Mommys Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, crumbling with a spoon until evenly browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Add remaining oil to the pot and return to medium-high heat. Add onion and saute, stirring often, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add poblano, bell, and jalapeno peppers and garlic; cook, stirring frequently until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne, and oregano; cook for 1 minute. Add beer and stir, scraping any small brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add crushed and fire-roasted tomatoes, tomato puree, beef stock, chipotle pepper, and adobo sauce; stir until well combined. Bring to a simmer, stirring often.
• Stir in beef and kidney beans; return to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for at least 3 hours.

Steps:

• Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat until hot, about 45 seconds. Add 1 tablespoon oil, then add peppers and onion; saute until soft, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a large soup pot and set aside.
• Increase the heat under the frying pan to high and let the pan get very hot, about 90 seconds. Add 1 tablespoon oil, then add 1/2 of the ground beef; cook and stir in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, about 6 minutes. Transfer to the soup pot, and drain and discard grease from the frying pan. Repeat with remaining oil and beef.
• Add tomatoes, broth, chili powder, tomato paste, cumin, oregano, salt, and cayenne pepper to the beef mixture; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes.
• Add kidney beans and black beans; simmer until beans are heated through, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef and drain.
• Put all ingredients in crock pot and stir well.
• Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or high for 4 to 6 hours. I also like to take the lid off the crock pot the last hour or two (when I'm home) to allow some of the water to burn off.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cook beef and onion until meat is brown. Stir in beans, diced tomatoes, chili seasoning, salt, pepper, chili powder and water. Reduce heat and simmer 2 hours.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat, add the oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the onions and season with pinch of salt. Cook until the onions are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chipotle peppers and tomato paste and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the turkey, breaking the meat down using a spatula. Add the dried seasonings--the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin and ancho chili powder--and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons each salt and pepper and mix as you break the meat down more using the spatula. Allow this to cook until all of the meat is browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer the cooked turkey to a medium bowl and set aside.
• Using the same skillet (don't worry about cleaning the skillet out; it's okay for those flavors to also mesh with the chorizo), add the beef chorizo and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
• In a large pot, add the chili base, chile sauce and tomato sauce over medium to medium-low heat. Let the brick break down completely, then add the meat mixture and cooked chorizo to the pot. Next, add the crushed tomatoes and chili beans with their liquid and allow to cook until the beans and tomatoes are heated through and the flavors are combined, 30 to 35 minutes over medium to low heat. Serve with sour cream, avocado, Cotija, Cheddar, green onions and corn chips for topping!

Steps:

• Cook onion, celery, and ground beef in large saucepan over medium heat until beef is cooked and celery and onion are tender, drain.
• Add onion, celery, and ground beef back into saucepan.
• Add remaining ingredients and simmer 20 minutes.
• Serve with crackers, melted cheese, sour cream, or whatever sounds good.
