Bjs Chili Recipes

THE BEST CHILI

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until just browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
• Add the jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the cooked ground beef and any accumulated liquid, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the chili, partially covered, until the beef is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in the beans and their liquid and simmer uncovered until the beans are softened and the chili is thickened, about 30 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
• Top with sour cream, Cheddar and scallions. Serve with tortilla chips.

BJ'S CHILI

Steps:

• In a 5 qt. pot, heat canola oil while chopping onion. When oil is hot (not burnt) add garlic and onion and caramelize.
• Once onion and garlic are caramelized, pour in beer or whiskey (both have unique flavors, very different, but both very good) and cook for 3-5 more minutes.
• Add ground turkey and brown. Add chili seasoning and mix. Add tomatoes and green chilies, tomato sauce, and kidney beans and simmer. Add cayenne pepper, hot sauce, and chili powder to taste.
• Cover pot, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring intermittently.
