GROUND BEEF CHILI WITH CHOCOLATE AND PEANUT BUTTER



Ground Beef Chili With Chocolate and Peanut Butter image

Making use of a well-stocked pantry, this weeknight chili takes inspiration from the flavor profile of mole negro, an Oaxacan sauce made with chiles and chocolate that traditionally takes a full day to make, but results in a pot full of depth and nuance in less than an hour. It relies upon ground beef or turkey, and uses canned chiles in adobo, paprika and ancho chili powder for heat, plus a mix of warm spices, chocolate in two forms, and a little bit of peanut butter to round it out. In essence, this recipe is another variation of the combination of sweet and heat.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced (about 8 ounces)
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
3 canned chiles in adobo, finely chopped
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, preferably Mexican
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 pounds ground beef or ground dark turkey
1 (15-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
1 cup stout beer
1 cup unsalted or low-sodium beef stock or chicken stock
2 (15-ounce) cans pinto beans, rinsed
4 ounces good dark chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
Any combination of tortilla chips, shredded cheese and diced avocado, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Reduce heat to low (if not already there), then stir in the beans, chocolate and peanut butter until beans are warmed through and chocolate has melted, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and serve with tortilla chips, cheese, avocado or whatever toppings you desire.

PEANUT BUTTER CHILI PIE



Peanut Butter Chili Pie image

This unique concoction was inspired by my family's tradition of eating peanut butter sandwiches with a bowl of chili. The combination of bold chili, creamy peanut butter with a flaky buttery crust is very complimentary and will be sure to become an instant family favorite.

Provided by Kate Cervantes

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Savory Pie Recipes

Time 2h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
¼ cup ice water, or more if needed
1 cup peanut butter, melted
2 (15 ounce) cans chili
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (This can also be done in a food processor: pulse the cold butter until it's the size of small peas. Turn mixture into a bowl and proceed.) Add the ice water a tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until the flour mixture is moistened. Do not add more water than you need: when you squeeze a handful of the moistened pastry mixture, it should form a ball. Divide the dough in half and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to three days. Roll one ball out to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate and chill for at least 20 minutes before baking. Roll out top crust and set aside.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Spread melted peanut butter onto the pie crust. Pour the chili on top, then arrange the top crust over the chili. Press the edges of the bottom and top crusts together to seal, then brush with egg. Make several cuts into the top crust to vent.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 50 minutes. Cover the edge of the pie with aluminum foil if it begins to brown too quickly.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter is the most commonly used type in peanut butter chili, but you can also use chunky peanut butter for a more textured chili.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different chili recipes: There are many different ways to make peanut butter chili, so feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors.
  • Start with a good base: A good base for peanut butter chili includes ground beef, onion, garlic, and chili powder. You can also add other ingredients like beans, corn, and tomatoes.
  • Add peanut butter at the end of cooking: Peanut butter can scorch if it is cooked at high temperatures for too long. Add it to the chili pot towards the end of cooking to prevent it from burning.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Peanut butter chili is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheese, chopped peanuts, sour cream, and avocado.
