Speedy Gonzales Chili Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, cook the beef, onions and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Add remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Put flour in a small dish and set aside. Place ground beef in a large bowl and add chopped onion, garlic and egg. Knead ingredients into meat with your hands, taking care to mix them well throughout the ground beef. Set aside.
• In a large pot, add tomato sauce, water, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of chili powder. Heat and bring to a low simmer.
• With your hands, form medium-size meatballs with the ground beef. Drop into dish of flour and turn meatballs to coat lightly with the flour. Gently drop meatballs, one at a time, into the simmering sauce. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of chili powder.
• Continue to simmer sauce and meatballs uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes. Sauce should be bubbling gently while meatballs cook. If preferred, more chili powder may be added to taste.
• Meanwhile, cook Spaghetti according to instructions on package. Drain and return to large pot. When spaghetti is cooked, use a pasta spoon to immediately place 1 to 2 cups of hot spaghetti noodles into deep bowls. Drop 3 to 4 meatballs into bowls on top of spaghetti pasta.
• Place at least 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar on top of meatballs and pasta in each bowl. Ladle about 3/4 to 1 cup of sauce over the cheese, meatballs and pasta. Cheese will melt from the sauce's heat. If desired, add another big pinch of cheddar to the top of each dish and serve immediately with hot, crusty garlic bread.
• To store leftovers, combine pasta, sauce and meatballs together in one container. Store shredded cheese separately. Re-heat the spaghetti, meatballs and sauce in a pot, and sprinkle lots of shredded cheese over each hot serving.

Steps:

• Crumble ground beef into a skillet over medium heat. Stir garlic, oregano, chili powder, and basil into the beef; cook and stir until beef is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Combine light red kidney beans, dark red kidney beans, diced tomatoes, and corn in crock of a slow cooker. Stir cooked ground beef into the bean mixture.
• Cook on Medium-Low for 2 hours. Stir sugar into the chili and continue cooking as long as you can wait, at least 6 hours. Season with salt and black pepper to serve.

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. When the oil is hot and the butter has melted, add the garlic, poblanos, onions and jalapenos, then stir to combine. Add the sausage meat and season with the salt and pepper. Cook the sausage, crumbling it as you go, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the enchilada sauce, salsa verde and green chiles with their liquid. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, to thicken and develop the flavors. Stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
• Serve alongside the rice and garnish with the sour cream, radish, cilantro and hot sauce.

Steps:

• Heat contents of 3 cans in a 2 quart pot over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in garlic and spices.
• Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for at least half an hour. Stir often enough to prevent a layer of skin forming on top. You may also wish to mash the beans during this time.
• When the desired consistency is achieved serve the chili in bowls. Keep in mind that it will thicken as it cools.
• Leftovers should cool to room temperature then be refrigerated.

Steps:

• Tip the pesto into a large pan with the mince and cumin, and fry for a few mins. Crumble in the stock cube, add the peppers and kidney beans, then fill the empty can with water and add this to the pan, too. Cover and simmer for 10 mins, then remove the lid and continue to cook for 5-10 mins or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and stir in the coriander.
• Heat the tortillas following pack instructions and serve with the chilli, avocados, onion and a dollop of mayo.

Steps:

• Combine both soups and sour cream.
• Blend well.
• Divide in half and set half aside. Add chopped chicken to one of the halves of soup mixture.
• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Lightly heat tortillas in moisten tea towel in microwave for ease of rolling.
• On each tortilla, spread about 2-3 tablespoons of chicken mixture on one side; sprinkle with about tablespoons of cheese; roll up; and place in prepared casserole.
• Repeat with all tortillas, placing close together. Spread "set aside" soup-sour cream mixture over all and top with remaining cheese.
• Cover with foil and bake for about 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for about 15 minutes until top is lightly golden.
• Sprinkle with sliced olives or chopped tomato and avocado, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat half of the oil in a good-sized saucepan, cook chicken until lightly browned and cooked right through.
• Remove chicken from pan and shred into small strips.
• Heat remaining oil in same pan, cook onion 3-4 minutes or until soft.
• Add flour to pan and stir for 1 minute.
• Add stock and juice 1 cup at a time, waiting until mixture thickens slightly after each addition.
• Add chicken, corn and chilli. Stir until heated through.
• Serve topped with cilantro.
