Dennys Chili Recipe 45

Steps:

• Pat the brisket cubes dry with paper towels. Heat the oil in a very large heavy-bottomed pot and quickly brown the meat, in batches, on all sides. Transfer the brisket to a separate bowl and set aside. Saute the onion and garlic in the same oil over medium heat until limp, but not brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the chili powder, pepper flakes, cayenne pepper and cumin and saute for 1 minute. Add the green peppers, bay leaf, tomatoes with their juice, the reserved meat, 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot with a tight fitting lid and simmer for 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste and season with salt, to taste. Add the coffee, cover the pot and simmer for 1 more hour.
• Add the kidney beans and basil, and warm through. Transfer the chili to a large serving bowl and serve with sour cream, grated Cheddar, diced tomato, tortilla chips and guacamole.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms, onion, carrot, green bell pepper, celery, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, basil, and oregano until the onion begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in tomatoes with their liquid, black beans and their liquid, tomato paste, red wine, hot pepper sauce, and water.
• Bring the chili to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Remember my recipes are just guidelines, not rules. If you do not like something in it, remove it or substitute something else.
• If you are going to use peppers, it is best to toast them in the broiler or over an open flame to burn the skins. Optional: Split them open and remove the veins and seeds (lower heat, fruitier flavor).
• Coarsely chop the onion.
• Add the onion, garlic, and olive oil to a hot skillet; sauté until the onions are translucent.
• Add ground beef or stewing beef to the onions and garlic.
• When the beef is browned, go ahead and drain grease if there is any.
• Now add the 2 cups of water, tomato paste and diced tomatoes to the beef mixture.
• Start adding your spices as the mixture comes to a low boil.
• Lower your burner to simmer and add your beans.
• Let simmer for 1 to 2 hours until desired thickness.
• Optional: You can also transfer your chili to a slow cooker at this point and cook for an even longer period of time.
• More Fire: Add some of your favorite hot sauce. I use something called Vicious Viper.
• Extra Veggies: I like to add a can of whole kernel corn, but any other veggie will work.

Steps:

• Mix together the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, salt& cinnamon.
• Heat a large skillet, or griddle.
• When the skillet is hot, add 1 tablespoon butter.
• If the butter smokes, your pan is too hot; turn down the heat.
• Dip each slice of bread into the batter for 30 seconds on each side.
• Let some of the batter drip off, then put in skillet.
• Cook each slice 1 1/2-2 minutes per side until each side is golden brown.
• Add more butter, if necessary, to cook all of the slices.
• To serve, put on plate, dust with powdered sugar. Serve with butter & hot syrup.

Steps:

• Mix ground beef with worcestershire and steak seasoning.
• Form meat into 6 patties.
• Heat skillet to medium high, and fry patties until browned on both sides.
• Remove from pan.
• Add both cans of chili to skillet and stir to incorporate all browned bits. If the chili is a little thick, you may thin it with water.
• Add patties back to skillet, and turn to coat with chili.
• Lower heat to medium, and cook until patties are to desired doneness.
• Serve each patty with some chili, a sprinkling of cheddar, and onions (none for my boys!).
• You could also add diced jalapenos if you desire.
