NO BEANS ABOUT IT - CHILI



No Beans About It - Chili image

My husband won't eat beans but LOVES chili, so I had to come up with this variation on an old favorite. Instead, it contains lots of canned tomatoes and onion. This is great served over rice with some shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Ground turkey may be substituted for ground beef.

Easy Chili con Carne (No Beans) image

Some people like beans in their chili, some do not. This chili has no beans, but if you like beans, you can easily serve them on the side.

Provided by PalatablePastime

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lbs coarse grind ground beef
6 cloves garlic, minced
7 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 cups beef broth
3 tablespoons masa harina
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon paprika

Steps:

  • Brown beef in a large deep pan.
  • Drain fat.
  • Add the garlic, 6 tbsp of the chili powder, and cumin, stirring to coat beef.
  • Add the tomato sauce and the beef broth and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour (add some water if your heat is too high and chili gets too thick).
  • Add masa gradually, stirring after each addition, until chili reaches desired thickness.
  • Simmer 15-20 minutes more, then season to taste with salt and add cayenne, paprika, and last tbsp of chili powder.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chili base: You can use ground beef, turkey, pork, or even a combination of meats. If you're using ground beef, choose a leaner variety to reduce the amount of fat in the chili.
  • Use a variety of spices: Chili is all about the spices, so don't be afraid to experiment. Some common spices used in chili include chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat: If you like your chili spicy, add some chopped jalapeños or cayenne pepper. You can also use a hotter variety of chili powder, such as ancho chili powder or chipotle chili powder.
  • Simmer the chili for a long time: The longer you simmer the chili, the more flavor it will develop. Aim to simmer the chili for at least 1 hour, or even longer if you have time.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Some common chili toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Chili is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you like your chili mild or spicy, with or without beans, there's a recipe out there that's perfect for you. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give chili a try.
