Redskins Tailgate Chili Recipes

BOILERMAKER TAILGATE CHILI

Steps:

• Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble the ground chuck and sausage into the hot pan, and cook until evenly browned. Drain off excess grease.
• Pour in the chili beans, spicy chili beans, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Add the onion, celery, green and red bell peppers, chile peppers, bacon bits, bouillon, and beer. Season with chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, cumin, hot pepper sauce, basil, salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, and sugar. Stir to blend, then cover and simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• After 2 hours, taste, and adjust salt, pepper, and chili powder if necessary. The longer the chili simmers, the better it will taste. Remove from heat and serve, or refrigerate, and serve the next day.
• To serve, ladle into bowls, and top with corn chips and shredded Cheddar cheese.

REDSKINS TAILGATE CHILI

Steps:

• The Night Before:.
• Start out by removing the skin from the Italian sausage.
• In a large skillet, begin to brown the sausage and ground beef.
• Drain the meats once browned. Remove from skillet and place in a large pot.
• In the skillet, brown the onion, pepper and mushrooms. Add garlic for the last two minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to the large pot.
• Add whole tomatoes and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Be sure to break the tomatoes up well.
• Stir in chili powder, oregano, parsley, and the hot sauce. Remove from the heat and refrigerate overnight after cooling.
• Gameday:.
• Light the burner and sit the pot of goodness over the heat.
• Add the kidney beans in and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and begin to simmer the chili.
• Now add the tomato paste and the dark beer. I use Newcastle, but Guinness, and Becks dark are both great in this recipe as well.
• Simmer uncovered until the mixture reduces to desired thickness. If it stays uncovered for an extended period of time and thickens too much just add a little more beer to loosen things back up a bit.
• Scoop into bowls and top with a few of the jalapeno slices and a sprinkle or two of cheddar.
