Whats-It-Got-In-It Chili?
From Joe's Butcher Shop, Carmel:
This is a recipe I found last year that quickly became a favorite among friends.
Sounds sort of nutty... but the taste is excellent. Goes great the second time around with Tostito's Scoops and melted cheese on top.
I never put in the optional peppers....
INGREDIENTS:
4 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound Joe’s Premium Grind
¾ pound Joe’s Hot Italian Sausage
½ can Academia Barilla peeled cherry tomatoes with juice, (14 ounce can)
1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle Blue Moon Beer
1 cup strong brewed coffee
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
¼ cup chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
3 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans
1 serrano or habanero pepper, chopped (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place 2 Tablespoons of oil in a large pot and place the pot over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions, garlic, beef and sausage until meats are browned. Pour in the tomatoes, beer, coffee, tomato paste and broth. Season with chili powder, cumin, sugar, oregano, cayenne, coriander, and salt. Simmer 2 hours if skipping step two.
2. Optional: In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat remaining oil. Cook Serrano or Habanero peppers in oil until just tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir into the pot and simmer 2 hours.
3. Stir in remaining 2 cans of beans and cook 45 minutes more.
