Thick Savory Pork Bean Chili Food

THICK AND SPICY CHILI WITH BEANS

Steps:

• Brown ground beef and pork sausage in large soup pot.
• Add peppers and onion to meat mixture and continue to stir and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
• Stir in remaining ingredients.
• Bring to a simmer and cook over medium low heat for 2-3 hours until flavors are well combined and delicious!

THICK AND SAVORY CHILI

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, about half the sweet onion, and garlic powder in the hot skillet until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Mix tomato chunks, chili beans, tomato sauce, kidney beans, ketchup, and tomato paste in a large pot; bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Stir the ground beef mixture and mushrooms into the tomato mixture; season with chili powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Cook chili at a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors blend, about 45 minutes. Top individual servings with diced sweet onion to serve.

GREEN HELL CHILI VERDE WITH WHITE BEANS AND PORK

Steps:

• Trim excess fat off of pork chops and cut into cubes or chunks.
• Heat oil in the bottom of your stock pot over medium heat, add pork, salt and black pepper to taste. Cook until pork is browned and cooked through.
• Add tablespoon (or more) concentrated ham stock or four cups prepared ham stock, stir into the pork.
• Stir the mixture, cover the pot, turn down a touch and leave it alone.
• Peel tomatillos, garlic cloves, and yellow onions. Trim the roots off of the green onions and cut them into four inch pieces. Split and seed the jalapeno peppers. Chop the cilantro. Liquify all ingredients in a blender or food processor, adding water as needed. They must be liquified and smooth. Fill a large mixing bowl with the puree as you go. When all of the ingredients are liquified and in the large mixing bowl, whisk in the white pepper, black pepper and cumin. Set it aside.
• Stir the pork, oil, and ham concentrate. When the pork is browned and tender, add liquified ingredients, stir together, bring to a gentle simmer, cover the pot again, and turn heat down to just above "low." Ignore for a minimum of two hours (I generally go for three). This lets the flavors combine and develop and become very fragrant. Stir it if you want to, but I have not found it necessary. In two or three hours, your kitchen should reek and the stew should be bright green, potent, fragrant, and ready for completion.
• After a few hours, mix your favorite cornbread recipe (savory is better than sweet on this one), pop that in the oven (20 minutes or so?) and open the canned beans into a strainer or colander. Drain and rinse beans in cold water and add to the soup pot. Stir the beans into the stew, bring to a gentle simmer once again, and cover.
• Mix corn flour or wheat flour into very cold water until all of the lumps are gone and you have formed a thick-ish slurry. Add to the soup pot, stir constantly until thick.
• Time to eat. Serve with warm cornbread or tortillas or both. Top servings with shredded pepper jack or mexican blend cheese and sour cream, garnish with chopped cilantro. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

SMOKY PORK, BACON AND WHITE BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a large saucepan or small stockpot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 8 - 10 min., then transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
• Add onion to bacon fat and cook 2 min., stirring occasionally. Increase heat to medium-high and add pork. Cook 6 - 8 min., stirring occasionally, until onions are crisp-tender. Stir in chili powder, paprika, tomatoes and their juices, and water. Bring to boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 35 - 45 min., stirring occasionally, until pork is tender.
• Stir in beans and 2/3 of the bacon. Cook 10 min until heated through, stirring occasionally. Salt to taste. Serve garnished with remaining bacon, sour cream and scallions.
• *Can substitute pork shoulder.

THICK, SAVORY PORK & BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• Add tomato sauce and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes (depending on how you like your carrots cooked).
• Open and drain black beans (no need to rinse). Prepare cornstarch and water in a measuring cup, set aside.
• When carrots are almost to your liking, add black beans & couscous and cook 3 minutes.
• Add cornstarch/water mixture and stir until desired consistency.
• Enjoy!
