My Mommys Chili Recipes

MY MOM'S CLASSIC CHILI

Steps:

• In a large 12-inch nonstick skillet, brown the ground beef (or turkey) with the onion and salt until the meat is cooked through. Drain excess grease, if needed.
• In a large pot, combine the pinto beans, tomato juice, tomato sauce, and ketchup. Stir in the bay leaves, water, garlic salt, pepper, chili powder, cayenne, cumin and brown sugar.
• Add the cooked meat/onion mixture.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring, then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, over medium-low heat for an hour (or up to 4-5 hours), stirring occasionally. Add additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed, before serving.

MOMMY'S ANY DAY CHILI

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat, add the oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the onions and season with pinch of salt. Cook until the onions are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chipotle peppers and tomato paste and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the turkey, breaking the meat down using a spatula. Add the dried seasonings--the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin and ancho chili powder--and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons each salt and pepper and mix as you break the meat down more using the spatula. Allow this to cook until all of the meat is browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer the cooked turkey to a medium bowl and set aside.
• Using the same skillet (don't worry about cleaning the skillet out; it's okay for those flavors to also mesh with the chorizo), add the beef chorizo and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
• In a large pot, add the chili base, chile sauce and tomato sauce over medium to medium-low heat. Let the brick break down completely, then add the meat mixture and cooked chorizo to the pot. Next, add the crushed tomatoes and chili beans with their liquid and allow to cook until the beans and tomatoes are heated through and the flavors are combined, 30 to 35 minutes over medium to low heat. Serve with sour cream, avocado, Cotija, Cheddar, green onions and corn chips for topping!
