Thread: Minnesota Chili

I just made this today, I was looking for a chili recipe w/the ingredients I had on hand. It is really ***SPICY***, I just took a bite… perfect for my head cold that is slowly killing me!!! LOL Hope you all enjoy


Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (chicken or turkey)
2 tsp olive oil
3 ribs celery
1 large onion
2 cans diced tomatoes 15oz
3 cloves of garlic
2 jalapeño peppers (finely diced & opitional)
24 oz fluid tomato juice or sub 2 8oz cans of tomato sauce plus 2 cups of water
1/4 tsp of ground cayenne pepper
3 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp kosher salt
2 cans kidney beans 15oz, you can use pinto or black beans

*** NOTE on all of the spices this was to be use more or less to taste!!!***

In a large pot or skillet over med heat, use a wooden spoon to brown & break up ground meat. When browned drain any liquid, and return to heat adding the olive oil. Next add the celery & onion and stir to combine. Add cayenne pepper, chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, and salt to the pot and stir. Allow it to simmer on med heat for about 10 min. Rinse & drain your canned beans. Add the beans and give it a good stir. Allow the chili to simmer another 10 min to warm the beans. After the 10 min check the celery to verify it's done, it should be tender and this will be your signal that the chili is done. Top w/diced onions and shredded cheese and serve w/warm cornbread. Tastes even better the next day!

Sounds good! I'm always looking for a great chili recipe and the more heat, the better
