Eugenia Potter's 27 Ingredient Chili Con Carn recipe image

This robust chili is a labor of love, combining tender sirloin, savory pork sausage, and hearty pinto beans in a rich, spiced tomato base. The addition of celery, mushrooms, peppers, and olives adds layers of texture and umami depth, while a touch of orange peel brightens the heavy flavors. Perfect for feeding a crowd or freezing for future meals, this dish simmers slowly to develop a deep, comforting flavor profile. It’s ideal for cold evenings, game day gatherings, or when you want a substantial, home-cooked meal that tastes even better the next day. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream to balance the heat.

Description

This robust chili is a labor of love, combining tender sirloin, savory pork sausage, and hearty pinto beans in a rich, spiced tomato base. The addition of celery, mushrooms, peppers, and olives adds layers of texture and umami depth, while a touch of orange peel brightens the heavy flavors. Perfect for feeding a crowd or freezing for future meals, this dish simmers slowly to develop a deep, comforting flavor profile. It&# 226;ÂÂs ideal for cold evenings, game day gatherings, or when you want a substantial, home-cooked meal that tastes even better the next day. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream to balance the heat.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash and drain the dry pinto beans, then soak them in plenty of cold water overnight.
  2. Drain the soaked beans and place them in a large pot; cover with fresh water and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer the beans for 2 to 3 hours, or until tender but not mushy.
  4. Drain the cooked beans and set aside.
  5. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat.
  6. Add chopped onions, minced garlic, and diced green chilies; sauté until the onions are soft and translucent.
  7. Add the chopped sirloin to the skillet and cook over moderate heat until browned.
  8. In a separate pan, brown the pork sausage; drain off excess fat.
  9. Add the cooked sausage to the meat mixture in the main skillet.
  10. Sprinkle the flour over the meat mixture and stir constantly to blend and cook out the raw flour taste.
  11. Transfer the meat and onion mixture to a large Dutch oven or 8-quart kettle.
  12. Add the cooked pinto beans, canned baked beans, whole tomatoes (crushed), celery, sliced mushrooms, chopped sweet red pepper, chopped green pepper, chopped pitted ripe olives, minced parsley, chili sauce, salt, garlic salt, black pepper, chopped cilantro, oregano, chili powder, and grated orange peel.
  13. Stir to combine all ingredients and bring the mixture just to a boil.
  14. Reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer gently for about 30 minutes to meld flavors.
  15. Skim off any excess fat that rises to the top using a cold spoon.
  16. Serve the chili hot, topped with a dollop of sour cream.
