Taylor's Texas Chili w/ Beans
I like to make this in the crock pot and let it cook on low all day, but I've adapted the recipe (and tested it) for a shorter cooking time and a stove-top option. Top chili with crumbled corn chips, shredded cheese, and chives for an especially delicious treat. Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup dry pinto beans
- 1/4 cup dry black beans
- 1/4 cup dry kidney beans or small red beans
- 1/4 cup dry white (great northern) beans
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 finely chopped medium white onion
- 1 finely chopped medium green bell pepper
- 1 12-oz can diced tomatoes and green chilies
- 4 tbsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper or red pepper
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp rubbed sage
- 1 8oz can tomato sauce
- 1 tbsp masa (corn starch) stirred into 1/8 cup cold water
Directions
- Sort and rinse beans; soak overnight in refrigerator.
- Drain soaked beans and place in crockpot or large pot.
- Add enough water to cover beans by 2 - 3 inches.
- Set crockpot to 'high' or place pot on stove on medium heat.
- Brown ground beef in skillet.
- While meat is browning, chop vegetables and drain diced tomatoes and green chilies.
- Add ground beef, vegetables, and drained diced tomatoes and green chilies to beans.
- Add chili powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, and rubbed sage to bean mixture.
- Cover loosely and simmer until beans are tender, approximately 1 - 3 hours.
- Add tomato sauce.
- Slowly stir in masa mixture.
- Simmer 15 - 20 minutes to allow sauce to thicken before serving.
