CHILI CON CARNE (CHILI BEANS) RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Chili Con Carne (Chili Beans) Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 30

For the Mexican Seasoning:
1 pound bag pinto beans
2 pounds of ground beef (80% lean recommended)
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 tablespoons Mexican seasoning (recipe below)
1 large (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes (low salt, preferred)
1 large (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
2 Tablespoons tomato paste (TIP: Freeze the remaining tomato paste for future use)
1 large can (7 oz.) diced mild green chilis (not jalapeno)
1 cup salsa (heat level of your choice) or make my homemade version
1/4 cup corn meal (optional to thicken chili) mixed with water
salt
2 Tbsp. chili powder
2 Tbsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. ground cumin
2 Tbsp. oregano
For homemade salsa:
(optional, this makes about 32 oz)
1 can (28 Ounce) Whole Tomatoes With Juice
2 cans (10 Ounce) Rotel (diced Tomatoes And Green Chilies)**
1 can canned mild green chili works fine, if you can't find Rotel tomatoes)
1/4 cups Chopped Onion (I used red)
1 clove Garlic
1 whole Jalapeno, Quartered And Sliced Thin (use 1/2 for a milder version)
1/4 teaspoons Sugar
1/4 teaspoons Salt
1/4 teaspoons Ground Cumin
1/2 cups Cilantro (more To Taste!)
1/2 whole Lime Juice

Steps:

  • For the chili seasoning: Combine the seasonings into an empty spice bottle (or small mason jar) and shake well. Can be stored for weeks. Leftover spices are perfect for seasoning taco meat or any kind of Mexican themed recipe. For the salsa: NOTE: You don't need to make the salsa for this recipe. I do, because I can use the leftover salsa with chips, which gives me two recipes for one! You only need to rough chop the vegetables and toss them into a food processor, which includes: Onion, jalapeno, garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Pulse just a few times. Add the tomatoes and mild green chilis (or the Rotel tomatoes, if using). Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like-I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed. Refrigerate salsa for at least an hour. Serve with tortilla chips or cheese nachos. For the chili: The night before, rinse and drain the pinto beans; check to be sure there aren't any rocks or debris. Heat, covered with water and a pinch of baking soda until boiling. Cover with a lid and reduce to a simmer for about 30 minutes, until the beans are tender. Drain and set aside. To make the "Con Carne": Brown the beef and drain any excess fat; set aside. In a large skillet or pot, heat a little vegetable oil until shimmering. Cook the onion until softened, about 3-5 minutes, on medium heat. Add the minced garlic, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add two tablespoons of Mexican seasoning and the tomato paste and cook and stir until well combined-- about 3 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and diced green chilis. Bring the meat sauce to a simmer and taste for seasonings. Add more Mexican Spice, if desired and add salt to your personal taste. Add the beans to the "Con Carne" sauce. TIP: I don't add all of the beans, at once. This is where you have control of the bean-to-meat-sauce ratio. Add the salsa and combine. You can add more salsa if you wish, but I always start with about one cup. This gives a nice acidity and balance of flavor to the Chili Con Carne. Pour the Chili Con Carne into a slow cooker and heat on low for 4 hours. Keep on warm, which makes this perfect for a potluck. NOTE: If the chili seems too thin, use 1/4 cup of corn meal and add enough water to create a thick paste. Add one tablespoon at a time, until thickened to your liking. Serve with warm flour tortillas, or with corned bread, or over cooked rice. OPTIONAL: Cook on low on the stove for an hour or two. Freezes well.

CHILI CON CARNE



Chili Con Carne image

Chili con carne, a Texan creation, is a traditional one-dish dinner. Toppings -- avocado, scallions, tortilla chips, and cheese -- are up to each guest.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 ancho chiles (dried poblano chiles)
1 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 ounces pork (such as shoulder or chops), finely chopped
2 pounds boneless chuck steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large white onion, chopped (2 cups)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 bay leaf
Coarse salt
28 ounces whole peeled tomatoes, briefly pulsed in a blender
2 cans or bottles of beer (12 ounces each)
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
4 ripe Hass avocados, halved lengthwise, pitted, flesh scooped whole from skin, and coated with fresh lemon juice
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
1 bag (20 ounces) salted corn tortilla chips
5 ounces sharp orange cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Toast chiles in a skillet over medium heat, turning often, until fragrant and puffed up, 2 minutes. Cut in half; remove cores. Reserve seeds. Transfer chiles to a bowl; cover with boiling water. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook until browned, 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Working in batches, cook beef until browned, 3 minutes per side, adding more oil as needed and transferring browned meat to the plate.
  • Meanwhile, put chiles and 1/2 cup soaking liquid into a blender; puree. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add onion and garlic, and cook, stirring often, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in cumin, oregano, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons reserved chile seeds (more for heat, if desired). Cook 1 minute. Add chile puree. Raise heat to medium-high; cook, stirring, 2 minutes.
  • Return meat to pot. Add 2 teaspoons salt, the tomatoes, and beer. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-high. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 1/4 hours. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender and sauce is thick, about 30 minutes more. Discard bay leaf. Stir in vinegar. Serve chili with avocado halves, scallions, tortilla chips, and grated cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to ensure the best taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, tender beef, and aromatic spices.
  • Brown the beef thoroughly: Browning the beef adds depth of flavor and helps to render out excess fat. Make sure to brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the meat.
  • Use a variety of beans: Different beans offer different flavors and textures. Experiment with different types of beans, such as kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans, to create a more complex and flavorful chili.
  • Don't skimp on the spices: Spices are essential for creating a flavorful chili. Use a combination of chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder to create a rich and flavorful base. You can also add other spices, such as oregano, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika, to taste.
  • Let the chili simmer: Simmering the chili allows the flavors to develop and deepen. Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.

Conclusion:

Chili con carne with beans is a hearty, flavorful, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this chili is a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal. Whether you serve it with rice, pasta, or cornbread, this chili is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this chili con carne with beans a try!
