THE BEST CHILI



The Best Chili image

There are a thousand ways to make chili, but this is the quintessential, totally classic version. We used ground beef, kidney beans and the perfect blend of spices. You can slather it on hot dogs and burgers or serve it as a dip, but it can surely stand on its own. Chances are, you have everything you need right in your pantry. Top it with your favorite garnishes and serve with plenty of tortilla chips.

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.

KICKIN' GOOD CHILI



Kickin' Good Chili image

This chili is really quick and easy to make if using canned beans and tomatoes. Takes a little longer using dried beans. This is a spicy chili with 3 jalapeno's cut up in it. You can reduce the heat by reducing the number of jalapeno's you put in it. Or, if you like it hotter, add more and add the seeds. We love our chili...

KICKIN CHILI



Kickin Chili image

This is a wonderful chili, from Chef Emeril Legasse. The recipe for his famous seasoning,**Southwast Essense is listed below the ingredients for the chili. It's a great seasoning for just about anything. Just put all of the spices into a small bowl, mix and keep in an airtight container or bag. It makes about half cup. I usually at least triple the recipe for the Essence.

2 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes, crushed

My low-fat version of chili with a kick! Sometimes I use more chili powder and cumin - it just depends on the day! :) Feel free to modify to your tastes! Note: This recipe makes a lot, but it freezes well.

Provided by AnnieLynne

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
7 cups water
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 onion, chopped fine
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (16 ounce) jar medium salsa
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can tomato soup
2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, with juice (OR 1 can with chilis and 1 can without)
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 (15 ounce) cans chili beans
3 cups frozen corn (can substitute with canned corn)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
sour cream (optional)
shredded monterey jack cheese (optional) or cheddar cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Add water, garlic powder, parsley, and onion powder to large soup pot and bring to a boil.
  • Add chicken breasts and cook (covered)on medium heat until cooked through (about 12 minutes).
  • While chicken boils, chop onion and garlic.
  • Heat olive oil in a souce pan on low heat. Add onions and garlic to olive oil. Cook on low until onions are translucent.
  • Add jar of salsa to onion/garlic mixture, continue cooking on low, and stir occasionally.
  • When chicken is cooked through, remove chicken breasts from soup pot. Keep remaining broth on medium heat.
  • Add tomato soup, diced tomatoes (with juice), corn (frozen or canned), beans, chili powder, cumin, and the garlic/onion/salsa mixture to soup pot and stir to blend.
  • When chicken is cool enough to handle, shred and return to soup pot.
  • Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. As with most chilis, the longer you let it simmer, the better the flavors!
  • Serve with sour cream and shredded cheese.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans for a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a combination of black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat. A little bit of chili powder or cayenne pepper can go a long way in adding flavor to your chili.
  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your chili the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook your chili. The longer you cook it, the more the flavors will meld together, but if you cook it for too long, the vegetables will become mushy.
  • Serve your chili with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, shredded cheese, and diced onions.
