Best 9 Bonnies Chili Recipes

BONNIE'S CANNELLINI CHILI

Steps:

• 1. Chop the meat put it in a large skillet with the olive oil over medium heat and saute until brown on both sides, set aside and put in the chopped vegetables and saute until half tender about 10 minutes then add the garlic, cook two minutes. Add the remaining dry seasonings and the salt and pepper, stir and cook for another minute.
• 2. Add the tomatoes. Stir, and add the broth, stir again, cover and simmer until pork is tender. Add the drained and rinsed beans. To thicken: Whisk the cornstarch in about 1/4 cup of cold water until smooth and add to the soup, simmer another ten minutes, top with cilantro and cheese and serve.
• 3. Cook's Tip: You can cook this in the crockpot after you have sauteed the vegetables and added the seasonings. Just transfer it to the crockpot and cook on low for 2 or 3 hours. If you use cooked leftover pork, just skip the meat browning step, and add the cooked pork to the vegetables after they have sauteed and stir it in.

THE BEST CHILI

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.

BONNIE'S EASY WESTERN STYLE CHILI

Steps:

• 1. Brown the meat and onions in a large skillet. Add the seasonings, tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Simmer for about 15 minutes.
• 2. Add the cans of chili, stir, and simmer for about a half hour. If you allow it to sit overnight and let the flavors blend, it is awesome. I heat it up in the crockpot the next day. Great for get togethers! Enjoy!

CORNY CHILI

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. , Transfer to a 3-qt. slow cooker. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, corn, picante sauce, chili powder and garlic powder. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until heated through. Serve with corn chips, sour cream and cheese if desired.

BONNIE'S CHILI RELLENOS RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Roast the peppers on the grill or over a gas flame charring the skins. You don't want to cook the chili just loosen the skin. Place the chilis in a plastic or paper bag and let sit for 20 minutes or so. Take a paper towel and rub the chard skin from the chilis. Make a slit lengthwise in the chili and remove the seeds. I like to leave the stem on for the presentation. Lay the chilis out on paper towels and blot excess moisture off. Depending on the size of the chilis you will want to cut 4 logs cheese about 1/2" x 1/2" x 4" in size. Stuff each chili with one log and wrap the chili around it like a blanket. Seperate the eggs adding the whites to a mixing bowel and reserving the yokes. Note: If you have fresh home grown eggs the color of this dish is amazing. Beat the whites with a mixer until stiff. Stir yokes together and fold into the whites along with the flour and salt. Sprinkle the flour and salt over the top because you don't want to blend the mixture any more than you have to because the batter will loose it's volume. Heat a griddle to medium heat, you want the chilis to cook to golden brown and not burn. If the heat is too high they will not cook through. Spray the griddle with Pam, coat each chili in the batter, use your hands, and place on the griddle to cook. In a saucepan blend the salsa and cornstarch together and heat over medium heat until thickened. When your chilis are golden brown on both sides serve topped with salsa. I like to serve a simple salad of shredded iceberg lettuce and tomato slices, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil and cremma. Enjoy!

BONNIE'S MEXICAN GREEN CHILE HOT POT

Steps:

• Note. My inspiration for this recipe was Andy Anderson's Awesome Baked Garlic & Chicken. Thanks, Chef!
• Wash and peel the potatoes, cut into cubes. Peel onion and cut into chunks. Wash and scrape the carrots, cut into chunks.
• Blot the vegetables with a clean towel. Set aside
• Rinse the 6 chicken thighs, remove the bones, and trim away about half of the chicken skin from the thighs, leaving the rest of the fat intact. Blot with paper towels to dry.
• Sprinkle thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Place oil and bacon grease in the dutch oven and heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place the chicken in the hot pot with the skin side down in the hot grease. Fry until golden brown and turn and fry the other side.
• Remove the browned thighs to a plate. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• Scrape to loosen the brown bits in the hot pot, then add the chopped potatoes, onions, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, and carrots to the pot. Toss to coat with oil.
• Add the following ingredients but don't stir. Add the 1 cup of mushrooms, return the browned chicken to the pot, and add the 7 oz can of drained chilis, 1 TBS cumin, and 1/4 cup Rotel.
• Slowly, pour in the 2 cups chicken broth, 1/4 cup wine, and 1 TBS Worcestershire sauce over the chicken. Don't stir.
• Bake this dish 1 hour 30 minutes. Serve in bowls with the pot juices drizzled over the meat and veggies. Add bread or warm tortillas to your meal -- your choice. Enjoy!
• MONEY SAVING TIP: Since you will only be using 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Rotel, you can freeze the rest in a sandwich baggie. As soon as it is frozen, transfer the Rotel to a ziplock bag. I use this method to freeze small amounts of salsa, Rotel, green chilis, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, etc.
