ALL AMERICAN COUNTY FAIR PRIZE WINNING CHILI

After my five roommates and I have this for dinner I am still left with about 30 to 40 individual servings in the freezer. This chili freezes perfectly. I make this up once every 6 months and the last bag tastes just as good as the day I made it! Before sharing this recipe I had to think long and hard because it truly is my most prized and coveted recipe. It took me years of playing around and it's just near perfect. If you win at the county fair all I ask for is honorable mention, a picture of the ribbon, a postcard from your town, and maybe your favorite pie recipe! Be sure to load it up with cheddar, sour cream, bread and nacho chips!! Also great for chili dogs!! ***Response to Reviews: I understand some people want the taste of cumin in their chili - I don't like cumin & think it has no place in chili - not in my chili anyway. As to the "no chili" flavour review, I completely understand if it is the cumin you are missing. Maybe you should have considered that before trying this recipe then writing a bad review of it. If you followed the recipe & used the peppers you would find it to be packed with flavour & a moderate heat. Happy many have enjoyed this cumin-free recipe. :)

Time 6h

Yield 2 dutch oven pots, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes
1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
8 ounces water
1 large onion, chopped
3 -5 garlic cloves, minced
4 -5 stalks celery, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 sweet red pepper, chopped
5 chili peppers, whole (cut slits lengthwise)
5 jalapeno peppers, whole (cut slits lengthwise)
1 zucchini, chopped
1 eggplant, chopped
2 cups baby carrots (whole)
20 -30 button mushrooms (whole)
2 cups frozen corn
1 lb steak, diced (any cut)
1 lb ground chicken (I like to use chicken) or 1 lb ground pork (I like to use chicken)
1 (20 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, cooked
1 (20 ounce) can black turtle beans, cooked
1 (20 ounce) can lentils, cooked
1 pinch oregano (use sparingly, strong flavour)
basil (to taste)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
black pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Put ALL ingredients in a pot and cook for 5 to 10 hours.
  • Stir occasionally.
  • Put the chili and jalapeno peppers in last with their stems sticking up out of the chili. This makes them easy to remove for those who don't want their chili hot!
  • The ingredients list is enough to make 2 pots worth (dutch oven size).
  • I usually omit the meat from one pot and make a vegetarian batch at the same time. It's good for your vegan friends and as lighter fare for lunch!
  • **All amounts are approximate. Use what is convenient, available and adjust to taste.
  • **The meat can go into the pot raw with all the other ingredients. It will cook right along with them and be more flavourful and tender as a result - especially the steak. I am so happy you like this chili! Thank you for the great reviews! Enjoy!

1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cups merlot or 1 1/4 cups other fruity red wine
2 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes, undrained and coarsely chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese (2 ounces)

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and Great Northern beans.
  • Don't skimp on the meat. A good chili should have a good amount of meat in it. Use a combination of ground beef and sausage for the best flavor.
  • Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will add a lot of flavor and nutrition to your chili. Some good options include onions, celery, carrots, and bell peppers.
  • Use a good quality chili powder. The chili powder is one of the most important ingredients in chili, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a chili powder that is made with 100% chili peppers and has a deep red color.
  • Season to taste. Every palate is different, so it's important to season your chili to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices until it reaches the desired flavor.
  • Let your chili simmer. The longer your chili simmers, the better the flavor will be. Simmer your chili for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for the best flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. There are many different toppings that you can serve with chili, such as sour cream, cheese, onions, and jalapenos. Choose your favorite toppings and enjoy!
