Categories     Casseroles

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 21

FOR THE FILLING:
1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 Tbsp red chili powder
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1 can(s) petite diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
1 can(s) dark kidney beans (14.5 oz)
1 can(s) light kidney beans (14.5 oz)
few pinches of cayenne
olive oil
pepper
FOR THE CORNMEAL CRUST:
1 c all purpose flour
1/2 c cornmeal
1/2 c sugar
8 Tbsp butter, cold and cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c ice water, plus 2 tbsp (if needed)

Steps:

  • 1. PREPARE CHILI:
  • 2. Heat ~ 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet set to medium heat.
  • 3. Add onions once oil is hot and sauté until onions are fragrant and translucent. Add pepper and garlic and continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
  • 4. Add beef and cook until meat is browned.
  • 5. Once meat is browned, immediately add tomatoes and their juices. Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne and salt. Simmer until mixture is slightly thickened.
  • 6. Remove from heat and place in a 1 ½ qt. casserole dish. Allow to cool a bit as you make the crust.
  • 7. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • 8. FOR THE CORNMEAL CRUST:
  • 9. Sift together flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
  • 10. Gradually incorporate cold butter pieces with a pastry cutter, fork or your hands. Continue to incorporate until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • 11. Add ¼ cup very cold water and mix very lightly with your hands. If the dough sticks together enough to form a ball, you have enough water. If there is still dough at the bottom of your bowl, add more water, 1 Tbsp at a time until you can form a ball with the dough.
  • 12. On a well-floured surface, roll the ball out to create a circle that is slightly larger than your casserole dish.
  • 13. Place flattened dough on top of casserole dish, so sides hang over slightly. Turn the overhanging dough under and pinch around the sides of your dish.
  • 14. Cut three slits in the middle of the pie to allow steam to escape.
  • 15. Bake for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Tips for Making Beef Chili with Cornmeal Crust:

  • Use high-quality beef: Opt for chuck roast, brisket, or ground beef with at least 80% lean meat for a flavorful and hearty chili.
  • Brown the beef properly: Searing the beef in a hot pan before adding it to the chili pot helps develop rich flavors and prevents the meat from becoming tough.
  • Use a variety of chili peppers: A combination of mild and hot peppers, such as ancho, guajillo, and cayenne, creates a complex and flavorful chili.
  • Simmer the chili for at least an hour: Allowing the chili to simmer for an extended period allows the flavors to meld and deepen.
  • Top with your favorite toppings: Sour cream, shredded cheese, diced onions, and sliced avocado are all classic toppings that complement the chili perfectly.
