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.

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground pork
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped, divided
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 habanero peppers, seeded and minced
2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chopped green onion
3 (15 ounce) cans chili beans

Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir the drained meat into the onion mixture along with the green onion, chili beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, beer, and water. Sprinkle with the cornmeal, then season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

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.

2 lb lean ground chuck
1 lb breakfast sausage
2 medium onions, chopped
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
2 stalk(s) celery, chopped
1- 15 oz can(s) kidney beans
1 large can(s) pinto beans
1 can(s) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can(s) tomatoes with green chilies
1 can(s) chili ready diced tomatoes
1 can(s) tomato paste
3-4 Tbsp steak sauce (i used an a-1 type)
seasoned salt (to taste)
ground red pepper (to taste)
2 pkg chili seasoning
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
hot sauce to your liking!

Steps:

  • 1. Brown meat with onions, pepper, and celery. Drain. I put it in a dutch oven at this point.
  • 2. Add all other ingredients. Allow to simmer until the flavors marry. About 30 minutes-1 hour.

Tips for Making Loris' Chili:

  • Choose the right type of chili peppers. Loris' chili recipe calls for a combination of ancho, guajillo, and pasilla chiles. These chiles are all relatively mild, with a smoky and earthy flavor. If you want a spicier chili, you can add a few habanero or cayenne peppers.
  • Toast the chili peppers before using them. Toasting the chili peppers brings out their flavor and makes them more aromatic. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or you can roast them in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10-15 minutes.
  • Soak the chili peppers in hot water before adding them to the chili. Soaking the chili peppers in hot water helps to soften them and make them easier to blend. You can soak them for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Use a variety of beans. Loris' chili recipe calls for a combination of black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans. You can use any type of beans that you like, but be sure to use a variety of colors and textures.
  • Add plenty of vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to chili. Loris' chili recipe calls for onions, garlic, green bell peppers, and carrots. You can also add other vegetables, such as corn, zucchini, or squash.
  • Use a good quality beef broth. The beef broth is the base of the chili, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use homemade beef broth or a store-bought broth. If you're using a store-bought broth, be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
  • Season the chili to taste. Once the chili is finished cooking, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more chili powder, cumin, or salt.
  • Let the chili simmer for a while. The longer the chili simmers, the better the flavors will blend. Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Loris' chili is typically served with sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro. You can also serve it with other toppings, such as avocado, guacamole, or salsa.

Conclusion:

Loris' chili is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover beans and vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a pot of chili that your family and friends will love.
