Quick Sunday Chili

While going through my freezer I realized I had one pack of chuck left stashed at the very bottom.  I thought I grabbed them all but alas, I didn't. So, I had to think of something to do with this meat that 1. didn't take long to cook, and 2. that my kids would love to eat.  Here's what I came up with... Quick Sunday Chili.  Sunday because it was Sunday when I made it. "Quick" because it only took me one (1) hour to cook.  And, if you have made chili recipes before, you know that chili usually takes a lot longer than one hour.

Quick Sunday Chili Recipe Ingredients

2 garlic cloves minced or pressed
2 tablespoon olive oil (affiliate)
1 shallot minced
1 lb Beef chuck (cut each beef chuck piece into quarters)
2-3 tablespoon flour enough to coat the beef
2 tablespoon chili powder (affiliate)
1.5 teaspoon cumin
1 can diced tomato
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup chicken broth (affiliate)
1 can of red beans
1 can of corn
Salt and pepper to taste

Quick Sunday Chili Recipe Instructions

First, dredge the meat in the flour and set aside.

Then, add olive oil (affiliate) and garlic for 2 minutes, then add the shallot for 3 minutes.

Now, add the beef, cumin, and chili powder (affiliate) and stir. Cook for 5-10 minutes, until the meat is brown but not burned. Then, add broth, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and red beans.

Then, cook 40 minutes on low heat. Add corn and cook for 15 minutes on low.

Let it sit for 20 minutes, then serve. Add salt and pepper to taste. 

Tip: I used a terracotta sauce pan which helped keep the temperature low.  I found that it takes longer to heat up, but when it does, it stays warm for a while. If you decide to use a stainless steel or another type of saucepan, be sure the temperature remains low, or you will burn the bottom of the pan.
