I really think my chili is superb. My husband used to think my chili was not as good as his because it had corn in it. But I persevered and kept cookin it up and now he never even wants to make his own, and when he does. Read more .. he puts corn in it! I have become a bit of a corn in my chili freak and if I end up somewhere with some corn-less chili, I try to figure out if there is any way I can politely get some corn in there. With the meat and the beans & corn, this is a double protein meal! And without the meat, the corn and beans together make it still a complete protein vegetarian dish (which is how my mother prepared it for me back in those days;) See less
Ingredients
- 1-2 lbs ground bison or ground beef or not shopping list
- 2-4 cans red kidney beans shopping list
- 1-2 onions diced shopping list
- plenty of ground cumin, like a Tbsp more or less shopping list
- Tbsp chili powder - more ot less depending on the type and how you like and what you can get away with shopping list
- butter (okay, you could sautee your onions in the beef fat and then drain, or in some kind of healthy oil, but I say butter is best - especially if you are using bison(buffalo) meat as it is so lean.) shopping list
- where was I? shopping list
- cans of fire roasted tomatoes, tomatoes with chiles, diced tomatoes, whole plum tomatoes, tomato sauce: whatever is on hand - though I always try to be sure to have fire roasted in the mix because the flavor is just right. shopping list
- A bag of frozen corn shopping list
- sour cream and cheddar cheese to top shopping list
- and more butter if you are like me. shopping list
How to make it
- so you brown your meat
- and sautee your onions as you wish
- Now, I like to "brown the cumin too, to bring out the depth of its flavor - so work that into your sautee method, being sure to not simply stew it.
- Add tomatoes and chili powder
- bring to boil, then simmer and heat long enough to infuse flavors.
- When it is good and hot and just as you want it empty in your bag of frozen corn. No need to continue cooking - it'll be just right and ready to eat!
- top with butter, fresh ground black pepper, cheese, and sour cream please!
