BASIC SPICY CHILI



Basic Spicy Chili image

This is a basic chili recipe, but my favorite. Since I am a vegetarian, I omit the beef and add more beans for a great meatless chili. I also add more hot sauce for extra kick. This chili is great served with sour cream and/or cheese.

Provided by HollyJane

Categories     Beans

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 lbs ground beef
3 medium onions, chopped
1 (46 ounce) can tomato juice
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes
3 cups kidney beans, drained and rinsed
4 tablespoons chili powder (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon Dave's Insanity hot sauce (or your favorite intense hot sauce--optional)
1/8 teaspoon baking soda (a pinch)
1 cup water (if needed)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, saute beef and onions together until beef is browned.
  • Drain beef and add to a large soup pot (this step can be skipped if you wish to brown the beef in the soup pot).
  • Add tomato juice and simmer over medium heat.
  • Add tomatoes (with their juice), crushing between fingers to break apart.
  • Add kidney beans, chili powder (the entire 4 tablespoons may be a bit much for some people, so start out small and add to taste), and optional hot sauce.
  • After mixture comes to a simmer, add baking soda (the baking soda will help cut down the acidity of the tomatoes).
  • Simmer for about 20-30 minutes, adding water if necessary to thin out the chili.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chili powder: The chili powder is the backbone of the chili, so it is essential to use a high-quality one. Look for a chili powder that is made from fresh, dried chili peppers and has a deep, rich flavor.
  • Brown the meat well: Browning the meat will help to develop its flavor and give the chili a richer color. Be sure to cook the meat over medium-high heat until it is nicely browned on all sides.
  • Add a variety of beans: Beans are a great way to add protein, fiber, and flavor to chili. Choose a variety of beans, such as kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will add flavor, color, and nutrients to your chili. Some good choices include onions, peppers, and tomatoes.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the chili as you are cooking it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more chili powder, cumin, or salt to taste.
