Its cold this weekend and I finally made chili. I typically cook it in the crockpot and its an all day event which makes the house smell really good. I have been working on my recipe for a few years now and I feel like I have it down where both 101 and I like it.
My Chili recipe
1 pound of ground beef
1 can of black beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can rotel tomatoes with chilies
1 can chicken or beef stock
1 can of tomato paste or 1 jar of tomato sauce
Garlic for sautéing beef & 1 ½ tsp into chili
3 Bay leaf
1 ¼ tsp Oregano
1 ½ tsp Crushed Red pepper flakes & 1 tsp chili oil w/flakes
¼ tsp Cumin
¼ tsp Paprika
Dash of onion powder
Dash of thyme
Salt & pepper to taste
Brown beef in butter with salt, pepper and garlic (I typically use garlic paste but fresh is always preferred). Once meat is cooked, transfer to a crock pot. Add beans, rotel tomatoes with chilies, chicken stock, tomato sauce, spices and stir. A note on beans: dump each can on a colander/food strainer and rinse with water first before transferring to the crockpot. Cook on high for 4 hours, then cook on low for another 4 hours.
If cooking in a pressure cooker:
Brown beef in butter with salt, pepper and garlic paste in the pressure cooker (on sauté setting). Once done, add all other ingredients, stir and cook on a chili setting.
