NAN'S CHILI

EASY SLOW COOKER CHILI

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; drain excess fat. Add garlic, onion and chili. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4-6 minutes. Place ground beef mixture into a 6-qt slow cooker. Stir in beef stock, kidney beans, black beans, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, chili powder, paprika, oregano, cumin and hot sauce; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours or high heat for 5-6 hours. Serve immediately, garnished with sour cream, green onions and corn chips, if desired.

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.

NANA'S GREEN CHILE MAKE-AHEAD BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Butter the bottom and sides of an 8 1/2x11-inch baking dish with butter.
• Use remaining butter to coat 1 side of each bread slice. Place bread butter-side down in the prepared pan until entire bottom is covered in a single layer.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned, crumbly, and almost fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle sausage over bread in an even layer.
• Beat eggs, sour cream, and pepper with either a whisk or electric beater. Pour evenly over sausage.
• Mix Cheddar cheese and green chiles together in a separate bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the egg mixture. Cover and put in the refrigerator for 8 hours, to overnight.
• To bake: Do not preheat the oven. Place, uncovered, in an oven and set to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until brown on top, about 1 hour.

CHEESE & CHILLI NAANS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Sprinkle the breads with a little water, then top with grated cheddar and chilli. Bake on the oven racks for 5 mins until the cheese has melted, then remove and scatter with the coriander.
• Cut into quarters and serve.

CHEESY CHILLI NAAN BREAD

Steps:

• Preperation:.
• Lightly flour a dry surface.
• Place a sheet of greaseproof paper on a baking tray.
• Place all dry ingredients in a mixer, ensuring that the salt and the yeast are separated.
• Form a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the Oil and Water.
• Mix on a low setting for 4 minutes until the dough has formed and has come away from the sides of the mixing bowl.
• Remove from mixing bowl and place onto the floured surface.
• The dough should be relatively stretchy so gently knead for a maximum of 1 minute and then separate the dough into two equal pieces.
• Shape each piece into a ball and place on the baking tray, ensuing they are separated by at least 10cm.
• Cover the tray and leave to rise in a warm area for a minimum of 1 hour. If you are covering with a plastic bag or cling film, lightly rub some oil on the top of the dough to prevent them from sticking.
• Method:.
• Once the dough has risen, place onto a lightly floured surface.
• Roll each ball out to a maximum thickness of 1cm.
• Sprinkle the cheese in the centre of the dough.
• Pull the edges of the dough inward and form together to seal the cheese inside.
• Rollout the dough again to a maximum of 0.5cm thickness. The folds made from sealing should no longer be visible and there should not be any gaps where the cheese can escape from.
• Heat a large, lightly oiled pan.
• Once the oil has heated up, place one of rolled out naans into the pan, folded side down.
• Heat for 4 minutes, on a relatively high heat, lightly shaking the pan after 2 minutes to ensure dough does not stick. Bubbles should now have formed on the top layer.
• Turn over and repeat, heating the other side for 3 to 4 minutes or until nicely browned. Remove from the pan and serve, placing a small amount of butter on top.
