Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef chuck, preferably coarse grind (see Cook's Note)
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed
Two 15.5-ounce cans kidney beans, undrained
Sour cream, shredded Cheddar and sliced scallions, for serving
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until just browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the cooked ground beef and any accumulated liquid, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the chili, partially covered, until the beef is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir in the beans and their liquid and simmer uncovered until the beans are softened and the chili is thickened, about 30 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Top with sour cream, Cheddar and scallions. Serve with tortilla chips.

CHILI SAUCE ( FOR CANNING)



CHILI SAUCE ( FOR CANNING) image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Tomato     Simmer

Yield 12-13 pints

Number Of Ingredients 20

2011 batch.
· 2 cups sweet green peppers, chopped, used 2 full peppers, yellow/red
· 3 medium chopped onions,
· 6 red peppers, seeded and chopped, All Jalapeno, cored but left many seeds
· 2 Anaheim peppers seeded and chopped, Cored but left many seeds
· 55 Romo tomatoes(5 quarts peeled, chopped)
· 4 Tbl Chopped Garlic
· 1 Tbl. salt
· 1 1/2 cup vinegar
· 1 cup sugar (used ¾ cup brown, keep at 1 cup)
· 1 Tbls. celery seed
· 1 tsp Nutmeg
· 1 tsp. ground allspice
· 1 tsp. ground ginger
· 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
· 1 tsp. ground cloves
· 1 tsp. Coriander seed
The last several ingredients basically duplicate a typical pickeling spice bag normally using whole elements and hung while cooking.
Flavor is bolder, just warm enough to earn its namesake, not at all sweet!
Leaving many seeds with the peppers is what I think makes this version warmer.

Steps:

  • Combine and add all ingredients to a heavy sauce pan or cast iron skillet. Bring to a boil and simmer 1 to 2 hours or till desired thickness has been reached. Stir often to prevent sticking. Pack hot jars with hot prepared tomato mixture leaving 1/2-inch head space. Remove air bubbles. Wipe rim and screw threads and adjust lids and screw bands. Hot Pack 15 minutes Follow all normal canning guidelines.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best chili sauce. Roma tomatoes are a good option because they have a low water content and a concentrated flavor.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes before making the sauce will intensify their flavor and make them sweeter.
  • Use a variety of chili peppers: For a complex flavor, use a combination of different types of chili peppers, such as cayenne, ancho, and chipotle.
  • Simmer the sauce for a long time: The longer the sauce simmers, the better the flavors will develop. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour.
  • Adjust the seasonings to taste: Taste the sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more chili powder, cumin, or salt.

Conclusion:

Chili sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes, from tacos and burritos to burgers and hot dogs. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make a delicious and flavorful chili sauce that will add a kick to your favorite foods.
