RUSTLER'S CHILI CON CARNE WITH BEANS



Rustler's Chili Con Carne With Beans image

Its Chili Time! When the weather FINALLY turns cool , it's time for a steaming "Bowl of Red"! Chili, to an aficionado, is more than a spicy stew; it is a craving, a passion, for a simmered combination of meat and chile peppers that warms the heart and inspires the soul. The exact origin of chili is still shrouded in mystery. Some people believe it wa s originated by chuckwagon cooks who regularly prepared stew for the cowpokes of the Southwest. Possibly, one of the these cooks ran out of black pepper and in his search for a substitute, he came across some red chile peppers which were common among the Indians and Mexicans in the territory that is now west Texas. These undomesticated capsicums were extremely hot. When the cowboys inquired about the source of the extreme heat, they were told that the heat came from the "chile", or hot pepper. Over time, this sizzling stew became popular in its own right, and became known as "chili".

CROCK POT CHILI CON CARNE WITH BEANS



Crock Pot Chili Con Carne With Beans image

I just won "First Place" at a country fair with this recipe. The fresh tomatoes and chili peppers give it a fresh and pleasant taste.

Provided by Jim Trebilcox

Categories     Weeknight

Time 10h20m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb bacon, cut up in small chunks
4 lbs ground beef
4 (1 lb) cans canned kidney beans
28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes (Hunts has them spiced for chili)
12 ounces tomato paste
2 onions, finely chopped
4 ounces chili powder
4 ounces cayenne pepper (dry powder)
2 (10 ounce) cans beef broth
2 fresh tomatoes
2 jalapeno peppers or 2 serrano peppers
3 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon oregano
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon until it starts to brown, then put it into the crock pot.
  • In the bacon drippings, brown the ground beef.
  • Put the ground beef, beans, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, chili powder (In Southern California we have a great variety available, but Gebhardt's would work), and the cayenne into the crock pot with the beef broth.
  • Cut the stems off the fresh jalapenos and cut them in two or three chunks.
  • place the peppers along with the garlic and whole fresh tomatoes into a food processor and puree the three ingredients.
  • Put this into the crock pot, stir to mix and let it all cook for 10-12 hours on low or 5-6 hours on high.
  • By making a puree out to of the peppers and garlic, you get a more evenly dispersed blend.
  • I used the tomatoes to give some moisture to the puree.
  • Serrano chilies are three times hotter than jalapenos so don't let their small size fool you.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will add different textures and flavors to your chili. Good choices include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and great northern beans.
  • Don't crowd the pot. If you're using a lot of beans, be sure to use a large pot so that they have room to cook evenly.
  • Brown the meat well. This will help to develop the flavor of the chili.
  • Use a good quality chili powder. This is the key ingredient in chili, so make sure you use a brand that you trust.
  • Add some heat. If you like your chili spicy, add some cayenne pepper or chili peppers to taste.
  • Simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include cheese, sour cream, onions, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Chili con carne is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a hearty weekend dinner. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a chili con carne recipe that everyone will love.
