Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 oz dried ancho chiles (4 large), stemmed and seeded
6 large garlic cloves, 3 of them finely chopped
1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder (not pure chile)
4 lb well-marbled beef brisket or boneless chuck, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2- to 2-inch pieces
3 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (28- to 32-oz) can whole tomatoes in juice
1/4 cup canned chipotle chiles in adobo
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 lb white onions, chopped (4 cups)
1 tablespoon dried oregano (preferably Mexican), crumbled
1 to 4 fresh serrano or other small green chiles, finely chopped, including seeds (1 is fine for most tastes; 4 is the eight-alarm version)
1 (12-oz) bottle beer (not dark)
2 cups water
2 1/2 cups cooked pinto beans (optional; 30 oz), rinsed if canned
Accompaniments: cubed avocado; chopped white onion; shredded Cheddar; chopped fresh cilantro; sour cream

Steps:

  • Soak ancho chiles in hot water to cover until softened, about 30 minutes. Drain well.
  • While chiles soak, mince 1 whole garlic clove and mash to a paste with 1/2 tablespoon salt, 1/2 tablespoon cumin, and 1/2 tablespoon chili powder. Pat beef dry and toss with spice mixture in a large bowl until coated.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide 6- to 7-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown beef in 3 or 4 batches, without crowding, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes per batch (lower heat as needed; spice mixture burns easily). Transfer beef as browned to another bowl. (Do not clean pot.)
  • Purée anchos in a blender along with tomatoes (including juice), chipotles in adobo, cilantro, remaining 2 whole garlic cloves, and remaining 1/2 tablespoon salt until smooth.
  • Add enough oil to fat in pot to total 3 tablespoons, then cook onions and chopped garlic over moderate heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits from beef, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add oregano, remaining tablespoon cumin, and remaining tablespoon chili powder and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add chile purée and 1 chopped serrano and simmer, stirring, 5 minutes. Stir in beer, water, and beef along with any juices accumulated in bowl and gently simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally and checking often to make sure chili is not scorching, 2 hours.
  • Taste sauce, then add more serrano if desired and continue to simmer, partially covered, until beef is very tender and sauce is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 hours more. (If chili becomes very thick before meat is tender, thin with water as needed.)
  • Coarsely shred meat (still in pot) with 2 forks and cool chili completely, uncovered, then chill, covered, 1 to 2 days to allow flavors to develop.
  • Reheat over low heat, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 30 minutes. Add beans (if using) and simmer, stirring, 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before starting, chop and dice your vegetables, herbs, and spices. This prep work will save you time and ensure even cooking.
  • Choose Your Beans Wisely: Select high-quality beans that are plump and free from blemishes. Soaking the beans overnight or for at least 4 hours before cooking will help reduce cooking time and improve digestibility.
  • Brown Your Meat: Browning the beef or pork adds depth of flavor and caramelizes the natural sugars in the meat. Do this in a separate pan over medium-high heat before adding it to the slow cooker.
  • Layer Your Ingredients: Layer the ingredients in the slow cooker, starting with the meat on the bottom, followed by the beans, vegetables, and seasonings. This layering helps distribute the heat evenly and ensures that all ingredients cook thoroughly.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Slow Cooker: Ensure there is enough space in the slow cooker for the ingredients to cook evenly. Overcrowding can prevent proper cooking and result in undercooked or unevenly cooked chili.
  • Use Fresh Spices and Herbs: Fresh spices and herbs provide more vibrant flavors compared to dried ones. If using dried spices, adjust the quantity accordingly, as they tend to be more potent.
  • Add Liquid Wisely: The amount of liquid you add will depend on the desired consistency of your chili. For a thicker chili, use less liquid; for a thinner chili, add more liquid. You can adjust the consistency by adding more broth or water during the cooking process.
  • Cook on Low and Slow: The key to a flavorful and tender chili is slow cooking. Cook the chili on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Taste and Adjust Seasonings: Before serving, taste the chili and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Add more salt, pepper, or spices as needed to achieve your desired flavor profile.
  • Serve with Toppings: Enhance the chili's flavors by serving it with a variety of toppings such as shredded cheese, chopped onions, sour cream, sliced avocado, or crushed tortilla chips.

Conclusion:

The two-alarm crock-pot chili recipes offer a delicious and versatile dish that can be customized to your taste preferences. Whether you prefer a classic chili recipe or want to experiment with different ingredients, these recipes provide a solid foundation for creating a flavorful and satisfying meal. Remember to choose high-quality ingredients, layer them properly, and cook on low and slow for the best results.
