Nancys Homemade Chili Food

SPICY THREE-MEAT CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat and add the ground pork, ground bison and ground chuck; using the back of a wooden spoon, break up the meat into small pieces and cook until well browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add the garlic, bell peppers, jalapeno, onion, chili powder, cumin, chipotle, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato puree, crushed tomatoes and beer, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Stir in the kidney beans and cook for 10 more minutes. Serve hot.

TWO MEAT CHILI WITH SCALLION CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the chili: In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and bacon and cook until the bacon is light brown and crispy, about 4 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside for the cornbread.
• Add the garlic, onions and green and red peppers to the bacon renderings and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the chile powder, cumin and cayenne pepper to the vegetables and allow the spices to brown to open up the aroma, 1 to 2 minutes. Next, add the tomato paste and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the fire-roasted tomatoes and mix with the vegetables. Mix in the ground beef and pork. Add some salt and pepper and cook for about 3 minutes. Finally, add the beef broth, pinto beans and kidney beans, reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot loosely with a lid and let simmer for 40 minutes.
• For the cornbread: In the meantime, whisk together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and whisk until combined. Add the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, salt and sugar and whisk to combine. Add the buttermilk and sour cream and whisk together. Add the jalapenos, scallions and reserved bacon and use a spatula to stir until just combined.
• Lightly grease a cast-iron skillet and pour in the batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving with the chili.

NANCY'S HOMEMADE CHILI

Steps:

• 1. Brown hamburger and onion, season with salt and pepper. Drain. Put chili beans in Crock Pot, add chopped tomatoes, tomato soup, {using large tomato can fill with water and add.} Add hamburger/onion mixture, jalapeno's, chili powder, and cumin to taste. I don't measure the cumin or chili powder but you can put two teaspoons each to start then taste after it's cooked for a while and add more as needed. Remember the jalapeno's get hotter as they cook. I just cook this all day in the crock pot depending on how soon you want it you can put it one high or low. If you're working and want it when you get home just put on low.

GOOD, EASY TO MAKE HOMEMADE CHILI

Steps:

• Brown meat (drain grease).
• Cut up vegetables.
• Put everything in a pot and boil on stove around 3 hours covered(crock pots also work, but I've found it doesn't turn out as good. It is always better heated up the next day).
• That's it.
