Green Bay Chili Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium high heat, combine the ground beef, onion and bell peppers. Saute for about 5 minutes, or until beef is browned. Drain excess fat.
• Add the chili powder, garlic, bay leaf, cumin, chile peppers, tomatoes, tomato sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Stir in the beans and heat through.

Steps:

• Make the chili: in a big skillet, saute/stir the onion in oil over med-high heat until soft.
• Add in beef; cook/stir until browned, separating meat so it remains crumbly rather than cloddish.
• Drain off excess fat; season with salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco.
• Stir in barbecue sauce and simmer over med-low heat 5 minutes, stirring to mix.
• Make the spicy oil: Combine the oil with the chili powder, cumin, coriander, and cardamom.
• Heat mixture to a simmer in a small skillet; stir in the garlic and cook until soft.
• Stir half the spicy oil into the chili; reserve the remaining oil; keep the meat mixture warm.
• Cook the spaghetti until just tender; drain and toss with the butter and keep warm.
• Rinse the beans and place in a small saucepan; add 1/2 cup water and cook over medium heat until warm; drain well.
• To serve--arrange noodles on 4 to 6 plates; top each serving with beans and chopped onion.
• Ladle chili over all and add the reserved spicy oil to taste.
• Sprinkle toppings over, as desired.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, cook ground beef with onion until the beef is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, green chilies, potatoes, water and salt. Simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
