photo by ann westOk - the temperature dipped below 70 here in Dallas. That's chili weather for me. Chili is one of my families very favorites. We eat it as a main dish and then usually a couple days later throw is on hot dog or make nachos. We also like using Buffalo because it is much more healthy that beef. Chili for us is based on individual tastes. Some people like more chili powder, more onion. You have to make it your own. I hope you enjoy this start!
buffalo black bean chili by ann west
2 lbs ground buffalo
1/3 onion diced
2 cloves garlic crushed
2 cans tomato sauce
1 large can crushed tomatoes
4-6 cans black beans (i like Goya)
1 tbls cumin
4-6 tbls chili powder - to taste
cayenne - to taste
2 bay leaves
1tbls red wine vinegar
1tbls sugar
salt and pepper to taste
chopped pickled jalapenos (optional but good)
water or light beer to thin if it is too thick - beer gives it a little depth
Brown your buffalo and drain. Saute onion and garlic add the beef and the remaining ingredients. Let simmer for 20 -30 min and adjust spices. I like to make chili in the morning, then let it cool and reheat. This seems to bring out the flavors. Serve with cheese, jalapenos and sour cream. My kids love saltine crackers but I am going to try some of Amy's yummy corn bread! enjoy.

This weeks recap on dollop and i am a celiac: A ton of great stews(vegetable, beef and chicken), rice variations(5), tacos, mac and cheese, salad dressings, chicken pasta, meatloaf, icing, banana foster. Seriously folks, it is time if you haven't already- to check out all the fun stuff over at dollop and i am a celiac. Way too good to pass up! We are eating really well these days, a little too well if you know what I mean(my jeans are getting tight!). Our husbands are digging this project too, infact I think they are both a tad spoiled. Oh no!
happy cooking, amy and ann

Janie -
so glad to hear from you. Hatch chili's are a big deal down here in texas. May be harder for you to come by. You can use the canned green chilies or some poblano chilies - cook those in a little oil first and you probably don't want to use as many.
I loved your wonderful Halloween plates - so fun.
