Katies Chili For A Crowd Recipes

CHILI FOR A CROWD

Steps:

• In an 8-qt. kettle or Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. , Stir in the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

LARGE GROUP CHILI

Steps:

• In a large pot put in all of the ground beef.
• Then fill with water to cover the beef.
• Bring the beef to a boil then reduce to a simmer. It is best that you stir it when you fist put it on the heat so the ground beef breaks up.
• Stir occasionally till all of the meat is cooked. It will take about 35 minutes to brown all of the beef.
• When the ground beef is simmering, chop the onion, green pepper, and celery. Make sure to stir the beef as you go.
• When meat is done, use a strainer to drain the meat.
• Leaving the meat to strain, finish chopping the vegetables.
• Add the vegetables to your chili pot with the vegetable oil. Sweat the vegetables in the oil till they soften.
• Once the vegetables are softened then add the ground beef. Then mix them together and turn off the heat.
• Add the rest of the ingredients to the chili pot with the heat off (I do this because I transport it after this step). Mix all the ingredients together and transport the chili pot to the final location.
• Then put back on heat. Bring it to a slow simmer (mixing occasionally). Let simmer for around 2 hours and serve.
