CALICO CHILI



Calico Chili image

In the winter months I try to cook a pot of something every week. I love making soups, stews and stick to your ribs meals that will last for more than one meal. This week it's my Calico Chili. You can easily change this up and use ground turkey or no meat at all, just add a few more beans.

Categories     Chili

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb lean ground beef, or ground turkey (omit for vegan)
4 celery stalks diced
1 onions, yellow, medium diced
1 can(s) 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes
1 can(s) 46 oz tomato juice
5 can(s) 15.5 oz beans - i use 2 dark red kidney, 1 black bean,1 great northern, 1 pinto. but you can use any combo you like
1 Tbsp fresh cilantro - chopped finely
2 Tbsp fresh parsley - choppen finely
1 tsp salt -or to taste
1/2 tsp pepper - or to taste
1 Tbsp chili powder
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1 pinch ground cinnamon - don't over do on this - you only need a hint of the cinnamon flavor
1 Tbsp sugar
shredded cheese & sour cream for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. In a large dutch oven, brown meat with celery & onion, cilantro & parsley on high heat. Add salt, pepper, and about half of the other spices (excluding sugar). Stir and chop up meat while browning.
  • 2. While meat is browning, open beans and rinse and drain in a colander. When meat is brown, add all of the beans, the diced tomatoes and most of the tomato juice. Stir in the remainder of the spices and the sugar. Add the remaining tomato juice if there is enough room in the pan. Stir, bring to a boil, turn heat down to low and simmer for at least 1 hour.
  • 3. If making the vegan version add 2 more cans of beans. The more variety the better.
  • 4. Like anything made with tomatoes, the longer this cooks, the better! Consider making it a day ahead. Serve with a sprinkle of shredded cheese (cheddar is best) and a dollop of sour cream. Corn bread is a great side dish.

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.

Categories     main-dish

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.

Lauralie41 (Lori) gifted me with a RecipeZaar premium membership renewal and I wanted to thank her for her kindness! Please feel free to change the ingredients to personalize it to your tastes. If you don't want to use the crockpot, just make everything in a large pot, cover and let simmer on low for at least an hour. I have included some of Lori's favourite ingredients in this hearty soup and I hope that she and you like it. Enjoy!

Categories     Beans

Time 6h45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs extra lean ground beef
2 cups onions, diced (1 large onion, can use white, red or a combination)
1 cup celery, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup low-sodium taco seasoning (I use CoffeeB's Taco Seasoning Mix with less salt)
2 cups beef broth (may need more)
1 cup corn
1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas (or your preferred bean)
1 (19 ounce) can kidney beans (or your preferred bean)
1 (10 ounce) can mushrooms, sliced, with juice
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, crushed or diced
cheddar cheese, grated (optional)
avocado, diced (optional)
tortilla chips, broken (optional)

Steps:

  • In a nonstick pan, lightly brown ground beef. If you are using anything other than extra lean beef, you may want to strain off the fat now. Add onion, celery and garlic and saute for about 5 minutes.
  • Add taco seasoning and beef broth and simmer for 15 minutes. This will infuse a lot of flavour into the ground beef. Meanwhile, add remaining ingredients to the crockpot. You can add the liquid from the beans or not - I did.
  • Add ground beef mixture to the crockpot. If you find that there isn't enough liquid, add more beef broth. I cooked it on low for 6 hours, but I can't imagine why it can't be cooked longer. The longer you cook soups in a crockpot, the better they taste!
  • If you can taste the soup partway through, you may want to season it to your tastes at this point. Add some freshly ground pepper, chili powder or any of your favourite spices or seasonings.
  • Top with grated cheese and diced avocado and tortilla chip pieces if you wish.

DOWN AND DIRTY GARLIC CHILI



Down and Dirty Garlic Chili image

This recipe is something I will whip together on nights when spaghetti just won't cut it, but time is a commodity worth more than gold. There are only two in my family, but that just means plenty of yummy leftovers. Serve this chili with cheese on top and a thick slice of homemade sourdough bread and you've got a winner. The measurements are approximations since I'm more of a shake and dab type of cook, but this is generally right. This gives more kick than you might think, so be lenient with the pepper flakes if you are serving kids!
