Smokey Chipotle Chilli Con Carne With Garlic Bread Recipes

CHIPOTLE CHILI CON CARNE

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large, heavy pot (such as a Dutch oven) over medium heat until browned. Transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve all of the bacon drippings in the pot.
• Season the beef chunks with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and sauté the beef chunks, in 4 to 5 batches (so the pieces aren't overcrowded), in the bacon drippings for 5 minutes per batch until they're browned. Transfer the beef to a plate.
• Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of fat from the pot (add vegetable oil if you don't have enough fat left), reduce the heat to medium, and then add the onions, peppers and garlic. Sauté the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Stir in the cocoa powder and cumin and sauté for 1 minute. Return the beef, along with any juices, to the pot. Stir in the bay leaf, diced tomatoes (with liquid) and chipotles in adobo. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cover the pot.
• Simmer the mixture (covered), stirring occasionally, until the beef is very tender, about 3 hours.
• Uncover the pot and increase the heat to a boil. Boil the chili, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
• Stir in the kidney beans and season with salt and pepper. Simmer the chili for 5 minutes and then stir in the reserved bacon. Serve the chili with assorted toppings.

• Preheat oven to 150 degrees and put the pot in the oven for 1 hour. Stir every 20 minutes. Remove after 1 hour and allow to rest while you make the garlic bread. ( You may leave it longer and reheat gently at a time of your choosing, even overnight. This will enhance the flavour further.)
