Jim Brady's Bear's Goat Gap Chili

This is a fiery, award winning chili created by President Reagan's press secretary Jim Brady before he was appointed to that post in Jan 1981. Brady was critically wounded during the assassination attempt on President Reagan in March 1981.

The original Bear's Goat Gap Chili may be too hot for a mass market. Mrs. Sarah Brady suggested using only 4 or 5 jalapeno chilies, seeded and chopped, the dish will still be hot enough for most people.

And remember, as Jim Brady said, "There are no beans in chili."

Bear's Goat Gap Chili

2 pounds round steak, cut into cubes
1 pound pork, cut into cubes
3 Tablespoons fat, shortening or oil
3 medium onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic
1 (7-ounce) can jalapeno chiles, or fewer to taste, seeded and chopped
1 (2.4-ounce) container hot chili powder
1 (32-ounce) can Progresso Italian tomatoes, drained
3 bay leaves
1 Tablespoon ground cumin
1 Tablespoon ground oregano
1 Tablespoon salt
2 Tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 pint black olives, pitted and chopped
About 1 Tablespoon masa harina (corn) flour, to thicken chili
Shredded Cheddar cheese, served on top of chili

Brown steak and pork in shortening.
Add onions, garlic and jalapeno chiles.

Combine chili powder, drained tomatoes, bay leaves, cumin, oregano, salt, brown sugar, red wine vinegar and olives and stir into pot.

Cook, covered, over low heat several hours to allow flavors to mingle.

Stir occasionally.

Add masa harina (corn) flour near end of cooking time to bind chili.

Serve with shredded Cheddar cheese topping each bowl of chili.

Makes 6 servings.

This is fairly simple, but I like it and it goes together quickly.

Black and White Turkey Chili

This is really good with the mix of earthy flavored black beans and creamy white beans combined into a chili.
Adding a little dusting of chipotle chili powder to taste, if you like a little heat, really warms you up.

2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup yellow onions, diced
1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
1 pound ground turkey
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp crushed dried oregano
1/4 tsp seasoning salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes - with liquid
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/4 cup salsa verde
1 beef bouillon cube
1 (15 ounce) can black beans - with liquid
1 (15 ounce) can great northern white beans- with liquid (any type of canned white beans will work)
1 cup water

In a 3-quart saucepan, saute the onions and bell peppers in the cooking oils until the onions are golden brown.

Add ground turkey and seasonings, crumble turkey, mix well and saute until turkey is browned.

Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, salsa verde, beef bouillon, two cans of beans and 1 cup of water to saucepan.

Mix well and simmer for about 20 to 30-minutes, stirring occasionally.

I'm not good with recipes, but I'll try to explain it.

Stuffing mushrooms
Bocconcini mozzarella
Hot sopresatta
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Green onions

Put a slice of sopresatta in the mushroom (crimp the inside to fit), but keep the edges out

Put a mozzarella ball on the sopresatta

Drizzle with oil, add cracked pepper and broil until meat starts to blacken on the edges and mushroom is done

Here's my favorite part. Cut a piece of green onion 2" long, then cut it lengthwise, but not all the way through into ribbons (leave about 3/4" intact). Put the stem end into the mushroom between the meat and cheese, spread out the "leaves", drizzle lightly with balsamic. Repeat for how many you need to make.

When finished, it should look kinda like a flower, so I call it the Sicilian Rose. It's funny what a 12 pack of cheap beer and boredom can do.

This is a recipe from our Safeway Thanksgiving site. A different recipe for those looking for a non-traditional dish for the big meal. More recipes here http://www.safeway.com/IF...Thanksgiving#iframetop

Goat Cheese and Vegetable Tart with Arugula Salad
Served in larger portions, this makes an excellent vegetarian entrée or luncheon dish.

