Best Scotts Mountain Thunder Football Chili Recipes

SUNNY'S GAME DAY CHILI

Steps:

• In a large stock pot on medium-high heat add the vegetable oil, onion and jalapeno. Sprinkle with salt and saute until both are slightly tender. Remove the casing from the chorizo and add it to the pot. Using a wooden spoon or a potato masher, break up the links until they resemble ground meat. Saute until the orange-colored oil is released and the chorizo begins to slightly crisp about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, chili powder, thyme, paprika, red pepper flakes, tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir all ingredients well and cook until the tomato skins begin to peel back and everything is a dark reddish-brown color, about 10 minutes.
• Add the turkey and gravy flavoring, then using a spoon or masher, break the ground turkey apart stirring frequently while cooking. Cook until the turkey is heated through, then add chicken stock, hot sauce, cinnamon stick, and salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the cornmeal, lower to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to release the chili from the bottom of the pot. Remove cinnamon stick when it begins to un-curl itself and soak up a bit of moisture becoming dense and hydrated, around 40 minutes into the simmer.
• Meanwhile, in a heavy pot or deep-fryer heat enough oil to fill the pot at least 3-inches deep to 350 degrees F. Stack the tortillas, a few at a time, and cut into 4 strips. When the oil reaches temperature, add 5 to 6 strips at a time and fry in batches until a tap from a spoon sounds hollow and bubbles begin to form on the strips, about 1 minute for each batch. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle each batch immediately with salt. About 30 minutes before serving add the cannellini beans to the chili and stir to heat through.
• Transfer the chili to a large serving bowl and serve with the tortilla chips and garnishes set up like a bar.

• Before meat finishes browning, mix all onions and peppers in with meat.
• When meat is browned, dump all three cans of tomato puree into pot.
• Mince garlic, put in pot.
• Start mixing spices in as the puree heats up (I usually put a teaspoon of everything in right away, taste it, add more as the day goes on).
• Dump the remaining bottle of chili powder in (again, I portion it out as the day goes on, but by the end of the day, it's gone).
• Let cook for a minimum of a couple hours (longer the better, I usually go around four) then dump in both cans of beans (don't drain).
