2 tablespoons minced (3 large cloves) garlic
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup chili powder, or to taste
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons tomato paste (recommend getting tube)
3 pounds boneless beef chuck, ground coarse
1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, including liquid
1 to 1 1/2 cups beef broth
4 tablespoons cider vinegar
1-ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped

Rice, as an accompaniment
Toppings: Tortilla chips; sour cream; grated cheddar; chopped red onions; chopped jalapenos; diced avocado; minced cilantro; etc.

Steps:

In a casserole cook the onions, peppers and garlic in the oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin and oregano and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more. Add the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. Add the tomatoes, 1 cup of the broth, the vinegar and chocolate and bring the mixture to a boil, crushing the tomatoes with the back of a spoon. Simmer the chili, covered, for 1 hour, adding additional broth, if necessary. Add the kidney beans and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes more.

Time 1h45m

Yield 1/2 cup, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

5 lbs potatoes, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk (a bit more or less to obtain your desired consistency when mashing the potatoes)
8 ounces smoked gouda cheese, shredded
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 chipotle chiles in adobo, finely chopped
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F
In a large pot, boil potatoes in water until tender but not falling apart, about 20-25 minutes.
Drain potatoes and mash with the butter and milk. I use my hand mixer.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
In a large bowl combine potatoes, Gouda, garlic and chipotle peppers; mix well.
Put potatoes into a 4 quart casserole and bake, covered, for 45 to 55 minutes stirring once.
I like to uncover the potatoes the last 15 minutes or so of baking time to brown the top a little.
Potatoes can be made ahead. Mix as above, do not bake. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Bake as directed or until potatoes are heated through.

SOUTHWEST SPICE BLEND

Southwest Spice Blend image

This is a versatile blend that I like to use when I want to add a southwest twist to my cooking. I add 2-3 tablespoons to lean ground meat when I make chili. I even mix it with canned tomatoes for a spiced tomato blend. You can even mix 1 tablespoon with the juice of a couple of limes for a marinade. I think the original recipe came from Canadian Living magazine.
