What are your guys go to chilli recipes?
Me and my GF want to make our own as we're disappointed with the sauces and packets we buy in the supermarket, got a slow cooker of that helps things along.
Not bothered about heat I love hot stuff and my GF is getting to like hotter food.
My own personal chili recipe
2lbs Ground beef
1-2 Jalepeno sliced
1 large can tomato sauce 28oz
1 large can crushed tomatoes 28oz
2 cans black beans (with the juice there packed in)
2 cans red beans (with the juice there packed in)
1 large yellow onion diced
1 large red onion diced
Half clove crushed garlic or a couple tablespoons garlic powder
McCormick Hot Chili packet
McCormick Medium Chili packet
La Tiara Taco seasoning packet
1-2 tablespoons of sugar (cuts down on the acidity)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fry up the hamburger with half the white and red diced onions and the jalepeno till cooked. (I cook the hamberger till its fine like taco meat would be, but I leave a 1/3 of it larger chunks for the texture)
In a large stockpot throw the fried hamberger/onion/jalepeno mix in it.
Then thrown everything else in and mix it up real good. (Save some of the diced red onion to throw on top of the chili after the chili is done!)
Bring to a boil and then bring the temp back down to a low simmer.
Simmer covered for 2-3 hours,stirring every 30 mins.
The longer you cook it the thicker it becomes so if you like soupy chili stop cooking it after an hour and a half. I prefer a bit thicker so I go at least two and a half hours. I top mine with sour cream,diced red onion,and cheddar cheese(any cheese will work). Also I usually cook this in triple batches so the cooking times may be a bit shorter if doing a single batch. When its all said and done the beans will be nice and tender and the chili will be a dark burgundy color.
