CARROLL SHELBY'S CHILI

This recipe comes from Jane Butel's Chili Madness cookbook. I tried several of her recipes, but after I tried this one, I didn't make another, because this was SO good!! The cheese is the secret ingredient--it gives it such a smooth, rich flavor.

Time 3h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 lb suet or 1/4 cup cooking oil
1 lb beef round steak, coarse chili grind
1 lb beef chuck, coarse chili grind
8 ounces can tomato sauce
12 ounces beer
2 tablespoons crushed red chili peppers
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 lb monterey jack cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Melt suet or heat the oil in a heavy 3-quart (or larger) pot over medium-high heat.
  • Remove the unrendered suet and crumble meat into the pot. Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally. until meat is evenly browned.
  • Add tomato sauce, beer, crushed red chile, garlic, onion, oregano, paprika, 1 teaspoons of the cumin, and salt. Stir to blend and bring to a boil.
  • Lower heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings, adding cayenne pepper.
  • Simmer uncovered 1 hour longer.
  • Stir in the cheese and the remaining 1/2 teaspoons cumin.
  • Simmer 1/2 hour longer, stirring often to keep cheese from burning.
  • I serve the chili with sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese to garnish, and warm cornbread on the side.
  • The cookbook actually called for 1/4 cup of crushed red chile pepper, but unless you have a taste for fire, use less! I use half that amount, and I really like hot food.

  • Brown the meat thoroughly: Browning the meat helps to develop its flavor and create a rich, savory base for the chili. Be sure to brown the meat in batches so that it doesn't steam.
  • Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables helps to caramelize them and bring out their natural sweetness. This adds depth of flavor to the chili.
  • Use a variety of spices: Chili is a great dish to experiment with different spices. Some popular choices include chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. You can also add other spices, such as oregano, thyme, or garlic powder, to taste.
  • Simmer the chili for a long time: The longer you simmer the chili, the more flavorful it will be. Aim to simmer the chili for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours if you have the time.
  • Taste the chili and adjust the seasonings: Once the chili is finished simmering, taste it and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or spices.
