Football season is really heating up now, and on Sundays you can’t tear me away from the televised games. Go Bears!! (I had to say that - I am from Chicago). My favorite football season fare is chili. I like it spicy and with a lot of kick. It’s easy, filling and downright good, made with this recipe. Now don’t forget all the other fixins’ to go along with it, like devil hot wings, and lots of ice cold brew, just to name a few. Whether you’re making and eating it at home or tailgating at the stadium...games on!
Disgustingly Good Chili Recipe
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 red bell peppers, diced
1 large jalapeno, minced
3 Anaheim or Poblano chiles, chopped
1 yellow onion, diced
1 head garlic, minced
1-1/2 lbs. ground beef
1/2 lb. bulk Italian sausage
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup tomato paste
6 ounces beer (I prefer Guinness Stout)
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, with juice
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, with juice
green onion, thinly sliced on the bias (garnish)
shredded Cheddar (garnish)
Preparation:
In large stock pot over high heat, add canola oil. Add bell pepper, jalapeno, chiles and onion and cook until caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute a minute longer. Add ground beef and sausage. Cook until meat is nicely browned and cooked through, about 7 to10 minutes. Add in Everyday Spice Blend, chili powder, cumin, and cook for 1 minute. Add in tomato sauce and paste and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in beer and chicken stock. Add beans, lower heat and simmer for 2 hours. Garnish with green onions and grated cheddar cheese. Serve with French bread or crackers.
