The Best Chili image

This chili came about when we had an over-abundance of produce from our garden. Fresh tomatoes, carrots, peppers, and onions make for a delicious chili! Serve warm, topped with cheese, if desired.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound ground venison
2 bell peppers, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (12 fluid ounce) can cream-style ale
3 large beefsteak tomatoes, chopped
2 cups no-salt-added chicken broth
2 cups water
1 tablespoon molasses
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground venison and cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bell peppers, carrots, and onion; cook until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Mix in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds more. Stir in chili powder, salt, paprika, cumin, oregano, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Mix in tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add ale; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook until juices start to release, about 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, water, and molasses; stir to combine. Add beans and bay leaves.
  • Bring chili to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until flavors blend, 30 to 45 minutes more. Taste, adjust seasonings, and discard bay leaves.

This chili is the perfect comfort food. It's warm, hearty, and filling. I love serving it with a side of cornbread or rice.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chili turned out really soupy. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't come together.

The chili was okay, but I've definitely had better. It was a bit too watery for my taste.

I wasn't a big fan of the chili. I found it to be a bit bland and lacking in flavor.

The chili was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some sour cream. Overall, it was a good recipe.

The chili was delicious! I especially loved the smoky flavor from the chipotle peppers. It added a nice depth of flavor to the dish.

I'm a big fan of spicy food, and this chili definitely delivered. The heat level was just right - not too mild, not too overpowering. It had a nice kick without burning my taste buds.
