Lisas Dutch Oven Chili Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients together, and then add the creamed corn, buttermilk, and eggs, and mix thoroughly.
• Position a 10-inch or 12-inch Dutch oven over where the fire on your grill will be, and then arrange 15 charcoal briquettes around the bottom. Heat the Dutch oven over the fire.
• Melt the lard in the Dutch oven, and then add the batter. The lard will rise up the edges and spill onto the top of the batter. Cover the Dutch oven and place 10 coals on the lid. Cook for about 30 minutes, or until the bread is brown and firm.
• If using a cast iron skillet in the oven instead, preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place the skillet in the oven, melt the lard, and then add the batter. Do not cover. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Add the salsa, tomatoes, hatch chiles, beans, corn, chili powder and 1 1/4 cups water to a pre-seasoned 5-quart cast-iron Dutch oven and stir to combine. Prepare the corn muffin mix with the egg and milk according to package directions and spoon in dollops on top of the bean mixture. Cover with the lid and be careful not swing the pot too much when transferring it to the fire to keep the batter on top (it will sink a bit though).
• Prepare a campfire or charcoal grill for cooking at medium-high heat (you'll know it's ready when you can hold your hand about 2 inches above the fire or grates for only 2 to 3 seconds). Arrange the coals so there is a hole in the center large enough to hold the Dutch oven without it touching any coals directly. Place the Dutch oven in the hole. With grilling tongs or a shovel, place a few coals on the lid of the Dutch oven. Cook for 20 minutes, rotating the pot occasionally. Remove the coals from the lid and take the Dutch oven off the fire. Let sit, covered, for 15 minutes before serving with desired toppings.

Steps:

• Soak the ancho chiles in boiling hot water to cover for 1 hour.
• While dried chiles soak, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season beef with salt and pepper.
• Heat a cast iron Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef on all sides, working in small batches, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
• Drain chiles; remove stems and seeds. Place chiles, onions, garlic, ground chile pepper, salt, cumin seeds, oregano, and coriander in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to chop, then process into a thick paste. Add 1 cup beer and continue processing to blend.
• Place meat and any accumulated juices back in the Dutch oven, pour in sauce, and stir well. Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil, then place lid on top for a tight seal.
• Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 1 hour; stir. Continue to bake, stirring every 15 minutes, until meat is fork-tender, 30 minutes to 1 hour more, adding more beer if sauce seems too thick.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 5-quart cast iron Dutch oven over medium heat. Add bell pepper, onion, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in beer and allow to cook off.
• Stir in chicken, beans, chicken broth, cilantro, cumin, salt, and cayenne. Simmer for 30 minutes. Ladle chili into bowls.

Steps:

• Pour water in a large dutch oven and wait until the water starts to steam.
• Brown the beef.
• Add the beans, chopped tomatos, tomato paste, and chili powder.
• Boil, covered, for 30min.
