I'm making Chili for Michael's chili cook-off at work tomorrow! Last year I won first place (and a set of mixing spoons and candy) with this recipe! I've tweaked it a bit more. Follow along if you'd like a great chili recipe!
I can't find my recipe, but I found it online, so I'll just have to remember my notes. Here's what I've added so far:
1.5 green bell peppers
1.5 red onions
6 (tiny) jalapeños (recipe calls for 2, but these are so small I had to add more
1 heaping tablespoon minced garlic
1-2 tbsp canola oil
First, sorry that my measurements aren't exact. They used to be, but I've made this recipe so many times I just eyeball it now.
I start getting my Dutch oven hot with my oil in it. I cut up the green pepper first and add in in to begin cooking down and softening. It takes the longest. Next the red onion, then the jalapeños, then the garlic. I put the garlic in last because I don't want it over cooking while I'm cutting up other veggies. The recipe says to cook 5 minutes, but I don't watch the clock. I cook until all the veggies are my desired tenderness, and since I don't like big or all dente chunks of veggies in my chili, it's probably longer than 5 minutes. ;)
Stay tuned for the next step in just a few minutes!!
