Arrogant Chili

"For times when plain old chili just won't do. Note: There's plenty more beans than there is beef in this recipe, and the measurements are just rough estimates of what I used, feel free to use whatever you like!"

directions

  • In a large, heavy pot , over medium, medium-highish, sautée onion and Anaheim chili pepper in a couple of Tbsp of oil When they soften, add tomatoes and cook for a minute or so, then add garlic and cook till it becomes fragrant.
  • Stir in a little bit of the beef broth, enough to easily add tomato paste without sloshing liquid all over. Add remaining broth and coffee once the tomato paste is in there and more or less homogeneously mixed.
  • Add the ground beef (I do not like to brown it in the pan, because I like little pieces of meat, not huge chunks, but you can do what you want), and break it up with a spatula until it’s bitsy little pieces.
  • Add all remaining ingredients, and when it comes to a simmer, turn heat to low, cover with the lid ajar, and let cook for an hour or so (at least!), make sure to stir often though.
  • Check seasoning and serve with cornbread.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Culinary school drop-out (happy cook)! My name is Meg, as my public name might suggest, and I'm 20 years old. So far, I've been a cook my whole life, at home and in restaurants, working as a Baker's Assistant right now. I was raised in a commercial bakery and general store as well run by my aunt and mom. I'm engaged to an amazing guy, who I met in high school in a restaurant prep course. We both went to college for Culinary Arts/Chef Training, but neither found the program very satisfying. As it stands, we're both happiest cooking, so long as it's not in a kitchen lab. I've been nosing around 'Zaar since I was about 13 or 14, and it's been a huge source of learning for me, back when I didn't even know what a roux was, haha. If you've seen me around before, I'm the former SugarMegnolia. Also, I write a blog, however, I'm not always the best at keeping up with it, but try to put in my best effort whenever I get around to writing. The link is here, please give it a quick look-see!
