Sweet Bbq Chili Recipes

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:

• Wash beans and mix them together in a pan of water (You can change the ratio the goal is to make it pretty).
• Bring the beans to a boil and turn off the heat. Let them set for 1 hour.
• Rinse them in cold water until the water runs clear and they stop making bubbles. (This takes the gas out of them)
• Cover the beans with water, bring them to a boil and simmer until tender.
• (Never salt beans until they are completely done cooking!).
• While the beans simmer chop the onion and saute it with the italian seasoning, the chili powder, green chili peppers, garlic, and cayenne in a skillet. I suggest cutting the onion in large pieces instead of mincing it but that is optional.
• Add the Hamburger. (You can also use any ground meat including sausage. which by the way is wonderful and adds its own spice. Elk meat or Venison is also delicious)
• Saute the hamburger, onions and spices together until the burger is done. Again I don't cut the burger in small pieces but leave it in large chunks.
• When the beans are tender add the burger mixture and tomatoes and salt to taste.
• Add the brown sugar slowly taste testing alot until it is sweet enough. Then pour in the bottle of BBQ sauce. Mix it together and taste it again.
• It should be sweet until you swallow then hit you with the pepper heat.
• Make adjustments to your own taste.
• Once you get the flavor just how you want it let it simmer until you are ready to serve. The longer it simmers the better it will be.
• Serve topped with cheddar cheese and paired with Deep Skillet Cornbread.
• Makes a good Planover meal. Can be frozen.

Steps:

• Sauté onion in a little bit of oil. Add ground beef and minced garlic. Dust with dill, chili powder, cumin and red pepper flakes. Mix and cook covered over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is cooked through. Drain fat.
• Add tomatoes, tomato paste and beans.
• Add picante sauce, barbecue sauce, diced green chilies.
• Add any additional chili powder and/or red pepper flakes.
• Bring to a low boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes or more. I have let this simmer for up to 2 hours and the longer it sits, the yummier it gets. It's great the next day, and the day after, too!
• Serve with sour cream and shredded cheese on top. Eat with the Frito Scoops if you are feeling adventurous enough to dig in without a spoon.
• Optional - Make a box of mac 'n cheese and ring your chili bowl with it before spooning in the chili. Delectable!
