NANA'S CHILI



Nana's Chili image

This is my mom's chili recipe. Thick, meaty, and good heat without being overpowering. She used Miller Genuine Draft for the beer; I prefer using an Oatmeal Stout for a richer flavor instead.

NANA'S CHILI

My dad gave me a Penzey's spice catalog years ago and this recipe was in it for a good basic chili. It is a great base to make as your own. There is so much you can do with this recipe. It does require some patience as it does take 3 hours to simmer. So worth the wait! I call it Nana's Chili because my 3 year old grandson...

Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes more. Add black pepper, ground cumin, ground chipotle pepper, crushed red peppers and chili powder, while continually stirring until spices begin to stick to bottom of pot and brown (30-45 seconds). Quickly add 3 cups of hot water. Add tomato puree, diced tomatoes and the juice they were packed in. Add kidney beans and salt. Add the ground beef. Stir when chili begins to boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Ideally the chili should be simmered 3 hours to let all the flavors blend together. Stir about every 15 minutes. If you don't have 3 hours, use less chipotle and crushed red peppers.

Easy homemade chili. Goes great with cornbread or over corn chips for a chili pie! I like to use spicy pinto beans.

THE BEST CHILI



The Best Chili image

There are a thousand ways to make chili, but this is the quintessential, totally classic version. We used ground beef, kidney beans and the perfect blend of spices. You can slather it on hot dogs and burgers or serve it as a dip, but it can surely stand on its own. Chances are, you have everything you need right in your pantry. Top it with your favorite garnishes and serve with plenty of tortilla chips.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef chuck, preferably coarse grind (see Cook's Note)
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed
Two 15.5-ounce cans kidney beans, undrained
Sour cream, shredded Cheddar and sliced scallions, for serving
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until just browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the cooked ground beef and any accumulated liquid, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the chili, partially covered, until the beef is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir in the beans and their liquid and simmer uncovered until the beans are softened and the chili is thickened, about 30 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Top with sour cream, Cheddar and scallions. Serve with tortilla chips.
