
It should probably be noted that I tend to make bigger batch, often working with 2-5lbs of meat (and I prefer coarse ground or something even finely cubed meat as opposed to regular grocery store ground meat)
I usually have 2 or 3 different cans of beans in mine because I like beans
I'll usually do 2 or 3 bell peppers, usually of different colors
Some bacon, some chorizo
Screw that "a shot of beer" it gets a whole can. Occasionally wine instead if that's what I'm drinking while I'm cooking.
Often some coffee and/or various liquors (whiskey, rum, tequila, or Brandy)make their way into the mix at some point. Sometimes there's beef stock involved.
I also pay really fast and loose about what canned tomato products go into my pot, whole, crushed, diced, sauce, doesn't matter too much, it's all gonna cook down into unrecognizable red-brown deliciousness by the time I'm done. Just try to get roughly that sort of ratio of tomato products to beef
For bonus points, get your cowboy on and do this in a pot hanging from a tripod over a campfire.
Normally I end up letting this simmer for up to around 6 hours. If it starts looking too thick/dry, add some liquid, usually beer in my case.

One correction to your recipe: the correct amount of beer is one full (bottle||can) plus one drop from a second. Then drink the rest.
Also, if you have the time, cut steak into 3/4" cubes and sear all six sides. Place in a plastic bag and cover with tequila. Place in the fridge for 24 hours or so and the alcohol will denature the proteins, giving an amazing texture.
