Beef Chili With Stewed Pinto Beans Recipes

AWARD WINNING CHILI RECIPE WITH GROUND BEEF & PINTO BEANS

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, sauté your minced garlic and onion with vegetable oil, over a medium heat.
• Add your ground beef and break it up until it's browned off.
• Add beef broth and let it simmer for a few minutes over medium heat.
• Throw all of your spices, except for chili powder, into the chili and occasionally stir the mixture. I keep my bay leaves whole and just pull them out at the end. You can crush bay leaves though.
• Add your can of crushed tomato and stir.
• Add your diced jalapeño, chili bean and chili powder. If you want it spicy, add the jalapeño seeds into your chili. If you want to keep it mild, only add half of the jalapeño (no seeds) or omit all together.
• Lastly, add your cornmeal. This acts a thickening agent. Stir it into your chili and keep your chili simmering for another 10 minutes. If you want even thicker chili, bring it to a boil and then reduce to a simmer, after adding your cornmeal.

• Add 5 crumbled dried arbol chiles to the pot with the tomato paste, then continue as directed.