2 cups all-purpose flour
About 3/4 teaspoon salt
11 tablespoons Lucerne® butter or Safeway margarine, cut into small pieces
1 red bell pepper (about 6 oz.)
1 green bell pepper (about 6 oz.)
1 yellow bell pepper (about 6 oz.)
1 zucchini (about 4 oz.), ends trimmed
2 Roma-style tomatoes (about 1/3 lb. total)
2 1/2 cups diced eggplant (about 1/2 lb.)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup O Organics™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
1/2 cup minced fresh basil leaves
Pepper
8 ounces goat cheese, cut into 1/2-inch slices
3 large eggs
1/3 cup Lucerne® whipping cream
8 ounces arugula, rinsed, crisped, and tough stems discarded
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1.

In a bowl, mix together flour and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Add butter and, with your fingers or a pastry blender, rub or cut in until mixture forms fine crumbs. Add 3 to 5 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and stir after each addition until dough sticks together. Gather dough in your hands and knead briefly just to form a ball. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.

2.

Meanwhile stem, seed, and dice red, green, and yellow peppers. Dice zucchini. Seed tomatoes, then dice them.

3.

Combine peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, eggplant, and garlic in a 12- to 14-inch frying pan along with 1/4 cup olive oil. Stir often over medium-high heat until vegetables are softened and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in basil. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Set aside to cool slightly. (If making ahead, package airtight and chill up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before using.)

4.

When dough has chilled, unwrap it and, with your fingers, press it evenly over the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch tart pan with removable rim. Fill crust with pie weights (or dried beans) and bake in a 450° oven until rim begins to brown, about 20 minutes. Pour off the weights (or beans) and continue baking until crust bottom is lightly browned, about 10 minutes more.

5.

Fill crust with vegetable mixture. Arrange goat cheese slices on top. Beat together eggs and cream until smooth. Carefully pour over vegetables and cheese. Place filled tart pan on a baking sheet.

6.

Bake tart in a 325° oven until filling is firm when gently pressed in center and edges are lightly browned, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool slightly, then carefully remove pan rim. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cut into wedges to serve. Mix arugula with remaining oil and the lemon juice and serve a portion alongside each tart wedge.

O.K. here is my recipe that I make at least twice per month.

2-4 lbs rib eye steak de-fatted and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 large Walla Walla onions coarsely chopped
2 large bell peppers coarsely chopped

5 pods of Hatch hot Ancho chile peppers, seeded, chopped, roasted, and powdered in a coffee mill
2 TBS each Mexican oregano, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, fresh cracked black pepper, white pepper and sea salt
2 tsp fresh ground cinnamon
several dashes each Worchestershire sauce, Cholula, Basalmic vinegar, and liquid smoke

In a large stock pot, on medium high heat, add a little oil and brown the beef in batches till well browned on all sides. Pull out the beef and use the oil to cook the onions and peppers and cook till translucent. Add the garlic and cook till soft. DO NOT BURN THE GARLIC!! Add all of the dry ingredients and cook for a minute or two more. Dump in the beer and deglaze the pan. Add the rest of the wet ingredients. Reserve the water till needed. Cook this until you get the desired consistancy. Add the water as needed. You will notice that this recipe has no nasa, hominy, or other fillers. Pour over beans or pasta if you want to but do not add it into the recipe.

4t chipotle (or cayenne) chili powder
4t ground cumin
2 qt. beef broth

Pico de Gallo (recipe follows)

METHOD

6 Roma (plum) tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 C fresh cilantro, minced
1 serrano pepper, seeded and finely minced (or try using the Green Tabasco sauce)
1 t lime juice
salt and pepper to taste

Combine and chill before service.

Editorial Commentary from a Texas ego:

Let me start out by saying I've eaten a lot of different 'chilis' and many of them were pretty tasty. I just can't think of them as chili.

Notice that at no time does this recipe, or any other true chili recipe, call for the inclusion of beans or tomato products.

If necessary, good pinto beans may be served on the side.

Chili with beans, noodles, or other adulterants is chili stew or chili soup or at best a chili dish.

I have since stopped using chili powder and have started making my own. Blending and grinding dried chiles like New Mexicos, Anchos, de Arbol and others allows one to make it to exactly suit one's taste.

A bit of background...
Chili first spread as a result of visitors to San Antonio sampling the chili offered by the 'Chili Queens' in Market Square. They carried tales and recipes with them when they left, and soon the word was out. If you want to try a truly authentic chili recipe, here is one that was passed down from one of the original Chili Queens. To my knowledge it is the only one so preserved from that time. Notice all the things that aren't in it.

