Best 6 Winter Chili Recipes

WINTER WHITE TURKEY CHILI

Steps:

• Place a large pot over medium heat with the oil. Add the bacon to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and then add the turkey, onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, cumin and chili powder to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the chili, stirring occasionally, until the liquids have thickened and the chili is very aromatic, about 20 minutes.
• Serve the chili garnished with chopped cilantro and avocado.

VEGETARIAN CHILI WITH WINTER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat the beans on top of the stove in a large soup pot or Dutch oven.
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy nonstick skillet and add the onion, carrot and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender and beginning to color, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, stir together until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, and add the ground chili and cumin. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture begins to stick to the pan. Add the tomatoes and oregano, and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the mixture is beginning to stick to the pan, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste dissolved in water and bring back to a simmer. Season with salt to taste and simmer, stirring often, for 10 minutes, until the mixture is thick and fragrant.
• Stir the tomato mixture into the beans. Add the winter squash and bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring often, for 30 to 45 minutes. It is important to stir often so that the chili doesn't settle and stick to the bottom of the pot. It should be thick; if you desire you can thin out with water. Taste and adjust salt.
• Shortly before serving stir in the cilantro and simmer for 5 minutes. Spoon into bowls. If you wish, top with grated cheddar, Monterey jack, or crumbled queso fresco.

WINTER CHILI CORNBREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• For the chili: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Toss together the garlic, poblano, cauliflower, mushrooms, salt, chili powder, olive oil, cinnamon, coriander, cumin and red pepper flakes on a rimmed sheet tray in a single layer. Roast the vegetables until browned and tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Carefully transfer the vegetables to a large pot and stir in the beans, tomatoes, BBQ sauce and hot sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the desired thickness, about 20 minutes total. Add a bit of broth or water for a looser chili.
• For the pizza: Reduce the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a rimmed half-sheet tray with the canola oil.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk in the eggs, buttermilk and melted butter until combined.
• Pour the batter onto the prepared sheet tray. Transfer to the oven and bake until the top is light brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the pizza from the oven and top with the chili and Cheddar, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the crust. Bake until the cornbread is done and the cheese is melted, about 10 more minutes.
• Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Top with jalapenos, sour cream and cilantro as desired.
