AUTUMN/WINTER ESSENTIALS: CHILI, CHILI SPICE MIX
I use chili spice mixes in a lot of recipes; however, this is the mix that I like to use when making a nice pot of chili. And, as I pen these words, we are only a scant 2 days until Autumn. It has heat, it as kick, but it will not bowl you over. It is a great spice mix with plenty of hearty flavor to keep you warm on those cold...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. If you do not have access to dried chilies, you can always use the store-bought, pre-ground variety. However, Amazon does sell these items, and the mix will taste better if you use whole chilies and grind them yourself.
- 3. If you want the mix to have deeper, richer flavor, after you stem and remove the seeds from the chili's, place them in a hot dry pan for a bit. The heat will bring out more of the chili flavor. Or, you could put them in a 250f (120c) oven for about 20 - 30 minutes.
- 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 5. Cut the chilies open and remove the seeds and the stems.
- 6. Add all of the ingredients to a spice, or really good blender (I use a Vitamix).
- 7. Mix until a powder. Blend-Baby-Blend.
- 8. Store in a glass jar with a good lid, in a cool dry place, as you would any other spices.
- 9. PLATE/PRESENT
- 10. Use in any recipe that calls for chili powder, but especially a nice pot of chili. Enjoy.
- 11. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
HEARTWARMING CHILI
A touch of baking cocoa gives this chili a rich flavor without adding sweetness. When I was growing up in the North, we served chili over rice. But after I married a Texan, I began serving it with chopped onions, shredded cheese and, of course, corn bread! -Audrey Byrne, Lillian, Texas

FALL ESSENTIALS: DARK SECRET AUTUMNAL CHILI
Okay, about a week ago I posted my recipe for the seasoning I use when making a pot of chili. The other day, I posted my recipe for make-ahead chili meat, and now I am tying them all together with a yummy pot of Autumn Chili. Serve it up with a bunch of friends on one of those cool evenings where there is just a slight hint of...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. This recipe uses two other recipes of mine. One is for the chili seasoning, and the other is for the meat. You do not have to use them; however, if you do, here they are: Autumn/Winter Essentials: Chili, Chili Spice Mix https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/seasoning-mix/autumn-winter-essentials-chili-chili-spice-mix.html?r=2 Do Ahead Essentials: Chili Meat in the Freezer https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/beef/do-ahead-essentials-chili-meat-in-the.html?r=1
- 3. When it comes to canned tomatoes, there are great, good, and not so good brands. If you are interested in reading more on this fascinating subject, here are two articles I wrote, one that describes the different brands lurking out there, and another that talks about getting canned tomatoes tasting fresh. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/soup/soup-other-soup/cooking-class-the-best-canned-tomatoes.html?r=1 https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/sauce-spread-other-sauce-spread/removing-the-bitter-taste-from-canned-tomatoes.html?r=2
- 4. FYI: When it comes to the tomatoes, I usually can of whole peeled tomatoes, put them into a bowl, and use my hands to squeeze them until they break up. Why? Because that is how Aunt Josephine did it.
- 5. You will need a big old pot to make this recipe.
- 6. The "Dark Secret" to this recipe is the addition of dark chocolate. Which probably is not all that much of a secret to begin with. Just remember, to be careful. Adding to much chocolate (a little goes a long way) can turn your recipe from awesome to awful.
- 7. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
- 8. Add the chopped bacon to a large pot over medium heat.
- 9. Cook until the bacon renders its fat but does not crisp, about 5 - 7 minutes.
- 10. While the bacon is rendering chop up the onions, and mince the garlic.
- 11. Add the onions; along with the garlic, to the pot with the bacon.
- 12. Allow them to soften but not brown, about 3 - 5 minutes.
- 13. Add the beef stock tomatoes, and apple cider vinegar, then bring up to a simmer.
- 14. Add the recipe of make-ahead beef and stir to combine.
- 15. Add the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- 16. Whisk together the flour and stock (The Slurry).
- 17. Add to the simmering chile and stir into the pot.
- 18. Simmer for an additional 25 - 30 minutes, to allow the chili to thicken, and the flavors to blend.
- 19. PLATE/PRESET
- 20. Serve while nice and hot, with some of my suggested side items. Enjoy.
- 21. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
AUTUMN/WINTER ESSENTIAL: YUMMY BEEF IN CHILI SAUCE
I pulled a roast out of the walk-in with every intention of doing some kind of pot roast thing. After staring at that frozen lump of beef for a couple of minutes, I decided that I did not want a pot roast thing, and to be honest, no one else did either. I thought about it, worked on it most of the night, and this what came out. A really rich, spicy sauce that will warm your heart on the coldest of Autumn/Winter days, combined with melt in your mouth beef. What you serve with it is up to you, but I will give you a few suggestions. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Steps:
- PREP/PREPARE
- You will need a slow cooker, crockpot, or Instant Pot, to make this recipe.
