Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more as needed
3 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large onions, chopped
8 cloves garlic, chopped
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes, coarsely crushed with your hands
1 3/4 cups low-sodium beef broth
1/3 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
2 15-ounce cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
Shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and/or diced avocado, for topping

Steps:

  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Pat the beef dry and season with salt and pepper. Brown in batches, about 4 minutes, adding more oil as needed. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to the pot. Add the onions and garlic; cook, stirring, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add 1/3 cup chili powder, the oregano and tomato paste; cook, stirring, 30 seconds.
  • Return the meat to the pot and stir in the tomatoes with their juices, broth, espresso and pinto beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the beef is tender, about 2 hours.
  • Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons chili powder into the chili. Divide among bowls. Top with cheese, sour cream and/or avocado.
  • Hot:
  • This base recipe is relatively tame; a last-minute hit of chili powder adds just a touch of heat.
  • Hotter:
  • Add 5 crumbled dried arbol chiles to the pot with the tomato paste, then continue as directed.
  • Hottest:
  • Add 5 crumbled dried arbol chiles with the tomato paste and continue as directed, omitting the beans. Stir in 1 cup chopped pickled jalapenos before serving.

SPICY THREE-BEAN PANTRY CHILI



Spicy Three-Bean Pantry Chili image

This vegetarian chili gets its rich flavor from caramelizing tomato paste and warming herbs, rather than long hours of cooking. You can amp up the heat by using a spicy salsa or some of the adobo paste (though the chile itself is pretty hot). Add corn for some sweetness, or canned hominy for a chunkier and funkier chili.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 chipotle in adobo, smashed with a fork into a fine paste
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Two 16-ounce jars mild salsa (about 3 1/2 cups)
Three 15-ounce cans beans, such as kidney, black and pinto beans, or your preference, drained (but not rinsed)
Three 15-ounce cans beans, such as kidney, black and pinto beans, or your preference, drained (but not rinsed)
One 15-ounce can hominy or corn, drained (but not rinsed)
1 cup long-grain white rice
1/4 cup cider vinegar
Serving Suggestions: Tortilla chips and sliced pickled jalapenos

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the tomato paste and cook, smearing and stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula or flat-edged wooden spoon, until dark and aromatic, about 90 seconds. Add the chipotle, chili powder and oregano, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the salsa and 1 1/4 cup water. Stir in the beans and hominy. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan with a lid. Stir in the rice, reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
  • Remove the chili from the heat, stir in the cider vinegar and let stand 1 minute. Fluff the rice with a fork, divide it among 6 serving bowls and top with the chili. Serve with pickled jalapenos and tortilla chips, if desired.

SPICY CHILI WITH BEANS



Spicy Chili With Beans image

I found this in a crock pot cookbook. The original recipe doesn't call for corn, but I added it anyway. If you don't like it so spicy, don't add so much chili powder and/or pepper. We never use the salt; I used it the first time and we couldn't taste it anyway.

SPICY BEEF CHILI



Spicy Beef Chili image

If you like really spicy beef chili, this is a quick and simple recipe to try. I don't include measurements for some of the spices as they should be to taste (the more, the better for me). I taste the chili throughout the simmering process and add more spice as I go.

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
½ medium onion, chopped
1 pound ground beef
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper, or more to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 (14.5 ounce) can tomato sauce

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, dice your onion, mince your garlic, and chop your bell pepper and jalapeño. This will save you time and ensure that everything cooks evenly.
  • Use Fresh Spices: Freshly ground spices provide the best flavor, so use them whenever possible. If you don't have fresh spices, use half the amount of dried spices.
  • Don't Overcook the Beef: Overcooked beef is tough and chewy. Cook it just until it's browned and no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes.
  • Simmer the Chili for at Least 30 Minutes: This allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: Some popular toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and tortilla chips.

Conclusion:

This spicy beef and bean chili is a hearty, flavorful dish that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this chili a try!
