Please share you Chili Recipes with me

[crazyforpooh]

I am running a luncheon for the new teachers in our high school and thought since the weather has turned cold a nice chili would be good to have at the luncheon.

Any good chili recipes out there?

Thanks,
laura

It's definitely not an "authentic" recipe, but it's easy & everyone here loves it! I've used pulled/shredded chicken instead of beef (I prefer it that way, but DS likes the beef) and I use great northern or black beans because DH dislikes kidney beans. If I have time to simmer it for a while, I don't bother to defrost the corn. Also, we have a specialty store nearby that has fresh spices. They make a "taco seasoning" mix that I use instead of the chili powder.

Chili

1 lb ground meat
1 can tomato soup
1 can refried beans
1 can Great Northern beans
1/2 bag corn (frozen, defrosted)
1 pkg Taco seasoning
1 Tbl chili powder
1 bag Lipton Rice & Sauce - Spanish flavor
2 c water

Just brown the meat, toss the rest in & let it simmer. You may need to add more water . . . . I just go by how thick it is - or isn't.

I've served it with a variety of things: crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheese - cheddar or taco mix, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, chopped fresh pepper & tomato, etc.

Texas Red Chili

Recipe By :Mugwump
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Casseroles Foreign
Soup

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pounds stew meat -- ground once (not twide)
1/2 cup ground red chiles (or plain ground chile
powder -- without the added spices).
1 tablespoon comino
1 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 tablespoons dried onions
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon Mexican oregano
8 ounces tomato sauce
8 ounces water
1 clove garlic
black pepper -- to taste

Brown the meat and skim off some of the grease if it is greasy, then
add the other ingredients and simmer for 30 mnutes.
Mix 2 level tablespoons of masa flour into 1/4 cup of luke-warm
water. Stir it up good, so there are no lumps. Add that to the pot and
simmer for another 30 minutes.
If you want your chili hot, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayene pepper. You can
leave the cayene out entirely if you like mild chili, or you can put a
whole teaspoon of cayene pepper if you like it really hot.
If you don't have masa flour, you can use corn starch for a thickener.
Try using less though, untill you see how much it is going to thicken the
chili. Mix it with water, just like you would do if you had masa flour.
It the first time you add it, it doesn't thicken it enough, add some
more.

The Chili is better if you let it season for 24 hours before you serve
it.

Serve it in a big bowl, and garnish it with fresh chopped onions and
grated mild chedder cheese.

Ground meat will work too, although it is usually double-ground.
Single ground stew meat is the best.

If I'm pushed for time...I reach for Fantastic brand vegetarian chili...(less than $2 per box)...you just add 2 cans of beans and 1 can of tomatoes.........this is available in most large grocery stores and makes excellent chili...probably about 6-8 servings.

My favorite homemade veggie chili:

2 Tbsp. olive oil, heated
1 medium onion, sliced and chopped
1 large bell pepper (color of your choice), seeded and chopped
1 large jalepeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup beer or veggie stock
1 13 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 14 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 14 oz can dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can vegetarian refried beans
1 Tbsp. ground cumin
2 Tbsp. chili powder
1 Tbsp. hot pepper sauce
1 tsp. coarse salt

Saute onion and peppers in olive oil for 3 to 5 minutes or until veggies are softened.
Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.

This is

Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, etc.

I have a large crew to feed so I do alot of my shopping at the discount grocers......like Aldis, and Marcs dont know if you have either but it save tons of money.You may try that if your doing alot for the teachers.

3 pounds of ground turkey browned
2 large onions chopped added to turkey while browning
3 green peppers chopped added to turkey while browning.

Drain meat mixture....

Add 2 cans of mexican kidney beans, one can of regular kidney beans, 2 cans of tomato soup, one jar of medium salsa, 3 cans of diced tomatoes, and 3 package of Aldi brand chili seasoning. Or if I cant get that then I put in Chili powder to taste. Add some black pepper. This makes about a 6 quart pot full. Simmer for several hours. At least two to make it the best!

I place bowls of fresh toppings out...tomatoes, chedder cheese grated, onions, sour cream. This way everyone gets their favorite version.

Using turkey is a great low fat way to go. Esp with all the people watching their weight nowadays.

You could make this the day ahead then put it in a crock pot the next day at school for the teachers. Just give it enough time in the crock pot to heat through before serving.

Have fun!
