Tangy Green Tomato Chili With Beef Recipes

GREEN TOMATO BEEF CHILI

Steps:

• Season the steak (pretty heavily) and chop into cubes. Season ground beef also. Set aside.
• In a skillet on medium-high, throw peppers on there to heat up and roast for 10 minutes or until they have dark spots.
• In the meantime, chop up green tomatoes (about 5 large ones) and, if using ripe tomatoes, chop those up also. Once the peppers have started showing dark spots, remove from skillet and throw into food processor, along with the tomatoes and onions.You can add the paprika then to the tomato puree or wait until everything's combined.
• Add the cubed steak to the skillet and sear until it is just pink in the center.
• Throw into crockpot (or wherever you will make the chili).
• Cook seasoned ground beef.
• Add tomato/onion/pepper puree to crockpot (or pot on stove) and mix with steak.
• Finally, add the cooked ground beef.
• Once the contents are hot and have been boiling for 15 minutes, add the beans. If they are not canned, add between 1/2 and 1 cup of water to the pot. This will depend on if you want the chili to be ready quickly or if you want to let it simmer in the crockpot for a few hours. I think that the more you let it simmer, the better it tastes.

TRADITIONAL CHILI WITH GROUND TURKEY

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground turkey. Cook and stir until the turkey is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the onion, green and red bell peppers, and jalapeno peppers. Cook and stir until the onion is softened and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, chili powder, sugar, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Continue to cook until fragrant, about 8 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the beef broth, pinto beans, red beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer until thickened, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. For a thinner chili, cover the pot when simmering.
