Red Chili Raspberry Bites Recipes

JANETTE'S CHILI LITE-BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the crescent roll dough and cheese.
• Press 2 crescent-roll triangles together and roll them out to make a rectangle about 5 by 4 inches. Cut crosswise into 3 even pieces. Repeat with remaining dough to make a total of 12 pieces.
• Spoon a little of the bean mixture onto the center of each piece of dough and top with a little cheddar. Fold the dough around the filling and pinch the ends together to seal.
• Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until browned, about 30 minutes. Serve hot.

POOLS BREW RED CHILI

Steps:

• Melt the shortening in a large wide pot over medium heat. Working in batches, add the beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain, then rinse with water and return to the pot.
• Add the beef broth, chicken broth, tomato sauce, prunes, 10 cups water and Spice Group 1 to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
• Stir in Spice Group 2 and cook 15 minutes, then stir in Spice Group 3 and cook 15 more minutes. Season with salt and add Tabasco sauce to taste.

PULL-APART DOG BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a 9-by-13-inch baking sheet with parchment.
• Slice off and discard the ends of each hot dog. Quarter the trimmed hot dogs, crosswise. Unroll the crescent roll dough on the prepared baking sheet. Split the dough in half lengthwise. Pinch the perforated seams of the dough together.
• For the chili dog bites: Evenly space 6 teaspoon-size dollops of chili down the center of one strip of dough. Top each with some onions and Cheddar. Stand a hot dog piece upright in each pile of toppings. Fold the sides of the dough on the chili dog bite lengthwise to cover the filling, leaving holes for the hot dogs to stick out. Pinch the dough together between each hot dog. The filling should be sealed inside and the hot dogs peeking out. Use the dull side of a butter knife to score the dough between each hot dog. Brush the dough with egg and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
• For the Chicago dog bites: Arrange the remaining 6 hot dog pieces standing upright on the other dough strip. Nestle against each hot dog half a cornichon, half a tomato and a teaspoon relish. Fold and seal as the chili dog bites above. Brush the dough with the egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
• Bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Pull-apart and serve with yellow and spicy brown mustard for dipping.

RED CHILI

Steps:

• In a stockpot over medium heat, brown the meats. When they are halfway done, add in the onion and garlic and continue to saute until the onions are clear. Add tomato juice, tomatoes, chile powder, cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper and thoroughly stir to blend and incorporate all the flavors and seasonings. Simmer for 1 hour.
• Add the beans and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat; cool down quickly via an ice bath. Cover and refrigerate. Before serving or freezing, skim fat from the top of the chili.
