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.

2 pounds lean ground beef

2 15 1/2-ounce cans hot chili beans (with chipotle peppers) or other canned chili beans
1 1.48-ounce package chili seasoning mix

  • Use a variety of chili peppers: This will give your chili a complex flavor. Some good options include ancho, guajillo, and chipotle peppers.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: Cumin, chili powder, and oregano are all classic chili spices, but you can also add other spices like smoked paprika, coriander, or cayenne pepper.
  • Add some sweetness to balance out the heat: This could be in the form of brown sugar, honey, or even applesauce.
  • Let the chili simmer for a long time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include cheese, sour cream, onions, and jalapenos.
