Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup dry wine
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans, drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
- 1 (14-ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes with jalapeno peppers and spices, undrained
- Cooking spray
- 1 pound fresh or frozen bread or pizza dough, thawed according to package directions
- 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar
- Sour cream
- Diced onion
- Diced tomato
- Diced avocado
- Shredded Cheddar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- To make the chili:*
- Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook 5 minutes, until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover and simmer 20 minutes.
- For the bread bowls: Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Place balls on prepared baking sheet, top with shredded cheese and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and when cool enough to handle, cut a small portion from the top of each ball (reserve cut-out piece for another use). Press into the center, making a bowl for the chili. Spoon in chili into the bread bowls and top with desired toppings.
Reviews
With a little tweaking this chile is awesome. Being a native New Mexican, I know my southwestern food. I ramp up the cinnamon, add one can of tomato sauce, use Hatch chiles and tomatoes rather than Rotelle (not that Rotelle isn’t good…it is). Don’t be afraid of a bit more cumin either, but don’t overdo it. I would give it 5 stars if I didn’t have to tweak. 🙂
THis was delicious chili. I added 1 large chopped onion, could’nt imagine chili without it! I also didn’t have cumin so I doubled up on the chili powder. Cooked it in the crockpot, so easy & delicious! Thanks for a great recipe!
Love it, Love it, Love it! In the crock pot minus the cinnamon, plus a lot more chili powder and salt/pepper!
This is not chili. This is dry meat and beans with a cinnamon after taste. I was very disappointed. My fiance will wat pretty much anything(even my mistakes as a newer cook that I won’t eat) and he hated it.
I was watching this episode of Quick Fix Meals one morning and thought, wow, that sounds really good. That day, I made this recipe on the stove, and it was delicious. I loved it (particularly the cinnamon, which others have said they did not like.) I made this today in the slow cooker, and I did not enjoy it at all. The flavors didn’t seem to meld together for me, they just seemed to get lost. I will definitely make it again, just not in the slow cooker.
This isnt a bad recipe, just might have to tweek it here and there. My husband didnt like the cinnamon, smell or flavor. Could omit that. I put garlic salt and a little cayenne because I didnt to the tomatoes that had jalepenos in it, just about 1/8 teaspoon depending on how hot you like it. And also a little more chili powder.
This Chili was ok, but nothing to write home about. The cinnamon gives it an intersting flavor, but the chili lacks any sort of punch.
This was my first attempt at chili from scratch, so I wasn’t really sure what to look for in a recipe. It could definitely use some tomato sauce and a bit more seasoning. Next time I’ll use two cans of kidney beans and omit the black beans. The flavors were good, but very muted. Not bad, but not excellent.
I was uncertain about the cinnamon, but after cooking in my slow cooker for 6 hours, the flavors mellowd and melded together creating a wondefully tasteful chili. I used regular stewed tomatoes and the Rotel tomatoes and it was awesome. I also used sourdough bread bowls instead of the pizza dough bowls and the sour dough was great. This was amazing chili and I will recommend it to my friends.
My family was very disappointed with this chili. It has a strong aftertaste of cinnamon. I personally didn’t think this tasted like chili at all, just browned meat with beans and cinnamon.
I am sorry to be harsh on a recipe, but we couldn’t even eat this.
