Shoot Out 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:

• In a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat, add the bacon fat, garlic, onions and peppers, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, pureed tomatillos, chipotles, chili powder and cumin. Cook as long as possible, at least 30 minutes. Add stock or tomato sauce if the chili becomes too thick.
• Add the cilantro and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with Andouille Tomatillo Topping and serve.
• In a mixing bowl, toss the tomatillos, andouille, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice and zest. Add salt and pepper to taste.
