7 Meat Chili The 7th Meat Is Pride Recipes

PICK A MEAT CHILI

Steps:

• Heat a large pot over medium heat. Mix together the coriander, paprika, cumin, cayenne and some salt and pepper in a small bowl and toss with the cubed meat, ground meat or eggplant.
• Add the oil to the pot and when hot, add the meat or eggplant and cook, turning as necessary, until brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and jalapeno and cook, stirring, until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes.
• Add the beer and water and deglaze the pot, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add the tomato and chipotle if using, bring to a simmer and simmer until the meat is tender, 1 to 1 ½ hours. (The cooking time will be less for ground meat, chicken and eggplant.)
• Add the beans and continue to simmer for 10 to 15 minutes to thicken. (If using pre-soaked dried beans, the cooking time may be longer.) Serve the chili garnished with your favorite toppers on hand.

7 MEAT CHILI -- (THE 7TH MEAT IS PRIDE)

Steps:

• Pepperoni Notes: I prefer Boars Head pepperoni. Go to your deli counter and have them cut off about a 2-3 inch (1/2 to 1 lb) piece of pepperoni. Dice the pepperoni into small edible size chunks. Cook all the meets in a large non-stick pot, but make sure you cook the pepperoni chunks first. Drain most of the pepperoni grease, but keep enough in the pot to help cook the other meats. Place all cooked meats in a large (to very large) crock pot. Add diced onion, diced green pepper, and diced jalapeno (no seeds). Add 3 cans of chili beans (drained but not rinsed) and 2 cans of tomatoes (drained). Add all spices listed. Mix well. (Optional: add 1 cup of beef stock if the mix looks a little dry) Turn crock pot on low heat for 12 - 18 hours with the lid on. (Stir occasionally) 4 hours before serving add 2 cans chili beans and 2 cans tomatoes. Add seasoning to taste. Remove Bay Leaves. 1 hour before serving: If the chili looks a thin or watery then turn on high with the lid off. Serve with choice of Cheese, Oyster Crackers, Sour Cream, and Diced Onion (This chili is fairly spicy, to reduce heat use mild sausage, mild beans and no jalapeno.)
