Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
⅓ cup chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers, drained
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
1 tablespoon white vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™)
2 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

Place the ground beef, onion and garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring to crumble the beef, until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is tender. Drain off the fat and return the pan to the stove. Combine the chili powder, cumin and basil; sprinkle over the beef. Cook and stir to coat the meat and toast the spices a little.
Pour in the tomatoes, green chilies, tomato sauce, beer and vinegar. Bring to a boil and stir to loosen any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan. Mix in the brown sugar, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 3 hours. Remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking.

CHEF JOHN'S ITALIAN SAUSAGE CHILI

Chef John's Italian Sausage Chili image

I've added pork to ground beef in chili before, but I've never tried it with all Italian sausage, and I loved the results. We Italian'd this up even more with cannellini beans and a touch of basil, but other than that, it's a fairly classic chili. Garnish with sour cream, avocado, red onion, and basil.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ¼ pounds hot Italian sausage, casings removed
1 ¼ pounds mild Italian sausage, casings removed
1 onion, chopped
salt to taste
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 ½ cups water, or as needed
1 cup tomato puree
2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced

Steps:

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir hot Italian sausage, mild Italian sausage, onion, and a pinch of salt together in the pot, breaking up sausage with a wooden spoon. Cook until sausage is browned and crumbly, and most of the liquid is evaporated, about 10 minutes.
Stir ancho chile powder, paprika, cumin, ground black pepper, chipotle chile powder, and oregano into sausage mixture; saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Pour water and tomato puree into sausage mixture, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook on a steady simmer until sausage is tender, about 45 minutes. Add water as necessary and skim any fat that floats to the top.
Stir cannellini beans, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper into sausage mixture. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
