New Years Day Chili Recipes

CHILLY DAY CHILI

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Cook and stir ground chicken in the hot oil until no longer pink and the chicken is crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Stir in pinto beans, onions, diced tomatoes, Mexican-style stewed tomatoes, water, brown sugar, chili powder, vinegar, mustard, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer chili until thickened and flavors have blended, about 3 hours. Stir occasionally and add extra water if needed.

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.
