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.

DAVE'S CHILI



Dave's Chili image

We love to make chili together, and we usually play around with it all day, adding this and that, and it is never the same, but today's batch was exceptional so I thought I would put it here for future reference. The original recipe is supposedly from Conway Twitty that my husband obtained from an anesthesiologist he was working with at the time. Conway supposedly won a Texas chili cook-off with it. But this is our version of his great recipe that has evolved over the years. It's a little hot/spicy, but you can adjust the amount of seasonings if you want it milder. Feel free to play around with it. Hope you enjoy. Someday I'll post the original of Conway's chili recipe. NOTE: I have updated this recipe with a few changes including not draining the beans and using only 1 can of Rotel. And in the directions to add extra water as needed. I like the added flavor of not draining the beans. :)

### 3 Essential Chili Cooking Techniques 1. **Sauté Vegetables:** - Sautéing adds depth of flavors by caramelizing the sugars and releasing the natural flavors. - Use a sturdy pot to avoid overcrowding the ingredients. - Sauté in batches if necessary to prevent steaming rather than sautéing. 2. **Simmer Sauce:** - Use a combination of chili powders, cumin, oregano, and cayenne to build a flavorful base. - Add a touch of cocoa powder to enhance the richness and depth of the chili. - Let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. 3. **Add Toppings:** - Top the chili with cheddar cheese, onions, jalapeños, and cilantro for a classic combination. - Get creative with your toppings, such as corn, avocado, or crispy tortilla strips. ### 3 Secret Ingredients for Exceptional Chili 1. **Beer:** - Adds depth of flavors and a slight bitterness that balances the heat of the chili. - Use a dark beer like Guinness or a light beer like a pilsner. 2. **Chocolate:** - Enhances the richness and umami flavors of the chili. - Use dark chocolate or cocoa powder for a more pronounced effect. 3. **Coffee:** - Adds a touch of bitterness and smokiness to the chili. - Use a dark roast coffee for a more pronounced effect. ### Essential Chili Toppings 1. **Cheese:** - Cheddar cheese is the classic choice, but feel free to experiment with other cheeses like Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or queso fresco. 2. **Vegetables:** - Finely diced onions, diced tomatoes, and jalapeños are all great additions. - For a fresher taste, add some cilantro or parsley. 3. **Sour cream:** - Adds a creamy and tangy contrast to the spicy chili. ### 2 Bonus Chili Hacks 1. **Use a Slow Cooker:** - Let your chili simmer in a slow cooker on low for 8 hours for a fall-apart texture and infused flavors. 2. **Make a Chili Burger:** - Place a scoop of chili on a grilled burger patty and top with cheese and your favorite toppings. ### 4 Final Chili Cooking and Serving Conclusion 1. **Balancing Flavors:** - Ensure the chili has a good balance of flavors, with heat, sweetness, and acidity all represented. 2. **Don't Overcook:** - Simmer the chili for just long enough to develop the flavors, but not so long that the ingredients lose their shape and texture. 3. **Serve with Care:** - Serve the chili hot, preferably with a side of bread or corn tortillas. - Garnish with a dollop of cheese, a sprinkle of onions, and a few jalapeños for the perfect touch.
