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.

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.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 dried New Mexico chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 dried pasilla chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 dried guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more if needed
2 1/2 pounds cubed beef stew meat (1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 corn tortilla, torn
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:

Toast the chiles in a small dry saucepan over medium heat until pliable, 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add 1 cup water, cover and let soften, 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree.
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Toss the meat with 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper. Brown the meat in batches, about 5 minutes; remove. Add more oil if the pot is dry. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cumin.
Add 3 cups water, the beef broth, chile puree, meat, tortilla and brown sugar; stir. Reduce the heat, partially cover and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meat is very tender, 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes. If the chili is not thick enough, uncover, increase the heat and continue to simmer. Stir in the vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
