ManFood Monday * Cowboy Chili

I am so excited about today’s ManFood recipe, but I can’t take credit for this unbelievably delicious chili. This is a true ManFood recipe created by a real man, ha! My friend Jordan sent this one to me a while back and it is a must try for sure. I love this chili because there are so many unique and complex flavors, but it is still so simple to make. This is the perfect recipe for casual fall entertaining.

This recipe has a few of the usual suspects and a few unique ingredients. The coffee and the beer give the chili a complex and rich flavor and the chipotles spice things up! The original recipe had spicy madras curry powder, which is a spicy curry powder with a chili flavor. I skipped it because I couldn’t find it, but I really want to give it a try.

Every great chili recipe starts with onions. Heat some oil in a pan and add in the diced onions and garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent.

Next, add in the ground beef. I use a high quality lean ground sirloin. Brown the meat for about 6-8 minutes.

To heat things up a bit, add in 2 jalapeños, stemmed, seeded and chopped.

The original recipe called for 1 roasted Hatch chile, which is a green chile grown in the Hatch Valley in New Mexico. When I made this recipe, the Hatch chiles were not available so I threw in a few cans of diced green chilies. I would totally recommend trying the Hatch chiles if you can find them.

Now add the tabasco green jalapeño sauce.

Now let’s talk spices. I used red chili powder, pepper, coffee grounds, Mexican oregano and instead of the spicy madras curry, I used hot paprika. The coffee and Mexican oregano are really bold flavors but they really add a complexity that you don’t taste in most chili recipes.

Toss all of the spices in the pot and let simmer for 1-2 minutes.

Now we are really going to spice it up! I used 2 whole cans of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. These are spicy but also really smoky and they add so much to the recipe. If you don’t want it too spicy, you could just add the adobo sauce and leave out the peppers.

Add in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste…

and then the tomato sauce.

Now to make sure this is a real ManFood recipe, we had to throw in a beer! I used 1 bottle of Shiner Bock and it was spot on. When I first read this recipe I thought about skipping the beer, but it really does make the dish!

Let’s talk toppings! We used Fritos, cheese, green onions, sour cream and yellow mustard.  Of course this is where personal preferences and creativity comes in to play, but I trusted Jordan’s recommendations and I am so glad I did- even on the mustard (but really, it’s delicious).

Enjoy!
