Whoops, I got off the thread's topic.
How amazing it is still below zero but feels balmy relative to the temperature a couple days ago.
Superbowl is tomorrow and the only reason to watch is to hope the Patriots get crushed. Making chili.
Here is a good recipe.
HOW DO YOU MAKE GOOD HOMEMADE CHILI
Start with a large heavy-based pot (or casserole pot) and sauté onions, green peppers (or capsicum), jalapeños and garlic until fragrant.
Cook until browned (Break up any big chunks with the end of your wooden spoon). Stir in your seasonings and spices, then mix in crushed tomatoes, broth and beans.
Let simmer until the chili thickens (this takes about 30 minutes). That’s IT!
WHAT INGREDIENTS GO INTO CHILI?
- The recipe calls for ground beef (or beef mince) but you CAN you use ground turkey or chicken. You could also use a slow cook meat, such as chuck steak or brisket, BUT you will need to have it on a low simmer for a couple of hours to allow the meat to break down.
- You’ll need other simple veggies, such as onions, bell peppers and garlic to create your flavour base.
- The most important ingredients to add into a good chili recipe is spices! For example: cumin, chili powder, paprika and cayenne.
WHAT BEANS DO YOU USE FOR CHILI?
Any beans can be used in this chili recipe! I love kidney beans (red beans) and black beans, but you can swap them with pinto beans or even chick peas!
WHAT DO YOU TOP CHILI WITH?
To make your Chili even BETTER, top with any of the following options!
- Sour cream
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Sliced jalapeños
- Sliced green onions
- Chopped Cilantro
