KITCHEN SINK CHILI

I love to throw a lot of stuff in my chili, and this is the best I have ever made. I think it's sweet, savory, and (mildly) spicy at the same time. If you want more heat, double the chili powder, add hot sauce, more cayenne, or use several jalapeños (or do all three, if you're adventurous!) If you can't get your hands on espresso, use a very dark roast and make extra-strong coffee. Sometimes, if I'm feeling lazy, I'll measure out 2TB of cocoa powder, instead of putting in the chocolate. If you like yours a little more soup-y, add some broth.

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large green pepper, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 lb ground turkey or 1 lb crumble tofu
2 garlic cloves, diced
2 jalapeno peppers, diced
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 -2 bay leaf
1/4 cup marinara sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or vegetarian substitute)
1/4 cup espresso
1 tablespoon double concentrated tomato paste (comes in a tube) (optional)
1 ounce dark chocolate, chopped (at least 71%)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
2 teaspoons oregano

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large dutch oven, on medium.
  • Add the onion and pepper, and saute until the onions are starting to turn translucent.
  • Break up the beef and add it to the dutch oven.
  • When about half of the meat is browned, add the jalapeño and garlic.
  • Continue to cook until all of the meat is browned. I usually use ground turkey or very lean beef, so I don't bother to drain it. But, if you want to, now is the time to drain off the fat and oil.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, brown sugar, bay leaves, and marinara sauce and stir.
  • Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and espresso.
  • If you prefer a thick chili (like me), add the tomato paste.
  • Stir in the chocolate, coriander, cumin, cayenne, and chili powder (that's a lot of c-words!). Cook for at least 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes, add more chili powder (or cayenne, or hot sauce) if it isn't spicy enough for you.
  • Add the oregano in the last 5 minutes of cooking so that it doesn't get bitter.
  • This, like most chili, is better the next day, or when it's been simmering all day. And you have only one pan to clean!

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Coarse salt
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni pasta
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 celery stalks, finely sliced
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup diced red onion
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound lean grass-fed ground beef
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Two 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes (not drained)
One 8-ounce block mozzarella, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the elbow macaroni until just shy of al dente, about 5 minutes.
  • In the meantime, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the celery, carrot, bell pepper and red onion. Season with a pinch of salt and saute until the veggies begin to get tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, another 30 seconds.
  • Add the ground beef and brown it with the veggies, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Season with the cumin, chili powder and a pinch of salt; toss the beef and veggies around in the skillet another minute or two. Add the diced tomatoes and stir into the mix. Transfer the mostly-cooked elbow macaroni to the skillet and stir to combine.
  • Transfer the chili mac to any casserole dish you want! Sprinkle with the mozzarella and bake, uncovered, until the cheese is browned and bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes.
