Sinfully Satisfying Chili Recipes

BEST DAMN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, bell pepper, Anaheim pepper, jalapeno peppers, and garlic in the hot oil until softened.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; add Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder. Crumble bouillon cubes over beef and add beer. Continue to cook , scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, until liquid is hot, about 3 minutes. Stir beef mixture into pepper mixture.
• Stir crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and wine to the beef mixture. Season with chili powder, 2 tablespoons cumin, brown sugar, pepper sauce, basil, paprika, salt, oregano, and black pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until meat and vegetables are very tender and flavors have developed in the chili, about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Mix kidney beans into beef and vegetables. Continue to simmer until beans are hot, about 30 minutes more.
• Blend sour cream, cilantro, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin in a food processor until smooth. Serve sour cream mixture with chili.

EASY HOMEMADE CHILI

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the beef and onion and saute until meat is browned and onion is tender. Add the stewed tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, beans and water.
• Season with the chili powder, garlic powder, salt and ground black pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.

SIMPLY SENSATIONAL CHILI

Steps:

• Heat oil in medium, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, peppers and garlic; cook until vegetables are soft, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Season meat with Adobo. Add meat to the pot, breaking into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Stir in chili powder, cilantro and cumin, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
• Add 1 cup water, chopped tomatoes (with liquid), beef bouillon and Sazon to pot. Bring tomato mixture to a boil. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until mixture thickens and flavors come together, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Stir in beans. Cook until heated through, about 15 minutes more.
• Divide chili among serving bowls. Garnish with cheese, sour cream and onions, if desired.

CINFULLY GOOD CHILI

Steps:

• 1. Brown ground meat in a large pot or iron kettle (my preference). Drain any grease off of meat in a colander and rinse with hot water. Return to pot.
• 2. Saute onion, bell pepper and minced garlic in olive oil until onions are translucent. Add to ground meat.
• 3. Add all remaining ingredients and simmer on low for 1 to 2 hours, adding water in half cup increments if chili becomes too thick.
• 4. Cayenne pepper can be increased by 1/4 teaspoon increments if a hotter chili is preferred.
• 5. My family enjoys cornbread with this dish and we like to top it with thinly sliced scallions, sour cream, cheddar cheese and fresh chopped cilantro. A bit of minced jalapeno will bring tears to your eyes if you feel so inclined by individuals, but I think it'll bring tears to your eyes just cause it's gooood!
