What kind of meals can you prepare with Chili?

Question

I am tired of the traditional mexican type of dishes. What are some clever dishes you've cooked up with Chili?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can make Cincinnati Chili which is served on pasta. Here is my favorite recipe:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 pounds ground beef

1/4 cup chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1 bay leaf

1/2 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate

2 (10.5 ounce) cans beef broth

1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 6 minutes.

Add beef, in batches if necessary, and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned.

Add chili powder, cinnamon, cumin, allspice, cloves, bay leaf, chocolate, beef broth, tomato sauce, cider vinegar, and red pepper. Stir to mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.

It is the best if you now refrigerate overnight.

Remove the bay leaf. Reheat gently over medium heat. Serve over hot, drained spaghetti. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and onion.

Answer 4

You can mix it with cooked pasta  OR

Make Shepherd's Pie:

Place the chili in the bottom of an oven-proof baking dish, add a layer of peas & carrots (or a veggie of your choice), top with mashed potatoes, add some dabs of butter on top of the mashed potatoes and bake @ 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until the mashed potatoes start to get lightly browned in spots.  You can also add a layer of shredded cheddar or jack cheese between the chili and the veggies.

Heat up the chili and serve inside of large baked potatoes that you split open with a fork.  You can also top it with your choice(s) of shredded cheese, chopped green onions, bacon bits, sour cream, guacamole, etc... be creative.....

Answer 5

Chili mac.  Heat the chili as you cook elbow macaroni.  Combine the drained macaroni with the chili in the pan, and heat the two.  Add American or cheddar cheese and allow the cheese to melt.

Chili dogs or chili burgers.  Cook the pattie or frank, put on a bun, and add heated chili over the top.  Cheese is optional.

Answer 9

Chili and dumplings.

Use corn (masa) flour in a standard biscuit recipe.

When the chili is done, spoon the batter on top until covered and toss it in a 350 oven until golden brown on top.
