Beans With Beef Jerky Recipes

SOUTHWESTERN BLACK BEAN JERKY CHILI

Steps:

• Brown ground beef in large skillet or dutch oven.
• Drain off fat from ground beef.
• Return beef to same pan and add diced onions.
• Saute for 2 minutes on medium heat.
• Add garlic, jerky and green bell peppers.
• Carmelize vegetables.
• Add tomato paste and deglaze with beef or chicken stock.
• Add chili sauce and then remaining ingredients except for the cilantro.
• Simmer on medium low heat for one hour or until all seasonings are fully incorporated into the chili.
• Season chili to taste at the end and take off the heat and add the fresh chopped cilantro.
• You want to try to keep the cilantro as green as possible.
• Serve the chili with shredded smoked mozzarella cheese or Monterey Jack.
• Note: Use very little salt in chili since you will get most of your needed salt from the jerky.
• Also, keep in mind that chipotle peppers are very spicy and you need just a little bit.
• Another suggestions: The chili could be served with fried tortilla chips or warm flour tortillas or flat bread would be nice as well.
