With the Super Bowl just days away, we are showing you one of our favorite tailgating chili recipes! Simple, fun, and delicious! In my culinary arts program at Escoffier I learned how to take my favorite, but simple dishes and make them extra special. When making chili the first thing to do is start by browning your meat in a medium sized sauce pot. After the meat has browned add the onions, peppers, jalapeños and garlic, and sauté for around 10 minutes. Next add your spices and cook for another 2 minutes. Once all of the flavors have had a chance to cook together add all of the beans, tomatoes and the beer. Bring the chili to a boil and reduce the heat and simmer for 1-1 1/2 hours. By slow cooking the chili, it gives all of the ingredients a chance meld together and become a complex dish. Once finished, you can garnish with a big dollop of sour cream and top it with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions.

Tailgating Chili Recipe:

Ingredients:

2-3 pounds ground beef
1 pound onion, diced
1 pound red bell pepper, seeded and cut into ¼ inch pieces
1 pound green pepper, seeded and cut into ¼ inch pieces

4 garlic cloves, minced
5 tbsp chili powder
½ tbsp garlic powder
