Time 4h

Yield 5 quarts, 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 1/2 cups dried red beans
1 quart tomato juice
2 quarts water
4 dried cayenne peppers
2/3 teaspoon beef base
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/4 lbs beef suet
3 lbs ground round
1 cup textured vegetable protein
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon msg
1/2 cup mild chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground oregano
2 teaspoons creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon prepared mustard

Steps:

  • All spoons are mounded measurements, but no higher than salt would form. All spices are GFS brand. There's a lot of difference in combination seasonings (cajun seasoning, chili powder and beef base) from one brand to the next. I order the 5 pound mylar bag of unflavored textured vegetable protein from motherearthproducts dot com. It's a quality product in all respects.
  • Prepare the beans in a separate process.
  • Simmer dried beans in a covered pot (with beef base, dried peppers, cumin, salt and garlic pwdr) for 2 to 3 hours in a one to two mix of tomato juice and water.
  • Stir occasionally, adding more tomato juice/water mixture if needed.
  • The cooked tender beans should be swimming in a generous amount of broth.
  • Prepare the chilli by first rendering the suet in a little water on high heat in a 7 quart stew pot.
  • Once rendered into liquid, allow to cool some before skimming off any foam and adding the ground round.
  • On medium high heat, stir and mince until the meat's just fully cooked.
  • On low heat, add the remaining (meat prep) ingredients and mix well.
  • Finally, add your previously prepared beans and broth.
  • Return to medium high heat and stir until the pot comes to a low boil.
  • Set heat to warm and serve with oyster crackers and Tabasco sauce.

SPRINGFIELD CHILLI - FROM COOKING LIGHT



Springfield Chilli - from Cooking Light image

This recipe was featured in an email that I received this morning from Cooking Light. The picture in the email looks delicious. I'm starving! "The Illinois version of chili is typically spelled with an extra "l" and features coarse-ground beef, which we augment here with ground turkey breast. Regular ground meat will work just fine. In 1993, the state legislature proclaimed Springfield the "Chilli Capital of the Civilized World."

1/2 pound coarsely ground sirloin
1 (12-ounce) can beer (such as Budweiser)
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained

1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup (2 ounces) reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
Oyster crackers (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Cook bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat 5 minutes or until browned. Stir in 2 cups onion; cover and cook until onion is tender (about 5 minutes). Uncover and stir in garlic; cook for 1 minute. 2. Increase heat to medium-high; add turkey and sirloin to pan. Cook 5 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add beer; cook until liquid is reduced to 1/3 cup (about 7 minutes). Stir in chili powder and next 5 ingredients (through tomato sauce).

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the chili will taste. If possible, use organic, locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Brown the beef well: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to develop the Maillard reaction, which is a chemical reaction that creates delicious, browned flavors.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When browning the beef, don't overcrowd the pot. If you do, the beef will steam instead of browning.
  • Use a variety of beans: Using a variety of beans adds flavor, texture, and protein to the chili. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
  • Use a good quality chili powder: The chili powder is one of the most important ingredients in chili, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a chili powder that is made with 100% pure chili peppers.
  • Add spices to taste: Chili is a versatile dish, so you can add spices to taste. Some good options include cumin, oregano, and garlic powder.
  • Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the chili for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for chili include cheese, sour cream, and onions.

Conclusion:

Springfield Chili is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With fresh, quality ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious pot of chili that will warm you up from the inside out.
