Easy Medium Spicy Chili Recipes

SPICY CHILI

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, cook beef and sausage over medium heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes, breaking into crumbles; drain. Add the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring frequently. If desired, serve with additional jalapeno and sour cream.

SPICY CHILI

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, brown the ground beef and ground sausage, using a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain most of the grease and remove meat to a plate.
• Add onion, bell peppers, and jalapeño peppers to the pot and sauté on medium high heat for 2-3 minutes.
• Add spices, ketchup, lime juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire, vinegar, mustard, and V8. Stir well. Add beans, tomatoes, and salt and pepper.
• Return the ground meat to the pot and bring the mixture to a low boil. Turn to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 1-2 hours.

BASIC SPICY CHILI

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute beef and onions together until beef is browned.
• Drain beef and add to a large soup pot (this step can be skipped if you wish to brown the beef in the soup pot).
• Add tomato juice and simmer over medium heat.
• Add tomatoes (with their juice), crushing between fingers to break apart.
• Add kidney beans, chili powder (the entire 4 tablespoons may be a bit much for some people, so start out small and add to taste), and optional hot sauce.
• After mixture comes to a simmer, add baking soda (the baking soda will help cut down the acidity of the tomatoes).
• Simmer for about 20-30 minutes, adding water if necessary to thin out the chili.
• Taste for seasoning.

• Add the beer and simmer until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and beans and bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve with desired assorted toppings.
