MY BEST KID-FRIENDLY CHILI



My Best Kid-Friendly Chili image

The husband and I love chili, and love it spicy! But cooking for 3 little children requires me to tone it down for their taste buds. We like to add a few dashes of Sriracha® or fresh chopped jalapeno and onion to make up for the missing heat. The kids are partial to goldfish crackers on top! But as with any chili, feel free to top it with your favorites. If you are lucky enough to live near an Italian market, the salsiccia is best in our opinion. If not, then you can sub another kind of ground Italian sausage. It may be light on spice, but full of flavor!

Time 2h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 green bell pepper
1 pound ground beef sirloin
1 pound ground salsiccia sausage
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 onions, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 (15 ounce) cans chili beans, undrained
1 cup brewed coffee
1 (7 ounce) can diced green chiles
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup ground cumin
¼ cup chili powder
1 (28 ounce) can canned crushed tomatoes
1 cup water, or as needed
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Place green bell pepper on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Broil bell pepper in the oven, turning every 5 minutes, until skin is blackened and bubbling, about 20 minutes. Transfer roasted pepper to a resealable plastic bag; seal and set aside.
  • Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and ground sausage in the hot Dutch oven until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Transfer ground meat to a bowl.
  • Heat olive oil in the same Dutch oven over medium-low heat; cook and stir onions and garlic in the hot oil until onions are translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Carefully remove roasted pepper from the plastic bag and peel off the blackened layer; chop the pepper. Add chopped bell pepper, ground meat mixture, chili beans, coffee, green chiles, cocoa powder, cumin, and chili powder to the onion mixture; stir well. Simmer, stirring frequently, until warmed, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir crushed tomatoes and water into chili; season with salt. Bring to boil. Cover Dutch oven, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors have blended, at least 30 minutes. Remove cover and simmer until chili is thickened, about 30 more minutes.

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and Great Northern beans.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat. Chili is typically a spicy dish, so don't be afraid to add some chili powder, cayenne pepper, or jalapeños. However, if you're making chili for kids, you may want to tone down the heat.
  • Simmer your chili for a long time. This will help the flavors to meld together and develop. The longer you simmer your chili, the better it will taste.
  • Add some toppings. When you're ready to serve your chili, add some toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped onions, or crushed tortilla chips. This will make your chili even more delicious and satisfying.
