Chili with leftover Keri’s Killer Beans
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.
- ~4 cup Leftover beans
- 1 lb Ground Chuck
- 1 28 oz Can Crushed tomatoes
- 1 14 oz Can Diced tomatoes
- 1 Onion (diced)
- 1 clove Garlic (Smashed)
- 1-2 tsp Chili Powder
- Salt (To taste)
- Pepper (To taste)
- ~2 tbsp Olive oil
- 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.
