Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

3 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 dried guajillo or pasilla chiles, stemmed and seeded
3 cups beef stock
1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo, casings removed or 1/3 pound center-cut bacon, finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck (ask butcher for a coarse grind)
Kosher salt and coarse black pepper
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon coriander (about a palmful)
1 tablespoon cumin (about a palmful)
1 1/2 teaspoons Mexican oregano (about 1/2 palmful)
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Pinch cinnamon
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 fresh red Fresno or jalapeno chile, seeded and chopped, or sliced with seeds for extra heat
1 large onion, chopped
Manchego or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
12 ounces dark lager beer, such as Negra Modelo
3 tablespoons masa harina or corn meal
1 tablespoon honey
Cilantro leaves
Lime wedges
Minced raw onions
Pepitas
Pickled sliced jalapenos or chopped giardiniera mix
Sour cream
Crushed tortilla or other chips, such as Fritos

Steps:

  • Place the ancho and guajillo chiles in a small saucepot and cover with the stock. Bring to a low boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently 10 to 15 minutes. Puree and reserve.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Add the chorizo and begin to render the fat. Pat the beef dry with paper towel and sprinkle with salt and black pepper before adding into the Dutch oven with the Worcestershire. Cook until a nice crusty brown develops on the beef (the salt helps make a nice crust on meat). Add the coriander, cumin, oregano, cloves, cinnamon, garlic, chile and onions and cook until the onions are soft. Pour in the beer to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits that have accumulated on the bottom of the pan. Add the dried chili puree, masa harina and honey. Reduce the heat to low and simmer to thicken and develop flavor, 45 minutes.
  • Serve with the toppings of your choice.

EASY BLACK BEAN CHILI



Easy Black Bean Chili image

We love chili for its rib-sticking deliciousness, and this meatless version is no exception. Just because it's made with beans, and no meat, doesn't mean it's not filling. Cumin, chili powder and chiles add heat, while fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans and sweet corn give it extra flavor.

TOUCHDOWN BLACK BEAN BASH

This recipe came from Woman's Day Magazine in 1993 and won 1st prize in a Super Bowl contest. It is one of my family's favorites. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. It seems a bit lengthy but it really comes together pretty quickly. I usually start my rice in the rice cooker before putting this together.

TOUCHDOWN CHILI



Touchdown Chili image

This is a chili I've been making every year during football season since I was 10. Depending on the year, the heat of the chili changed. It all depends on the people I was serving. I totally made up this chili recipe as a kid, putting in it what I thought would taste good. Little has been added or changed throughout the years. It is requested by family and friends that I make this chili at least 4 times during the season. I've never had a name for it, but at one time, when it was its hottest ever, we termed it "Liquid Evil." Figured "Touchdown Chili" is good enough for now. As you'll be able to tell from the recipe, it makes about 8 quarts. A bit of a secret: I serve a piece or two of chocolate with the chili. Have never found anything better to sooth a scortched tongue.
