Time 3h25m

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 pounds ground beef
1 pound Italian Sausage
1 large onion (diced)
1 bell pepper (diced)
2-15 ounce cans Diced Tomatoes (not drained)
1 6 oz can Tomato Paste (I use Contadina and fill can with water)
15-oz. can Tomato sauce
1-(14 ounce) can beef broth
2-(16 ounce) cans Brook's chili hot beans (not drained)
2-(15 ounce) cans dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup chili powder (I use McCormick Chili Powder)
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon white sugar
5 (or so) dashes Louisiana Hot Sauce (or more if you like it spicier) - Crystal's is our brand of choice
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble the ground beef and sausage into the hot pot, and cook until evenly browned. Drain off excess grease, then add the onion and bell pepper.
  • Pour in diced tomatoes and tomato paste, plus water. Pour in the kidney beans and chili beans. Season with chili powder, garlic, cumin, Louisiana Hot Sauce, salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, and sugar. Stir to blend, then cover leaving the lid cracked open a little room for steam to escape to help it thicken. Simmer over low heat for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • After 2 hours, taste, and adjust salt, pepper, and chili powder, maybe more onion powder, if necessary. The longer the chili simmers, the better it will taste. To thicken smash some of the beans on the bottom with a slotted spoon and stir, if it looks too thick add a little more water. It's that last hour the flavors really come together and you know it's ready. Remove from heat and serve.
  • To serve, ladle into bowls, and add crackers, onions, cheese, sour cream.. however you like it. Plan on Chili Mac or Frito Pie with leftovers.

WHITE CHICKEN CHILI



White Chicken Chili image

The original recipe comes from Lewis & Clark's in St. Louis. I asked them for the recipe and they gave it to me! I have modified it a little bit over the years to make it a little easier and less time consuming. This chili gets rave reviews from everyone that has tried it. I served it at Bunco one night along with another kind of soup. There was barely enough of this leftover for my husband to have one bowl! I have also found that you can put alot less cheese than the recipe calls for and it is still good - however, you can never have too much cheese! Can you? It is best to make it a day or two ahead of time and just reheat and serve. The longer it sits the better it gets! It is great on a cold night with cornbread or hot crusty bread.
