Chili with leftover Keri’s Killer Beans

Description

Chili is a great way to re-imagine the leftovers from your pot of beans.  By adding a few new ingredients, your leftover beans becomes a whole new and different bowl of comforting chili.  Make sure to taste test as you go when adding the seasonings--remember that the beans are already seasoned, so taste before adding more salt.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat a large, heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat.  Add oil to pot and swirl around.  When hot, add onion and saute, stirring frequently to make sure it does not brown.

    When translucent, about 3-4 minutes, add the smashed garlic and stir constantly for about a minute, making sure the garlic doesn't brown.

    Add ground chuck to pot and break up with a spatula.  Cook, stirring frequently and breaking up the meat so it ends up in crumbles.

    Drain off excess fat, if necessary and add the rest of the ingredients.  Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down to a gentle simmer.  

    Let simmer covered for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

    Uncover and bring the mixture back to a boil.  Stir and then bring temperature down again to a gentle simmer.  

    Let the mixture simmer until it has reduced slightly and thickens.  Taste for additional seasonings and serve with cornbread.
