MOM'S PERFECT CHILI



Mom's Perfect Chili image

Smoky tomato flavors lead the way in this comforting classic. This is the perfect chili recipe in my opinion--it's not so fancy that it's intimidating at all, but it's definitely a step above chili packet recipes and chili beans. Serve topped with desired garnishes, such as jalapeno, green or white white onion, cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and hot sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
2 pounds ground beef sirloin
1 large onion, diced
2 medium poblano peppers, diced
1 medium orange bell pepper, diced
1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup chili powder
4 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
½ (28 ounce) can tomato puree
2 cups beef stock
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced
1 tablespoon adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
3 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed

Steps:

  • Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, crumbling with a spoon until evenly browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Add remaining oil to the pot and return to medium-high heat. Add onion and saute, stirring often, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add poblano, bell, and jalapeno peppers and garlic; cook, stirring frequently until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne, and oregano; cook for 1 minute. Add beer and stir, scraping any small brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add crushed and fire-roasted tomatoes, tomato puree, beef stock, chipotle pepper, and adobo sauce; stir until well combined. Bring to a simmer, stirring often.
  • Stir in beef and kidney beans; return to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for at least 3 hours.

MOM'S SWEET CHILI SAUCE



Mom's Sweet Chili Sauce image

Thick, spicy and sweet, this chili sauce is more like a chutney than the usual chili sauce. Delicious with any meat and great slathered on just about any sandwich instead of mayo or ketchup. This recipe has been a family favourite for more than 50 years.

MOM'S CHILI SAUCE



Mom's Chili Sauce image

This was my mother's recipe and I'm posting it here while I can still read the page it's on. I've tweaked it slightly - she didn't have access to jalapeno peppers. If you run out during the winter or of you're like me and dislike the mess of peeling hot tomatoes, you can use 4 28 oz. cans diced tomatoes

MOM'S EASY CHILI



Mom's Easy Chili image

I used Mom's chili recipe and added a few things of my own over the years. I put it together in the crock pot the night before, throw it in the fridge (just the crock), then before leaving for work the next morning I put the crock in the base, plug it in and it's yummy when I get home.

2 (10 ounce) cans chili beans

Steps:
