Curts Super Bowl Chili 2014 Recipes

CURT'S NEW YEAR'S EVE CHILI

Steps:

• Fry bacon in a heavy pot.
• Remove and reserve bacon.
• Brown the meat and garlic in the bacon fat. For best results, move to a cast iron skillet.
• Saute onions in stock pot until soft.
• Add the meat, bacon, chilis, spices, sauces, jalapenos, beer, tomatoes and paste.
• Simmer for two hours.
• Add remaining ingredients during cooking, as you check and stir.
• Make sure last ingredients are added with at least one hour of cooking time remaining.
• For best results, allow chili to sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours to give the spices a chance to intensify. It is ok to serve off the stove (suggest a bread bowl!), but it is almost always better as leftovers.
• Caution: freezing and reheating will effect the quality. It will still be good, but not the same.

SUPER BOWL CHILI

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook onions, garlic, ground beef and cubed sirloin in oil for 10 minutes, or until the meat is well browned and the onions are tender.
• Mix in the diced tomatoes with juice, dark beer, coffee, tomato paste and beef broth. Season with brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, cocoa powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, coriander and salt.
• Stir in 2 cans of the beans and hot chile peppers. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
• Stir in the 2 remaining cans of beans, and simmer for another 30 minutes.
