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.

AL ROKER'S SPICY BEEF CHILI



Al Roker's Spicy Beef Chili image

"Spicy, meaty and with just the right amount of beans, it's a terrific chili". I made this after watching Al Roker make it on his morning show. My family prefers the more tradional mild ground beef and beans type of chili but I needed a change. It is spicy, but I personally did not find this too spicy. If you are not overpowered by hot italian sausage that has simmered away, then you should be fine. This is the first chili I have eaten more than 1 bowl of. The first I have made using a diced meat. I made this using 45oz. kidney beans per family preference. Simmered an additional 45 minutes before adding the beans. I did find that it took a lot more time than 15 minutes to thicken. Possibly due to the rain here? Much thicker and better on day 2! If it were not for my partners "delicate" palate, I would up the heat a bit. Cooking times were provided by the recipe with the 45 minutes being active cooking time.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beef: Chuck roast or ground beef are great options for chili, as they have a good amount of fat and connective tissue that will break down and add flavor to the dish.
  • Brown the beef well: This will help to develop the flavor and prevent the chili from becoming greasy.
  • Use a variety of spices: Chili powder, cumin, oregano, and paprika are all classic chili spices, but you can also add others to taste, such as cayenne pepper, chipotle powder, or smoked paprika.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients: You can add vegetables, beans, or even chocolate to your chili. Just make sure to taste it as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
  • Let the chili simmer for a while: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Sour cream, shredded cheese, diced onions, and crushed tortilla chips are all popular options.

Conclusion:

Spicy beef chili is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef.
