Trisha Yearwood Pork Green Chili Recipes

HOT CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Stir together the oil, cayenne, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of salt in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until the spices infuse the oil, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Spoon 1/4 cup of the spiced oil into the pan. Add the carrots and onion and cook until the vegetables soften and start to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the chicken and remaining 1 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking up the chicken with a wooden spoon, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, hot sauce and 2 tablespoons more of the spiced oil. Stir together and bring to a boil. Pour in the stock. Return to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the chili is thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Ladle the chili into bowls. Top each bowl with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped pickles and a drizzle of the remaining hot oil.

PORK GREEN CHILI (COLORADO STYLE)

Steps:

• Cut the pork roast in half (to sear more of the surface) and smear with 2 tbsp olive oil. Generously sprinkle salt and fresh ground pepper on all sides. Sear on medium high heat.
• Put in a crockpot, add the chicken broth and water, and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to low and cook another 2-3 hours.
• Meanwhile, sauté onion, garlic, tomatillo, and serrano in 2 tbsp olive oil. Puree 1 cup mild green chiles with ½ cup of the liquid from the crockpot. Set aside.
• When done (after 3 hours of cooking), fish the pork out of the crockpot and set aside to cool for 15 minutes. Take 3 cups of the broth from the crockpot and set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the onion mixture, spices, tomatoes, and all the green chiles (including pureed).
• Gradually add the broth to the flour, stirring constantly to ensure no lumps. Then pour the flour mixture into the crockpot gradually, stirring constantly to blend in.
• Shred the pork with a fork and add to crockpot. Cook on low for another hour, stirring occasionally.
• Serve with tortillas or use as a sauce over eggs, burritos, or whatever!

CORNBREAD-CHILI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef to the onion and saute, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain off any excess fat. Stir in the salsa, corn, vegetable broth, chili powder, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Transfer the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, smoothing into an even layer.
• In a large bowl, mix together the corn muffin mix with about 1 1/2 cups milk, or just enough to make it easy to spread. Spread it thinly over the chili mixture. Bake until browned to top, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the casserole to set. Top with the Cheddar and sour cream before serving.

FANCY CHILI

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and green onions and cook for about 1 minute. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chili powder until fully combined. Add the tomatoes, beans, bell pepper, carrots, brown sugar and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer the chili for 15 minutes.
