Kickin Good Chili Recipes

Steps:

• If roasting your own chiles: Preheat an outdoor grill to high. Place the Anaheim chiles on the grill and cook, turning to cook evenly, until the skins blister and blacken. Remove from the grill and place in a plastic bag. Seal the bag and let the chiles stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the skin, stems and seeds and chop into 1/4-inch pieces.
• Heat some butter in a large pot and add the cubed pork. Cook about15 minutes, and then add the onions and spices. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally. When the pork has cooked through, add the fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes, green chiles and jalapenos, if using. Stir occasionally.
• After 5 minutes, add 8 cups water. Bring to a low boil. Stir occasionally. Increase the heat and bring the chili to a rolling or high boil.
• In separate pan, melt the butter or margarine and whisk in the flour, stirring until creamy.
• Slowly add the roux to the chili, stirring constantly, and shut off the heat. Continue to stir so that the roux is evenly distributed. (Roux amount can be adjusted depending on desired consistency or thickness.)
• Let stand 5 minutes and serve in a bowl or smothered!

Steps:

• Heat electric skillet on medium high setting. Break apart ground beef and add to skillet. Cook for 3 minutes and stir in chopped onion. Cook until the beef is no longer pink. Stir in the chili seasonings and jalapenos and mix well. Add tomatoes and stir to combine. Simmer for 30 minutes on medium heat. Stir in red kidney beans and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Serve hot with sour cream, grated cheddar cheese, and red onion.

Steps:

• In a large, heavy pan brown meat well.
• Add garlic, celery, and onions and sauté for 10 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, spices, seasonings, chili peppers, sugar, and the beans.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 1 1/2 hours.
• Stir often to prevent sticking.

Steps:

• Add water, garlic powder, parsley, and onion powder to large soup pot and bring to a boil.
• Add chicken breasts and cook (covered)on medium heat until cooked through (about 12 minutes).
• While chicken boils, chop onion and garlic.
• Heat olive oil in a souce pan on low heat. Add onions and garlic to olive oil. Cook on low until onions are translucent.
• Add jar of salsa to onion/garlic mixture, continue cooking on low, and stir occasionally.
• When chicken is cooked through, remove chicken breasts from soup pot. Keep remaining broth on medium heat.
• Add tomato soup, diced tomatoes (with juice), corn (frozen or canned), beans, chili powder, cumin, and the garlic/onion/salsa mixture to soup pot and stir to blend.
• When chicken is cool enough to handle, shred and return to soup pot.
• Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. As with most chilis, the longer you let it simmer, the better the flavors!
• Serve with sour cream and shredded cheese.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy pot over high heat. Add the beef and brown well, about 10 minutes. Add the onions, chili powder, cumin, Southwest Essence, cayenne, cinnamon, crushed red pepper, and bay leaf and cook, stirring often, until the onions soften, about 8 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beer and cook until the foam subsides, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, brown sugar, and chocolate to the pot. Stir well and bring to a boil.
• Reduce to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent the chili from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• Skim off as much fat as possible. Add the beans, return to a simmer, cover, and cook until thickened, about 1 hour longer.
• Serve with the cheese, green onions, and cilantro alongside as garnish.
