THE BEST CHILI

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until just browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
• Add the jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the cooked ground beef and any accumulated liquid, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the chili, partially covered, until the beef is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in the beans and their liquid and simmer uncovered until the beans are softened and the chili is thickened, about 30 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
• Top with sour cream, Cheddar and scallions. Serve with tortilla chips.

WHITE CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then onion and poblano pepper. Season with ½ teaspoon of salt and cook until slightly softened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeño and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, chili powder, black pepper, and oregano and cook 1 more minute, or until fragrant.
• In a small measuring cup, whisk together ½ cup of chicken broth and the cornmeal or masa harina.
• Add the remaining 3 ½ cups chicken broth, cornmeal mixture, white beans, canned green chilis, and frozen corn to the Dutch oven. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, over medium heat. Stir in the cooked chicken and cook for 5 more minutes. Stir in the heavy cream, lime juice and cilantro and remove from the heat. Season with the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt, plus more to taste.
• Serve topped with additional cilantro, sour cream, tortilla chips and shredded cheese, if you like.

RED AND WHITE CHILI

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in the slow-cooker; stir gently to mix. Place lid on the slow cooker.
• Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours OR on high for 3 to 4 hours until hot and sauce thickens slightly.
• Carefully remove lid to allow steam to escape. Serve food directly from slow-cooker.

WHITE CHILI II

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken, and saute until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan.
• Saute the onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, jalapeno chile peppers and garlic in the same skillet. Return the chicken, along with the ginger, salt, sage, cumin and white pepper. Mix thoroughly.
• In a separate small saucepan or skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Stir in flour to make a roux. Whisk in the chicken broth and mix all together. Stir this mixture into the sauteed chicken and vegetables.
• Stir in the beans with can liquid, and simmer all over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked and heated through.
