CHILI CON CARNE WITH CHILI CHEDDAR SHORTCAKES
For the shortcake biscuits
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/4 pound sharp Cheddar, grated coarse (about 1 1/2 cups)
four 2-inch pickled jalapeño chilies, seeded and minced (wear rubber gloves)
1 cup sour cream
For the chili con carne
2 large onions, chopped (about 3 cups)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 carrots, sliced thin
3 pounds boneless beef chuck, ground coarse in batches in a food processor or by the butcher
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon crumbled dried orégano
1 tablespoon dried hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
two 8-ounce cans tomato sauce
1 1/4 cups beef broth
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
a 19-ounce can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 green bell peppers, chopped
Make the shortcake biscuits
Into a bowl sift together the flour, the baking powder, the baking soda, and the salt, add the butter, and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Stir in the Cheddar and the chilies, add the sour cream, and stir the mixture until it just forms a soft but not sticky dough. Knead the dough gently 6 times on a lightly floured surface, roll or pat it out 1/2 inch thick, and with a 3 1/2-inch cookie cutter cut out 6 rounds. Bake the rounds on an ungreased baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 15 to 17 minutes, or until they are golden.
Make the chili con carne
In a kettle cook the onions in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are softened, add the garlic and the carrots, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the chuck and cook it over moderate heat, stirring and breaking up any lumps, for 10 minutes, or until it is no longer pink. Add the chili powder, the cumin, the paprika, the orégano, and the red pepper flakes and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the tomato sauce, the broth, and the vinegar, bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer it, covered, stirring occasionally, for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the meat is tender. Add the kidney beans, the bell peppers, and salt and black pepper to taste and simmer the mixture, uncovered, for 15 minutes, or until the bell peppers are tender.
Arrange a biscuit, heated and split, on each of the 6 dinner plates, spoon the chili con carne over the bottom half, and cover it with the top half of the biscuit.
Serves 6.

Funny you should ask. I'm making a pot as I post this.
I do it the easy way.
1 pkg Caroll Shelby's Brown Bag chili seasonings.
1/2 lb chorizo
1 lb ground round
1 15 1/2 oz can pinto beans
1 15 1/2 oz can Bush's spicy chili beans
1 Lg can of whole tomatoes
1 Lg can Tomato sauce
1 Really big purple onion diced large
2 C water
Brown your beef in a dutch oven and drain (there won't be much to drain)
Add the chorizo and combine with the beef.
Add all the canned ingredients and the water
Add diced onion (if you want you can add green & red peppers too)
Sprinkle the contents of the large spice pack from the brown bag
and stir it into the pot.
You can add the cayenne now too.
Now bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour stir every few minutes or so.
When it is done, Take the bag of masa flour (even if the chili does not need too much thickening) add some of the flour to an equal amount of water and stir into chili.(there's something about the flavor it adds)
Now you are done.
I love to serve this over Home made Tamales.

Chili recipe is available in all the world cuisines to quench the thirst of the spicy food lovers around the world. The chilli recipe is more often used in the winter and rainy days as the body demands more heat from us. Chilli recipes exists in the culinary history long back with the invention of chili. Chili recipes are best accompanied with non spicy food items or milk sweet food items like rice, Indian bread (roti), plain bread, noodles, vegetable salads or crispy chips.

Tomato sauce, tomato paste, stewed tomatoes, sugar, chili or kidney beans, chili powder, water, browned & drained ground beef, chopped onions, chopped bell pepper, seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Simmer on low for a couple hours until done.
(Sometimes I even use a can of Manwich sauce. The sauce used for sloppy joes)

I'm actually a big fan of regular-old-chili, BUT
I found to make it a little different........ In addition to the normal ground beef, kidney beans, onions and tomato sauce, mixing in some other types of beans can make it seem new. I like some white canallini beans mixed with the kidneys. You also can use Black beans, or pink beans. Then try to shred different cheeses on top to serve. Like a pepper-jack, Munster, or provolone.
But I've tried the other "varieties" of chili with different meats or "fru-fru" gourmet spins and I always go back to time-tested chili.
Good Luck experimenting!

hamburger, diced tomatoes, salsa, cayenne, cumin ( a smidge) kidney beans, both dark and light, onion, salt and pepper and a can of beer. Brown the meat and onions, add spices, I forgot to say garlic, add beans and tomatoes. I add mild salsa but add to your own taste and I generally use a whole jar. Add beer last and let simmer.
