Sunnys Game Day Chili Recipes

SUNNY'S 5-INGREDIENT CHILI

Steps:

• In a large pot, add the oil, salt, a few grinds of black pepper and the onions. Cook over medium-high heat until tender, about 6 minutes. Add the chili powder and beef and break up into bits, cooking until done, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and beans. Stir and cover to cook for 20 minutes. Serve with a bar of toppings and freshly fried corn tortilla strips to use for utensils.
• Bring at least 2 inches of oil to 350 degrees F in a Dutch oven or other large heavy pot. Add the tortilla strips one by one and fry in small batches until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle with salt.

BIG GAME DAY CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large deep pot over medium-high heat, and stir in the onions, garlic, and bell peppers. Cook and stir until the onions are transparent, about 5 minutes. Add the beef stew meat, sausage, and bacon. Cook until meats are evenly browned. Drain the fat.
• Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, black beans, kidney beans, chipotle peppers with sauce, beef broth, beer, chili powder, oregano, pepper, salt, and chocolate. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour; 2 hours is preferred.

GAME-DAY CHILI

Steps:

• Cook first 3 ingredients in a Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain well.
• Combine meat mixture, beans, and next 11 ingredients in Dutch oven (I usually start off with half the beef broth and beer, and add more as needed); bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 3 hours or until thickened. Garnish, if desired.

SLOW COOKER GAME DAY CHILI

Steps:

• Line a 5 to 6-quart slow cooker with a Reynolds KITCHENS® Slow Cooker Liner. Fit liner snugly against bottom and sides of bowl; pull top of liner over rim. Set aside.
• Brown ground beef, bell peppers, and onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is no longer pink. Drain well.
• Spoon beef mixture into the lined slow cooker. Add beans, seasoning mix, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes and green chilies to beef mixture; stir gently with wooden or plastic spoon.
• Cover and cook 6 to 7 hours on Low or 3 to 3 1/2 hours on High, until hot and bubbly throughout.
• Carefully remove lid to allow steam to escape. Stir gently and serve chili directly from slow cooker liner. Serve directly from lined slow cooker. Top with cheese and sour cream, if desired.
• Do not lift or transport liner with food inside. Remove all food and cool slow cooker completely before lifting liner from slow cooker.
