Smoky Barbecue Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until bacon begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Add onion, cover, and cook until translucent, 4 to 8 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high. Add ground beef and cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 6 to 10 minutes. Stir in chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper; cook for 2 to 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, beer, tomato sauce, Worcestershire, and hot sauce; stir well.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover partially and cook until reduced, 30 to 45 minutes. Stir in black and kidney beans. Cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Coat pan with cooking spray.
• Add onions and garlic to pan; saute 5 minutes. Add chiles; cook 2 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil.
• Cover, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes or until chiles are tender. Cool slightly.
• Place half of the chile mixture in a blender.
• Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid spills). Blend until smooth.
• Pour into a medium bowl and repeat procedure with remaining chile mixture.
• Heat 1 1/2 tsp oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook 7 minutes or until browned. Remove from pan.
• Heat remaining 1 1/2 tsp oil in pan. Add pork and cook 7 minutes or until browned.
• Add chile mixture and beef to pan.
• Stir in tomato puree and remaining ingredients except beans; bring to a boil.
• Partially cover, reduce heat and simmer 1 hour or until tender, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients for the barbecue sauce in small pot and cook over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens and the flavors combine, about for 20 minutes.
• Whisk together the vinegar, honey and oil, in a medium bowl. Stir in the celery salt and black pepper, to taste. Add the slaw mix and onions and toss together. Let the salad wilt up to 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat a grill or griddle to medium.
• Put the meat in a bowl with the grated onion and season with steak seasoning or salt and pepper, to taste. In a small bowl combine the Worcestershire with the herbs, chili powder and beer. Pour the herb mixture over the meat and mix thoroughly. Form the meat mixture into 12 sliders and drizzle with vegetable oil or olive oil. Put the burgers on the grill or griddle and cook for a few minutes on each side. Baste the burgers liberally with barbecue sauce. Top the burgers with Cheddar and let it melt, if you prefer cheese burgers.
• Serve the burgers on slider rolls topped with pickle slices and the slaw.

Steps:

• Remove the stems from the chillies, then tip onto a sheet of foil with the garlic cloves, a drizzle of olive oil, caster sugar and some salt. Lift the sides of the foil up and scrunch to close.
• Grill on the barbecue (or roast at 160C/140C fan/gas 3) for 30 mins until the garlic is soft. Tip into a large pestle and mortar or food processor with 1 tbsp olive oil, and crush or blitz to a chunky sauce. Will keep in the fridge for up to two days.
