$50 Chili - for the Crockpot image

First, thank you to *Parsley* - Chef # 199848 - for inspiring me with her "Thick and Chunky Crock Pot Game Day Chili," Recipe #251837. I had tried about 20 different recipes for Chili, and *Parsley*'s was the best. But I've been tweaking it for a year and a half now, and I think I did it! This chili is medium to medium-hot, not very sweet, hearty and stew-like, with depth and a delicious aftertaste. I make in a 7-quart crockpot, for my large family. If you like your chili sweeter, use a red onion instead of a white onion; add more brown sugar; and/or add more chocolate chips. Be careful: a little chocolate - just like cumin and cinnamon - goes a looonnnngggg way!

Time 5h45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 1/2 lbs stewing beef, cut into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch cubes
1 1/2 lbs stewing pork, cut into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch cubes
1 big white onion, chopped
3 small bell peppers, chopped, I like to use 1 each of red, yellow, and orange
1 -2 orange habanero pepper, chopped, careful, these are HOT
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon spice world chopped garlic
5 (15 1/2 ounce) cans beans, I use 2 cans dark red kidneys, 2 cans light red kidneys, and 1 can black
2 (16 ounce) jars chunky salsa, medium (I like Pace)
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can beef broth
1 1/2-2 cups crushed tostito tortilla chips
1 chicken bouillon cube, crushed
1 beef bouillon cube, crushed
1 1/4 teaspoons sazon goya
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
5 teaspoons Mexican chili powder
4 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
5 -10 dark chocolate chips, yes, between 5 and 10 chips, depending on desired sweetness

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a 7-quart crockpot. It might be easier to combine in a larger vessel, mix, and THEN transfer to your crockpot. Cook on "High" for 5 hours, or "Low" for 8 hours.
  • I typically serve the chili over a bed of whole Tostito chips, with a layer of shredded cheese in between.

I've made this chili several times and it's always a winner. I love that I can make it ahead of time and it's even better the next day.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chili didn't turn out as good as I expected. It was a little bland and the meat was a bit tough.

This chili was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best chili he's ever had.

I wasn't sure how this chili would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was really good! The only thing I would change is to add a little more spice.

This chili was amazing! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. The flavors were so rich and complex, and the meat was so tender. I will definitely be making this again.
