The other day I had the sudden need to cook chili on an especially cold day. Made it with what I had lying around, including store bought seasoning mix. Ended up being quite good for something I completely freestyled. Here is the recipe.
Ingredients:
1 lb round steak, 3/4 inch cubes
1/4 lb pork loin, small chunks
1 lb raw Mexican chorizo, casings removed
1 package Carroll Shelby's chili kit.
2 14 oz cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed.
2 jalapenos, seeds and ribs removed, minced.
2 habanero chilies, sliced in half, stems, seeds, and cores removed.
1 cup beef broth
1-2 tsp paprika
1-2 tsp brown sugar
Canola oil
Directions:
Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a cauldron.
Brown up the steak and pork loin in batches, removing to a bowl and setting aside.
Fry up the chorizo, breaking it up into bite size pieces.
Add the masa flour from the chili kit and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot.
Return the steak and pork to the pot. Add in the seasoning mix from the chili kit, the paprika, and the jalapenos, and stir well.
Cook for a few minutes, stirring and scraping.
Pour in the beef broth and mix well.
Add the habanero chile halves.
Cover and simmer on low for 1 hour.
Add a bit more beef broth if it gets too dry.
Remove the habanero chile halves.
Add in the beans and brown sugar and simmer another 20 minutes.
Serve with cornbread, oyster crackers, or whatever else.
bon appetit
