PRIZE WINNING CHILI

Prize Winning Chili image

A great crowd pleasing meal for anytime of the year but especially nice when it's cold and blowing outside. I like mine served over cooked speghetti pasta and topped with cheese or just in a bowl with some cheese and crackers. Like many others, I do like beans in my chili. I won $50 with this recipe in a contest in Colorado. Never ever add tomatoes to uncooked dry beans. They will not soften due to the acid in the tomatoes. They must be added AFTER the beans are done cooking.

Time 4h

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

Ingredients

1 lb dry red kidney beans
1/2 lb dry pinto beans
8 cups water, plus additional water when beans are getting low (watch closely so they do not boil dry)
1 large onion, diced
1 head garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 large bay leaves
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon crushed basil
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 lb lean ground beef
1 lb ground pork
2 (7 ounce) cans chopped green chilies
2 (28 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes, undrained and chopped (DO NOT add until the beans are done. The acid will prevent the beans from becoming soft)
2 teaspoons celery seeds
3 tablespoons chili powder (more to taste)
3 tablespoons cumin (more to taste)
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 bottle beer
1 tablespoon sugar (to cut tomato acid)

Steps:

Wash dry beans well.
Fill a large pot with the 8 cups of water.
Add the dry beans, garlic, onion, salt and pepper, bay leaves, oregano, basil and rosemary leaves.
Simmer until beans are done, (about 2 hours) adding more water as needed (dry beans will use a lot of water) In the mean time, brown beef and pork, drain well and set aside; add to beans when they are done.
Add green chilies, tomatoes with juice, celery seed, chili powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, beer, and sugar.
Simmer 30 minutes to blend the flavors.

Tips:

Choose the right type of cheese: A good melting cheese is essential for a successful chile cheese appetizer. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack, and Monterey Jack. You can also use a combination of cheeses to create a unique flavor.
Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your appetizer will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, crisp bell peppers, and flavorful spices. You can also add other ingredients to your appetizer, such as cooked ground beef or sausage, black beans, or corn.
Don't overcook the cheese: The cheese should be melted and gooey, but not overcooked. Overcooked cheese will become tough and rubbery.
Serve immediately: Chile cheese appetizers are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the cheese is still melted and the other ingredients are still fresh.

Conclusion:

Chile cheese appetizers are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious appetizer that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give one of these chile cheese appetizer recipes a try.
