BEEF CHILI WITH BACON & BLACK BEANS



Beef Chili With Bacon & Black Beans image

I found this recipe in the March, 2003 issue of Cook's Illustrated Magazine. We just love this chili and hope that you will, too! It is best served with the optional condiments, the more variety, the better! The flavor is better if you make it a day or two before and then reheated, which means it makes great leftovers, too ;) Freezes well up to one month.

Another winner from our "The Chili Cookbook" by Norman Kolpas. This was easy to make, came together quickly, and made for a tasty lunch. We omitted the sour cream as neither of us really care for it.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
3 tablespoons chili powder, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
3 cups low-sodium beef broth
2 15-ounce cans kidney beans, undrained

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Add half the beef to the pot in a single layer and cook, turning, until browned, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Add 1 more tablespoon vegetable oil to the pot and brown the remaining beef; remove to the bowl.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the chili powder, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the tomato paste; cook, stirring, until deep red, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the beef and any juices from the bowl, the tomatoes, beef broth and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so the liquid simmers. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot occasionally, until the meat is fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Add the beans with their liquid and simmer until the chili is thickened, 20 to 30 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and more chili powder. Top as desired.

BACON CHILI WITHOUT BEANS



Bacon Chili without Beans image

I am not a fan of kidney beans, but I love chili and bacon. I tried switching out the beans with the bacon using my mom's chili recipe, and it was an instant hit with the family. After a couple years of tweaking the recipe to get it just right and taking it to chili cook-offs, here's what I came up with. Serve with your favorite chili mix-ins such as Cheddar cheese, Fritos®, etc. Hope you enjoy!
