Chilli

In a pinch last week I needed a  quick fix chili recipe.  A chili recipe with no strings attached.  Rachel Ray’s Down Home, Up Town version, was perfect.  Not needy like other chili.  Done in 30 minutes it’s the ‘Bootie Call’ of chili.   I used what I had in the fridge so this is my version.




Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

2 pounds ground beef

1/2 pound mushrooms, chopped

1 onion, chopped

3 legs of celery, chopped

2 bell peppers chopped

4 cloves garlic chopped

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoons of chipotle chili powder

1 tablespoon cumin

1 bottle of corona beer 

1  can black beans, drained

1 can crushed tomatoes

1 cup beef stock 

2 to 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

Grated cheese for the top.




Brown meat then transfer to a plate and return pot to stove. Reduce heat to medium- high and add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Add the mushrooms and brown them before adding the other veggies. After 2 or 3 minutes the mushrooms push the mushrooms off to one side of the pot and add all the remaining veggies. Once the onions, celery, peppers and garlic have been working for a few minutes as well, mix the veggies with the mushrooms. Add the meat, Worcestershire sauce, chipotle and cumin. Add beer to deglaze the pot. Reduce the beer by half, about 2 minutes. Add the black beans, tomatoes, stock and thyme, then simmer until flavors combine. Add salt and pepper.  Serve with grated cheese and more beer.
