April 2024 - Black Bean Chilli ft. The Eggscellent Challenge
A wayward soul asked me some time back if I had/did any Crockpot Recipes. At the time, I didn't, and I'm not sure if this qualifies as a 'Crockpot', but it gave me a good excuse to break the thing out, scrub all the grime/dust off and try my hand at making Chilli.
Also featuring (a bastardised/smaller version of) The Eggscellent Challenge from Regular Show, and the Cheddar Scon- sorry, Biscuits™ that I made the day before.
Recipe
500g Minced Beef, seasoned with Salt and Pepper
400g Can of Chopped Tomatoes, plus another can's worth of water
400g Can of Black Beans, drained
1/2 Onion, diced
1 Green Bell Pepper, diced
1 Small Bulb Garlic, roasted and crushed
1 Jalapeno and 1 Habanero Pepper, de-seeded, stemmed and finely chopped
2tbsp Tomato Puree
1tsp Paprika
1tsp Chilli Powder
1. Start by roasting the Garlic. Drizzle the bulb with a small amount of oil and cover with foil. Place in the oven at 180*C for 20 minutes. While the Garlic cooks you can start browning the Minced Beef.
2. Oil and heat up your Crockpot on medium-high heat and add the Beef, piecing it up with your spoon until it's all browned. Cook for another five or ten minutes, allowing all the moisture that has come off of the Beef to evaporate and the meat to singe.
3. Throw in the Green Peppers and Onions and cook for five or so minutes until the Onions are just turning translucent, then add the Spices, Jalapenos and Habaneros and cook for another two minutes.
4. At this point the Garlic should be roasted, and you can remove it from the oven. Cut the bulb down the middle and press each half with the flat end of a knife to squeeze the Garlic out. Crush the cloves up with the flat of your knife and stir the Garlic into the pot.
5. Add the tablespoon of Tomato Puree and the Black Beans and combine. Follow that up with the Chopped Tomatoes and a can's worth of water, stirring to combine fully.
6. Reduce the heat to very low, cover the pot and let it simmer low and slow for about an hour. Until most of the water has evaporated and everything has thickened up nicely. Add Salt and Pepper to taste and serve.
