HOT AND SPICY CHILI



Hot and Spicy Chili image

The biggest thing to know about this recipe is it is designed to be as hot or not as you want it. You can pick the hot sauce, and the type of peppers you use depending on how hot you want it. The Mongolian Fire Oil is deceiving in name. The oil adds mild warmth to the full mouth, not a flaming burst so do not worry about adding the full amount. A small taste on the tip of the tongue will show how not "HOT" it is.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 1/2-3 lbs ground beef
1 (8 count) package hot Italian sausages
stew beef chunk, you may have to cut these down from larger pieces
1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
16 ounces diced tomatoes with jalapenos
16 ounces white beans (Chefs Choice)
16 ounces black beans
16 ounces kidney beans
6 jalapenos, sliced (note all peppers can be swapped with other peppers of preference depending on how spicy you want the)
6 chili peppers, sliced
1 habanero pepper, sliced
1 (12 ounce) bottle beer, i use Corona beer
1 garlic clove
1 white onions or 1 yellow onion
mongolian fire oil
chili powder
red pepper
favorite hot sauce

Steps:

  • Prep all veggies in separate containers. Slice all peppers, do not separate seeds, chop onion and slice or chop garlic.
  • Pour tomato sauce and diced tomatos into large pot and use medium to high heat. Stir often to prevent burning sticking to bottom.
  • Add peppers, onion, garlic and peppers to sauce as you stir.
  • Brown the ground beef in a separate pan over high heat until color is more brown than pink and add to pot WITH oil from browning.
  • Repeat as needed until all beef is used. I recommend doing this is small amounts using a spatula to "stir" beef. "A metal spatula is recommended as you will have to break apart pieces that stick together,.
  • Make sure the stew beef is cut into small cubes, 2 to 3 fingers in width, and brown in pan as done previously with ground beef and add to pot with oil.
  • Remove the skin from the spicy sausage and brown the filing like above and add to pot with oil.
  • add beer to pot.
  • Open and add cans of beans one at a time stirring as they are added. - Drain the beans for a thicker final chili or add all for a thinner one.
  • Lower heat to medium low and let chili simmer for an hour or two stirring to prevent sticking at bottom of pot.
  • Add Three tablespoons of Mongolian fire oil.
  • Add 1/8 to 1/4 cup chili powder Add Red pepper, chili powder and favorite hot sauce until desired spice level is attained.
  • Let simmer for 2 or more hours, stirring each 15 min max, to fully cook meat and allow for spice infusion.

BASIC SPICY CHILI



Basic Spicy Chili image

This is a basic chili recipe, but my favorite. Since I am a vegetarian, I omit the beef and add more beans for a great meatless chili. I also add more hot sauce for extra kick. This chili is great served with sour cream and/or cheese.

Categories     Beans

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 lbs ground beef
3 medium onions, chopped

1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes
3 cups kidney beans, drained and rinsed
4 tablespoons chili powder (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon Dave's Insanity hot sauce (or your favorite intense hot sauce--optional)
1/8 teaspoon baking soda (a pinch)
1 cup water (if needed)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, saute beef and onions together until beef is browned.

  • Add tomato juice and simmer over medium heat.

Tips for Making the Best Chili Recipes

  • Choose the right chili peppers. The type of chili pepper you use will determine the heat level of your chili. For a mild chili, use ancho or guajillo peppers. For a medium chili, use chipotle or pasilla peppers. And for a hot chili, use cayenne or habanero peppers.
  • Soak your dried chili peppers. Soaking your dried chili peppers in hot water for about 30 minutes will help to soften them and release their flavor.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your chili will taste. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices whenever possible.
  • Brown your meat. Browning your meat before adding it to the chili will help to develop its flavor and give the chili a richer color.
  • Simmer your chili for a long time. The longer you simmer your chili, the more time the flavors will have to develop. Simmer your chili for at least 1 hour, or even longer if you have time.
  • Season your chili to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You may also want to add a bit of acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to brighten up the flavor.
