THE ULTIMATE FIREHOUSE CHILI RECIPE



The Ultimate Firehouse Chili Recipe image

I saw this recipe online some four or five years ago, modded it each time that I made it, and eventually came to the below listed version as my personal favorite. Seems as though it won some contest in California. Could be wrong on that, but that is all I remember. I love it. Maybe one of you all will like it too. Tips. The type of beer is up to you. The coffee, I use a dark roast or espresso. Decaf or regular, I just use what is around. Make sure not to use pickled red peppers. They need to be preserved in salt and water only. Preferably charred before being jarred. More details - please mince the poblanos and serranos, and rough chop the onion. Use an old, angry, bitter onion. I am serious.

FIREHOUSE CHILI



Firehouse Chili image

This is an excellent chili recipe. My husband is a chili lover and requests this about once a week in the Winter. It's a little on the hot/spicy side but you can adjust the amount of seasonings if you want it milder. I like to serve this with cornbread muffins and/or crackers. (Estimated prep time. Although it calls for cooking the chili 2 hours you can cook it on low for several hours).

THE BEST FIREHOUSE CHILI



The Best Firehouse Chili image

A friend gave this recipe to me and she got it off the internet as it was very similar to her husband's chile who happens to be a fire man. Refrigerate over night in pot before eating. Not essential, but I think it tastes better, as all of the ingredients blend and meld together nicely.

Categories     Meat

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 lbs ground beef or 2 lbs ground turkey
2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, juice included
2 (28 ounce) cans dark red kidney beans (or 1 can red beans and 1 can of pinto beans)
1 (12 ounce) bottle pilsner beer (or of your choice)
4 -6 stalks green onions, chopped
4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
1 large red bell pepper, diced
2 jalapenos (stemmed, seeded, and minced) or 2 serrano peppers (stemmed, seeded, and minced)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon adobo seasoning
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 cup water (or stock to thin out adding more if necessary)

Steps:

  • In a skillet, brown the ground meat, remove and drain well. In the same pan fry the onions, garlic, and peppers, until the onions are translucent and peppers begin to wilt.
  • In a large stew pot or Dutch oven, add meat and vegetables and stir over low heat.
  • Add spices and seasonings, stir.
  • Add crushed tomatoes.
  • Add kidney beans that have been drained and rinsed.
  • Add beer, stir.
  • Add water or stock (if needed) until desired consistency is reached.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low.
  • Simmer for approximately 1 ½ - 2 hours, stirring every so often.
  • Serve over rice with a dollop of sour cream and shredded cheese.

Tips:

  • Use lean ground beef: This will help to reduce the fat and calorie content of your chili.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables are packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and they also help to add bulk to your chili, making it more filling.
  • Use a variety of beans: Beans are a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. They also help to thicken your chili and give it a hearty texture.
  • Use low-sodium broth: Sodium can raise blood pressure, so it's important to use low-sodium broth in your chili. You can also add flavor to your chili with spices and herbs.
  • Don't overcook the chili: Overcooking the chili can make the meat tough and the vegetables mushy. Simmer the chili for just long enough to blend the flavors and heat it through.

Conclusion:

Firehouse Station 2 Healthy Chili is a delicious and nutritious meal that's perfect for a cold day. It's packed with lean protein, vegetables, and beans, and it's low in fat and calories. This chili is also easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover vegetables. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give Firehouse Station 2 Healthy Chili a try.
