TOUCHDOWN CHILI

Steps:

• Place the ancho and guajillo chiles in a small saucepot and cover with the stock. Bring to a low boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently 10 to 15 minutes. Puree and reserve.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Add the chorizo and begin to render the fat. Pat the beef dry with paper towel and sprinkle with salt and black pepper before adding into the Dutch oven with the Worcestershire. Cook until a nice crusty brown develops on the beef (the salt helps make a nice crust on meat). Add the coriander, cumin, oregano, cloves, cinnamon, garlic, chile and onions and cook until the onions are soft. Pour in the beer to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits that have accumulated on the bottom of the pan. Add the dried chili puree, masa harina and honey. Reduce the heat to low and simmer to thicken and develop flavor, 45 minutes.
• Serve with the toppings of your choice.

RACHAEL RAY'S SOUTHWESTERN CHILI CON QUESO PASTA BAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high and position the rack 8 inches from the heat. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the boiling water and cook the pasta until slightly undercooked--a little chewy at the center. While the water is coming to a boil, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the hamburger. When the hamburger is almost finished, but still a little pink, throw in the garlic, jalepeño, and onions and finish cooking until the burger is browned and the onion is translucent. Drain the grease from the skillet and mix in the cumin, coriander and chili powder. Take off the heat or turn heat down low. In a medium sauce pot (and you can do this while you're browning the hamburger), melt the butter and add the flour to it. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes over moderate heat and then whisk in the milk. When the milk comes to a bubble, stir in the cheese, cilantro and parsley with a wooden spoon. When the cheese has melted, stir in the tomatoes. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it back into the large pot. Add the contents of the hamburger and all of the Cheddar sauce, and stir to combine. Transfer to a baking dish, sprinkle with a bit more cheese if you wish, and place under the broiler to lightly brown.
