Categories     Slow Cooker

Time 6h40m

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons oil ((avocado, olive, or vegetable))
3 pounds beef chuck, cut into bite-sized cubes
2 1/2 cups diced yellow onions (about 3-4 small to medium yellow onions)
2 cups diced celery (about 6-7 stalks of celery)
2 jalapeños, diced ( (remove seeds for less spicy chili))
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 full recipe of chili seasoning ( (see recipe below))
2 teaspoons dark or light brown sugar
1 teaspoon oregano
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 bottle (12 oz.) dark beer, (such as Negra Modelo)
1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons masa harina, more if desired/needed ( (see notes))
Optional toppings: jalapeño, cilantro, sour cream or Greek yogurt, cheese

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add meat in a single layer (you'll need to cook it in batches). Brown for 1-2 minutes on each side and then move to slow cooker. Continue this process, adding more oil to pan if needed, until all meat is browned and in slow cooker.
  • In the same pan, add onions, celery, jalapeño, salt, and pepper. Saute until celery is softened and onion is translucent. Add garlic and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Add chili seasoning, brown sugar, and oregano and continue to cook, stirring, until fragrant (1-2 minutes). Add tomato paste and stir to coat vegetables with tomato paste. Keep stirring to prevent burning. Add beer and cook for 4-5 minutes or until slightly reduced. Add this mixture to the slow cooker.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and bay leaf. Stir to combine all ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until meat is tender.
  • Remove bay leaf and stir in parsley and cilantro. Sprinkle masa on top and stir in. If needed, add more (1 tablespoon at a time) to thicken chili further. Keep in mind it will thicken slightly if it continues to cook, and also as it cools.
  • Serve with your desired toppings.

TEXICAN CHILI

This flavorful, meaty chili is my favorite, and it's so easy to prepare in the slow cooker. It's a terrific way to serve a crowd without last-minute preparation. I got the idea from my mother, who used her slow cooker often for soups and stews. -Stacy Law, Cornish, Utah
