CINCINNATI CHILI

Cincinnatians consume more than two million po...Image via WikipediaThere is one more chili recipe that we'd like to share and again it was requested by our friends on Face Book.  Cincinnati Chile.  Topped with shredded cheese it is the perfect texture.  Simply ensure that your cheese is well chilled, shred it on your shredder (smallest holes) and there you'll have the perfect topping for this delicious meal.
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
2 onions, chopped fine
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of tomato paste
2 tablespoons of chili powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon allspice
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups tomato sauce
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons of dark brown sugar
1 1/2 pounds of 85-percent lean ground beef.
PREPARATION:
1. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook onions until soft and browned around edges, about 8 minutes.
Add garlic, tomato paste, chili powder, oregano, cinnamon, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper and allspice. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth, tomato sauce, vinegar and sugar.
2. Add beef and stir to break up meat. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chili is deep brown and slightly thickened, 15-20 minutes.
Season with salt and serve.
This can be frozen for up to 3 months or stored in your refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Now, add your grated cheese on top, step back and watch the fun begin.

SMOKY SAUSAGE CHILI

Homemade chili, self madeImage via Wikipedia


I know, I know it's not quite time for chili yet but this Smoky Sausage Chili recipe caught my eye so I thought I'd post it so you can use it in the months to come.

I really don't enjoy the Winter months but with some hot, steamy chili simmering on the stove it makes it a little easier to handle.
Try this recipe out and let me know how you love it.


INDREGDIENTS:

1 pound of lean ground beef
1 large onion
1 tablespoon of chili powder (I prefer a little more as hot and spicy chili is always what I'm looking for)
1 tablespoon of ground cumin
1/2 pound of smoked sausage (again I use the hot stuff as opposed to the mild variety)
1 12-ounce can of kidney beans
1 cup of Pace's picante sauce
1 cup of V-8 vegetable juice
1 8 ounce can of tomato sauce

PREPARATION:

Brown the ground meat with the onion in a large sauce pan or a dutch oven.  Sprinkle the chili powder and cumin over the meat while it is cooking and stir it for about 2 minutes.

Slice and quarter the smoked sausage.

Add all of the remaining ingredients and bring everything to a boil.  Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.  Be sure to add a little water if it gets too thick.  Don't want it to burn now, do we?

That's it.  Simple, quick and really really great on a cold Winter day.  Now go sit in front of your fireplace, bring along a good book and watch the snow through your window.  If you're like me that's as close as I want to be to the outside.
