Spicy Montana Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, chili powder, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, the chipotle chiles and sauce, and cook for 1 minute. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes.
• Add the beer and simmer until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and beans and bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve with desired assorted toppings.

Steps:

• Heat oil and add the meat, breaking up any large chunks. When the meat is half way cooked, add the onion and garlic. Sauté until soft. Add water, beef base, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil. Add seasonings and simmer for 10 minutes. Add beans and stewed tomatoes. Cook for one additional minute.

Steps:

• Place the beef in a skillet over medium heat, and cook until evenly brown. Drain grease.
• In a large pot, mix the beans, corn, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and water. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. In a food processor, finely chop the jalapenos, habanero, onion, and garlic. Mix into the pot. Mix in the cooked beef. Stir in masa flour. Season with cayenne pepper, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Cook 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
