GAME DAY CHILI

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 pounds ground meat (any combination of ground beef chuck, pork shoulder or veal shoulder)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 large onions, chopped
2 bunches scallions, chopped (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
6 tablespoons chile powder
One 12-ounce bottle dark beer, such as Dos Equis
Two 28-ounce cans whole fire-roasted tomatoes, crushed by hand
2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons red hot sauce, such as Tabasco
2 tablespoons green hot sauce, such as Tabasco
Suggested toppings: 1 cup lightly whipped and chilled creme fraiche, sliced jalapenos, fresh cilantro leaves, diced tomatoes, sliced cherry peppers, shredded Monterey Jack and shredded Cheddar

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the ground meat. Cook and stir occasionally until browned all over and you can hear a slight crackling in the pan, letting you know the moisture has cooked away, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic, onions and half of the scallions and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Make a space in the pan and drop in the tomato paste. Let toast for 1 minute and then stir into the meat. Sprinkle on the chile powder. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the beer and cook until almost reduced away, about 4 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes and stock and season with the red and green hot sauce. Adjust the heat so the chili is gently simmering and cook, uncovered, until the chili is thick, dark red and flavorful, about 1 1/2 hours. Serve in bowls with the remaining scallions and suggested toppings.

GAME-DAY CHILI



Game-Day Chili image

This has been our family favorite since I first stumbled across it in 2005. It's originally from Southern Living, October 2000. I will sometimes brown the beef, onion and garlic in a pan, then dump all the ingredients in a slow cooker. Let simmer on low for 7-8 hours.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 3h15m

Yield 13 cups

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lbs ground chuck
1 medium onion, chopped
3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans or 2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
3 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (12 ounce) bottle dark beer
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can beef broth
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can chopped green chilies
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 -2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon hot sauce
pickled jalapeno pepper, slices

Steps:

  • Cook first 3 ingredients in a Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain well.
  • Combine meat mixture, beans, and next 11 ingredients in Dutch oven (I usually start off with half the beef broth and beer, and add more as needed); bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 3 hours or until thickened. Garnish, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: Beef chuck roast or stew meat are great options for chili, as they become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly. Ground beef or turkey can also be used, but they may not be as flavorful.
  • Brown the meat: Browning the meat before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop flavor and prevent the chili from becoming greasy.
  • Use a variety of beans: Different beans offer different flavors and textures to chili. Common choices include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and white beans.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables such as onions, bell peppers, and corn add sweetness and crunch to chili. They can be added to the slow cooker at the beginning or towards the end of the cooking time, depending on how soft you want them to be.
  • Season to taste: Chili is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Common seasonings include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add a touch of heat with cayenne pepper or chipotle chili powder.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili is often served with toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, and cilantro. Other popular toppings include avocado, jalapenos, and crushed tortilla chips.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker game day chili is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a crowd. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and satisfying chili ready to enjoy on game day or any day of the week.
