Provided by Maya | Wholesome Yum

Categories     Main Course

Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Olive oil for frying
1/2 large Onion ((chopped))
8 cloves Garlic ((minced))
2 1/2 lb Ground beef
2 15-oz can Diced tomatoes ((with liquid))
1 6-oz can Tomato paste
1 4-oz can Green chiles ((with liquid))
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup Chili powder
2 tbsp Cumin
1 tbsp Dried oregano
2 tsp Sea salt
1 tsp Black pepper
1 medium Bay leaf ((optional))

Steps:

  • In a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chopped onion for 5-7 minutes, until translucent (or increase the time to about 20 minutes if you like them caramelized). Add the garlic and cook for a minute or less, until fragrant.
  • Add the ground beef. Cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned.
  • Transfer the ground beef mixture into a slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients, except bay leaf, and stir until combined. Place the bay leaf into the middle, if using.
  • Cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high. If you used a bay leaf, remove it before serving.
  • Select the "Sauté" setting on the pressure cooker (this part is done without the lid). Add a little oil and the chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, until translucent (or increase the time to about 20 minutes if you like them caramelized). Add the garlic and cook for a minute or less, until fragrant.
  • Add the ground beef. Cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned.
  • Add remaining ingredients, except bay leaf, to the Instant Pot and stir until combined. (For the Instant Pot version, it is recommended to also add a cup of water or broth.) Place the bay leaf into the middle, if using.
  • Close the lid. Press "Keep Warm/Cancel"to stop the saute cycle. Select the "Meat/Stew"setting (35 minutes) to start pressure cooking.
  • Wait for the natural release if you can, or turn the valve to "vent"for quick release if you're short on time. If you used a bay leaf, remove it before serving.

BEAN-AND-BEEF CHILI



Bean-and-Beef Chili image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more as needed
3 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large onions, chopped
8 cloves garlic, chopped
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes, coarsely crushed with your hands
1 3/4 cups low-sodium beef broth
1/3 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
2 15-ounce cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
Shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and/or diced avocado, for topping

Steps:

  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Pat the beef dry and season with salt and pepper. Brown in batches, about 4 minutes, adding more oil as needed. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to the pot. Add the onions and garlic; cook, stirring, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add 1/3 cup chili powder, the oregano and tomato paste; cook, stirring, 30 seconds.
  • Return the meat to the pot and stir in the tomatoes with their juices, broth, espresso and pinto beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the beef is tender, about 2 hours.
  • Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons chili powder into the chili. Divide among bowls. Top with cheese, sour cream and/or avocado.
  • Hot:
  • This base recipe is relatively tame; a last-minute hit of chili powder adds just a touch of heat.
  • Hotter:
  • Add 5 crumbled dried arbol chiles to the pot with the tomato paste, then continue as directed.
  • Hottest:
  • Add 5 crumbled dried arbol chiles with the tomato paste and continue as directed, omitting the beans. Stir in 1 cup chopped pickled jalapenos before serving.

BEST NO-BEAN CHILI



Best No-Bean Chili image

Perfect for people who love using their slow cookers. I've tried many chili recipes but this one is the best ever! You can substitute beans for the cornmeal, but I think it takes away from the taste and the smooth texture. I recommend opening a second bottle of porter beer and drink it while cooking this tasty dish! Yum!
