Sexy Spicy Chili For The Gourmet Cowgirl Wstrn North Carolina Recipes

SEXY, SPICY CHILI FOR THE GOURMET COWGIRL - WSTRN NORTH CAROLINA

Steps:

• Brown meat in skillet and sprinkle with cumin. Brown in large chunks and do not overcook - the insides of the big chunks should be a little pink. While you are browning the meat, heat up a large pot or dutch oven on another burner. If using veggie crumbles you can skip this step.
• In large pot or dutch oven, saute onions and peppers in olive oil for about 5 - 7 minutes. They should just start to turn golden. If using veggie crumbles - add them once the onions start to cook down.
• Add garlic, cans of tomatoes and can of green chilies, cook until heated through (about 5 min or so.) Season with pepper.
• Add cans of beans to tomato mixture along with drained browned ground beef (if not using veggie crumbles).
• Add hot peppers and seasonings.
• Lower heat and let simmer for 2 hours. Taste chili throughout cooking period and adjust all seasonings as needed. I found I needed to add more chili powder as it cooked. Add chipotle seasoning as it cooks until there is just a hint of smokiness. Adjust heat at this point with cayenne.
• Serve with your favorite cornbread.

SPICY BEEF CHILI

Steps:

• In a medium, hot soup pot brown the chuck with the thyme, sage and garlic. When browned remove and drain beef. Set aside. In the same pot heat the oil and add the onion, garlic, shallot, red bell pepper and jalapeno. Saute until vegetables begin to brown, about 7 to 10 minutes. Add chili powder, cayenne pepper, chipotle pepper, salt and cook, stirring, until spices begin to stick to the pan. Add Gallo burgundy and cook until liquid is reduced by 1 half. Add tomatoes and bring to a boil. Stir in beans and reserved beef and simmer, partially covered, over medium low heat for 1 hour. Serve with corn chips. Chili may be made, up to 2 days in advance and kept covered and refrigerated. Reheat to serve.

• Mix the ground coffee with the water in a large container. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight.
