Quick & Easy Chili Recipe

SurferWife — Thu, 16 May 2019 18:58:52 GMT

First off...I know I can Google this, but I'd rather get some ideas from the forum ladies here.

Does anyone have a quick & easy chili recipe? I want to make it for chili dogs & we don't care for canned chili or canned hot dog sauce.

I don't want to get extravagant; I know some chili recipes require you to throw in everything but the kitchen sink.

Ideas? Please share! Oh, & NO BEANS! Thanks so much!!

Open a can of Hormel's chili with beans. Heat in microvave as per directions. Pour over Fritos -- plain or jalapeno -- add a dollop of sour cream.

Edited to add: Hormel's has chili without beans.

Brown one pound of ground chuck with onions, drain well. I add 1 tablespoon of chili powder, I can of petite diced tomatoes, 1 small can of tomato paste and can of tomato sauce. Simmer until well blended and cooked. Recipe can be doubled. Freezes well. Works great for hot dogs and meat sauce for nachos. Very basic recipe. I could never make enough of this when we had special events for the the youth at church . We would keep this hot in crockpot. Plus had small bowls of chopped onions, hot peppers for anyone wanting it spicy. Southern Bee

I clipped this recipe for "North Jersey Texas Weiner Sauce" from an old issue of Cook's Country. It makes about 3 cups:

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 lb ground beef

1 onion, chopped

3 tbsp tomato paste

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp brown sugar

1/4 tsp allspice

2 cups chili sauce

1 cup water

1/4 cup hot sauce (I only use a couple tbsps, we prefer less hot)

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp mustard

Brown beef and onion in oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in tomato paste, chili powder, brown sugar, and allspice for 2 minutes. Add chili sauce and water and bring to boil. Simmer over medium-low heat until thickened.

Grind half of mixture in food processor until coarsely ground, then pour back in skillet. Stir in hot sauce, Worcestershire, and mustard.

@candyagain

Thank you for responding, but in my request I stated we don't like canned chili. I want to make something homemade.

Any recipe that doesnt call for cumin is not going to have the "chili taste". For years I've browned ground beef with a chopped onion and have added William's Chili Mix in a silver envelope along with diced canned tomatoes. You can add beans or not. Real Southwestern chili doesn't have beans. I like it with Fritos and a little cheese on top.

You can bet I'm going to add a small can of Hatch green chiles to it!

@SurferWife Wick Fowler's 2-Alarm Chili seasoning is almost as good as mine (which is basically this same thing). Spice and salt are in separate packages, add as much as you want but the basic recipe is fantastic!

It has real chili flavor, the amount of heat you can customize, and you add a little corn flour (masa) mixed with water at the end which adds a little body.

Maybe there is a "clone" recipe online--I don't know. Good luck!

@SurferWife I found this online and it seems pretty close to what I do. I add some diced tomatoes rather than just water, and DO NOT mix the masa in with the spices. It goes in last mixed with a little water.

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef

Spice Mix

1 1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons masa
2 teaspoons dehydrated onion (1/2 cup chopped fresh onion)
1/2 teaspoon dehydrated garlic (1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic)
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup chili powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
8 ounces tomato sauce
16 ounces water

Instructions

Brown the beef in a large pot or dutch oven. Drain beef. Add the spices (with the exception of the masa) and stir in thoroughly. Add tomato sauce and water. If desired add 1 14 ounce can of beans. Reduce temperature to simmer. Simmer for about 30 minutes. If you want to thicken the chili, mix the masa in a 1/4 cup of hot water. Stir the masa until smooth. Pour the masa mixture into the chili. Cook until the chili thickens and serve.

@SurferWife

2 lbs of ground beef or cubes or both

One packet / box of Wick Fowler's Chili kit.

So easy, so good. I substitute water for the tomato sauce because I grew up with chili without tomato.

And for crying out loud, no bell peppers or olives in chili.

I don't like beans in my chili either. "if you know beans about chili, you know there should be no beans in chili". source unknown

This is probably heresy to real chili buffs, but I use taco seasoning in my chili. I always have it on hand from the restaurant supply house and I don'tf goof up on seasoning amounts. There once was a chain restaurant where I used to live that overloaded everything with cumin. I couldn't get over that and now am afraid to use it. PS They went out of business.

Here is a recipe I found in the WaPo Food Section back in mid 60's. It became our family's favorite chili recipe, tried other recipes, always came back to this one although I play with the recipe as we all do. One child did not like beans, so he got chili without kidney beans; rest of family wanted kidney beans and put in chili pot last hour to take on the flavors. Recipe does not include beans, so it is an option.

Pedernales River Chili

Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson's recipe...

4 Pounds Chili Meat (Coarsely-Ground Round Steak or well-trimmed chuck)

1 Large Onion, Chopped

2 Cloves Garlic

1 Teaspoon Ground Oregano

1 Teaspoon Comino Seed

6 Teaspoons Chili Powder (or more, if needed)

1 1/2 Cups Canned Whole Tomatoes

2-6 Generous Dashes Liquid Hot Sauce

2 Cups Hot Water

Salt to Taste

Place meat, onion and garlic in large, heavy pan or dutch oven, cook until light in color. Add oregano, comino seed, chili powder, tomatoes, hot pepper sauce, salt and hot water.

Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for about 1 hour. Skim off fat during cooking.

PS: I cooked my chili longer than an hour to get it thick and flavorful.
