Pa Paws Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until just browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
• Add the jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the cooked ground beef and any accumulated liquid, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the chili, partially covered, until the beef is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in the beans and their liquid and simmer uncovered until the beans are softened and the chili is thickened, about 30 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
• Top with sour cream, Cheddar and scallions. Serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Brown meat and onions in a skillet; drain off fat. Add all other ingredients, bring to a boil, and then simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Let stand in refrigerator for 24 hours. Reheat and serve.

Steps:

• In a large pot start browning ground beef.
• When beef is half done add all veg. to pot.
• When veg. are half done add remaining ingredients excluding the tomato paste.
• Bring to a boil over high heat stirring often.
• Lower heat to simmer and let cook for 2 to 6 hours stirring often (the longer then better).
• If chili is not thick enough for you add the tomato paste.
• If you want to add beans go ahead, but this chili is great without them!
