Homemade Ground Beef Chili Recipe (video)
Our recipe this week is a simplified version of our chili recipe that uses ground beef instead of a roast that we cut up and seared. It's a much easier recipe, and the end result is a really rich and delicious chili that is a perfect replacement for canned chili anywhere you might use canned chili. This is the same recipe we used for our frito pie recipe a few weeks ago. Best bet is to make a great big batch of this, and freeze it in smaller containers to bring out whenever you need a serving of chili for something.
Flavour-wise, it's the simple basic chili flavour profile. Chilies (including a dried chipotle for that smoky aroma), garlic, oregano, and cumin. You can add more or fewer peppers to this if you wish to make it hotter or milder. Also, have fun with your deglazing liquid once the beef is done. We used mezcal, which turned out quite delicious with a lovely savoury aroma, but you could use vermouth, red wine, or stock to maximize flavours. Also, if you don't have fresh oregano, you can definitely used dried for this recipe. You'd want to use a little less, and add it either around the same time, or possibly a bit later, depending on the impact you want it to have.
