Rockn And Roastn Chili Recipes

SLOW COOKER CHILI

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large and deep non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add onion and saute 3 minutes, then add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer. Pour onions into a 6 or 7 quart slow cooker (I like this one HERE).
• Return skillet to medium-high eat, add beef and cook stirring occasionally until beef has browned.
• Drain most of fat from beef, leaving about 2 Tbsp in with beef (this is optional, I think it ads flavor but you can drain it all if you'd prefer). Pour browned beef into slow cooker.
• Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cocoa powder, sugar, coriander and season mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 5 - 6 hours.
• Stir in dark and light red kidney beans and allow to heat through, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with desired toppings.

CHUCK ROAST CHILI

Steps:

• Remove fat and ligaments from chuck roast and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add cubed roast. Cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Transfer meat to a bowl and set aside.
• Return pot to medium heat. Add remaining oil and vinegar, scraping up any bits at the bottom of the pot. Add onion and bell peppers and cook until onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add stock and water. Add diced tomatoes, light kidney beans, dark kidney beans, brown sugar, tomato paste, chili powder, barbecue sauce, ketchup, garlic, cumin, hot sauce, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Bring chili to a simmer, about 5 minutes.
• Cover pot and simmer 2 to 4 hours.
