AL ROKER'S SPICY BEEF CHILI



Al Roker's Spicy Beef Chili image

"Spicy, meaty and with just the right amount of beans, it's a terrific chili". I made this after watching Al Roker make it on his morning show. My family prefers the more tradional mild ground beef and beans type of chili but I needed a change. It is spicy, but I personally did not find this too spicy. If you are not overpowered by hot italian sausage that has simmered away, then you should be fine. This is the first chili I have eaten more than 1 bowl of. The first I have made using a diced meat. I made this using 45oz. kidney beans per family preference. Simmered an additional 45 minutes before adding the beans. I did find that it took a lot more time than 15 minutes to thicken. Possibly due to the rain here? Much thicker and better on day 2! If it were not for my partners "delicate" palate, I would up the heat a bit. Cooking times were provided by the recipe with the 45 minutes being active cooking time.

1 cup water
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Chop and measure all your ingredients before you start cooking. This will make the cooking process go much smoother and faster.
  • Brown Your Meat: Browning the meat adds a lot of flavor to the chili. Make sure to brown it in batches so that it doesn't steam and release its juices.
  • Use Good Quality Spices: Freshly ground spices will give your chili the best flavor. If you can, buy whole spices and grind them yourself just before using.
  • Don't Skimp on the Veggies: Veggies add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the chili. Use a variety of veggies, such as onions, peppers, carrots, and celery.
  • Simmer, Don't Boil: Simmering the chili allows the flavors to develop and deepen. Don't let it boil, as this can make the chili tough and overcooked.
  • Taste and Adjust Seasonings: Taste the chili as it simmers and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or chili powder.
  • Serve with Toppings: Chili is delicious on its own, but it's even better with toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped onions, and avocado.