- The Roast I am using a chuck roast; however, with the long cook times of a slow cooker, just about any type of beef will probably do just fine
- The Paprika There are lots of varieties of paprika floating around out there. I like a hot variety; however, if you want to cool it down a bit you could always use something milder.
- Make of it What You Will This dish is basically sauce and meat, so serving it up is up to you. How about piling it up on some good garlic mash, or maybe egg noodles; even rice would be an excellent option.
- Here are a couple of recipes that go well with this dish: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/rice-side/side-essentials-spicy-rice-dish.html https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/side-potatoes/low-fat-horseradish-mash-potatoes.html?r=4 https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/pasta/master-recipe-egg-noodle-dough.html?r=12
- Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- In the bowl of your slow cooker, mix the salt, pepper, and flower together, then toss in the cubed beef until nicely coated. Then, add the "OTHER STUFF" ingredients and mix until combined.
- Before tossing the beef with the flour, pat it dry with a few paper towels.
- Finally add the "WET STUFF" ingredients and stir to combine.
- Set your slow cooker to low, and cook until the beef is fork tender, about 5 - 6 hours.
- In the last hour, stir in the "FINISHING TOUCHES" ingredients.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Serve with rice, mashed taters, egg noodles, or whatever you choose. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
AUTUMN ESSENTIALS: AWESOME AUTUMN CHILI
This recipe began in the instant pot, and finally landed itself in a Dutch oven, slowly getting yummy on the stovetop. This is one really amazing chili... Just enough heat to keep you warm on those cold Autumn/Winter evenings, but not enough to give you heartburn, and the spices help to compliment the beef and make your...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. For this recipe you will need a good heavy-bottom pot, like a Dutch oven.
- 3. What about frozen beef? This recipe calls for browning the beef before making the chili, so frozen beef would not work. So, plan ahead and defrost before making this dish. What type of beef is best? If you are using ground beef, then pretty much any type will do. If you are cubing it, then chuck would be my first choice; followed by brisket, short ribs, or round. Once you have finished the browning of the beef, make sure you drain off any excess grease before moving on. Can I use something other than beef? Yes, you can. Ground turkey, chicken; even turkey would work fine. You could leave out the protein, add some extra beans, and make it vegetarian. What kind of beans are best to use? I am using kidney beans, but red and black beans would work also. Just remember they need to be precooked. If you are looking for a good canned variety, Bush's beans are an excellent choice; plus, each can weighs' in at 16 ounces (perfect). If you buy chili beans that come in a pre-seasoned sauce. I would taste the sauce first. If it is not so great, rinse them before adding. If it tastes okay, chuck it in with the beans. FYI: Bush's beans have a kickin' sauce. Here is the recipe that I used for my beans: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/other-side-dish/cooking-under-pressure-flavorful-base-for-beans.html?r=4 Can I freeze the leftovers? Absolutely. If properly sealed, they should last several months in the freezer. I would recommend freezing it in individual portions. So, any time you have the urge for a chili fix, just take it out of the freezer. If you are using Ziploc bags, do not toss the bag into a pot of boiling water, they are not designed to withstand the extreme heat of boiling. My suggestion would be to remove the frozen chili from the bag, place it in a small saucepan over low, low heat, cover, and allow that low heat to speed up the defrosting process.
- 4. What about the chili seasoning? There are a lot of chili seasonings on the market, and you probably have your favorite. Since I enjoy homemade, this is the one I used for this recipe. It is not a powder but a paste: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/chili-paste-essentials-up-your-game.html If you prefer a chili powder, this is one that works well with this recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/soup/soup-chili/diy-kick-butt-chili-powder.html?r=2 Why are you using chicken stock? My first batch used beef stock, and although it tasted okay, it was a bit too heavy for my tastes. So, I changed to chicken stock, and it came out perfect. Tamari sauce or liquid aminos in a chili? Okay, definitely not a traditional ingredient in a good pot of Texas chili; however, just a bit will deliver that Unami flavor that we love so much. If you wish, you could use a bit of Worcestershire sauce.
- 5. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 6. Cut your beef into small cubes or use ground beef. I ground mine thickly, in what is known as a chili grind. Regular, store-bought, ground beef will do just fine.
- 7. Add the oil to a pot over medium heat, and then add the beef.
- 8. Allow to cook down, until all the liquid has evaporated, and the beef begins to brown, about 12 - 14 minutes.
- 9. Add the onions and garlic, then cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften, and the garlic is fragrant, about 6 - 8 minutes.
- 10. Add the seasoning spices.
- 11. Stir until combined, about 1 minute.
- 12. Add the liquid ingredients, and gently simmer for about 30 minutes.
- 13. Add the beans.
- 14. Gently simmer, partially covered, for about 60 minutes.
- 15. PLATE/PRESENT
- 16. Serve while nice and hot with some crusty bread, and good conversations. Enjoy.
- 17. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
