You are desperate for chili - a thick, rich, steamin' bowl but NOT Wolfbrand. Alas, no time to prep Keefer Ranch beef and other additives to let simmer all day long. Here is a 1 to 2 hour option.
1 lb coarse ground beef (chili grind)
1 lb ground buffalo (available at Walmart if you can believe it) or use 2 lbs of that chili grind
1 lb Jimmy Dean Regular pork sausage
1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes (Hunts)
1 package of Williams Chili Seasoning
3 or 4 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
1 c chopped onion
1/2 t habañero pepper powder (optional - more if you dare)
4 cups water with beef, chicken or tomato bouillon (add more or less to desired soupy-ness)
Get out that big chili pot
Saute onion in a little olive oil
Brown beef, buffalo, and sausage
Add chipotle, bouillon, habañero and chili seasoning mix
Simmer 1 to 2 hours, adjust liquid, skim fat, and serve with the following:
Grated cheddar cheese
Sour cream
Chopped avocados
Chopped onion
Fritos
Yummo
Sounds and looks absolutely delicious, and a good ying yang between deluxe eats with an eye to mid-week efficiency. I love bison, it really has a much richer flavor to me than beef, so I can imagine this generating a really luxuriously and rich broth. Can't wait to try, thanks for posting your secrets!