Chili Queen Chili
2 pounds beef, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 pound pork, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup suet
1/4 cup pork fat
3 medium onions, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 quart water
4 ancho chiles, seeds and stems removed, chopped fine
1 serrano chile, seeds and stems removed, chopped fine
6 dried red New Mexican chiles, seeds and stems removed, chopped fine
1 tablespoon cumin seeds, freshly ground
2 tablespoons Mexican oregano
Salt, to taste

Lightly flour the beef and pork cubes. Quickly cook in the suet and pork fat, stirring often. Add onions and garlic and sauté until they are tender and limp. Remove all pieces of fat. Add the water to the mixture and simmer for 1 hour.
Grind the chiles in a blender or molcajete. Add to the meat mixture. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for an additional 2 hours. Skim off any fat that rises, then serve.

I love chili; here are my two favorites.

The "quick way" is to get Wick Fowler's "Two Alarm Chili" spices and play with the ingredients to taste. I did this for years and still do when I'm in a hurry.

The "other way" is this 2003 "from scratch" recipe from Emeril; it is OMG good and is just as good the next day, week, or month out of the fridge or freezer. The only ingredient I don't add is the tequila simply because we only keep bourbon and wines in the house:

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-live/texas-style-chili-recipe/index.html

This is more for when you need supper in half an hour, but it's not bad if you keep that in mind

Nuke a pound of ground beef until the pink's all gone.
Carefully remove the blood for the dog. If you don't have a dog, send it to me.
Remove all the fat and get rid of it. One day, I'll get some lye and make soap out of it, perhaps. If the dog gets hold of it, it will make him/her EXTREMELY gassy and difficult to receive kisses of gratitude from. Never mind how I know this.
Break the beef with a stick blender while nuking some chopped onions and/or peppers for 45 seconds.
Mix your beef with your onions and/or peppers.
Add a bag of taco seasoning or whatever spices you like, and a 14 oer 15 oz. can of diced tomatoes.
Nuke the mix for one or two more minutes.
Eat.

This recipe will feed me and Big Beautiful Mich, and the dog gives us much kisses of gratitude when she finishes her portion.

Ingredients
6 ounces hot turkey Italian sausage
2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ground sirloin
2 jalapeño pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 cups Merlot or other fruity red wine
2 (28-ounce) cans Muir Glen Fire roasted tomatoes, undrained and coarsely chopped
2 (15-ounce) cans Progresso kidney beans, drained
shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Preparation
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove casings from sausage. Add sausage, onion, and the next 4 ingredients (onion through jalapeño) to pan; cook 8 minutes or until sausage and beef are browned, stirring to crumble.
Add chili powder and the next 7 ingredients (chili powder through bay leaves), and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in wine, tomatoes, and kidney beans; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Uncover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Discard the bay leaves. Sprinkle each serving with cheddar cheese.

Made this, with the following modifications:

Subbed turkey for the beef (unless I want to eat the whole batch to my head, I have to use turkey).

Used a different brand of canned tomato (but it was still fire roasted).

It definitely tastes better the next day and actually aged quite well. The merlot is just wierd--this may not be chili--it comes out more like a bourginon stew or something--tasty, but nmot what I think of when I think of chili.

Having said that, a bottle of strong beer might be a good substitute for the merlot (which was awfully sweet).

I guess I make your basic run-of-the-mill chili with beans (black, red, and dark red kidney), the only thing I may do differently is throw in a pound or two of hot chorizo when I can get my hands on it. I cook it up with the ground beef or cubed steak, garlic, onions and green peppers, then throw in tomato paste and make a thick ragu, and let it almost start to burn while stirring it around, then put the canned whole and crushed tomatoes in, then everything else, and let it simmer a few hours. Always better the next day!

REAL CINCINNATI CHILI
by Patrick W. Crabtree

1 quart water (or, substitute chicken broth/stock for Gold Star)
2 pounds ground chuck (never ground round -- too lean!)

Thanks for this. I used to have this recipe - but, it got toasted when I lost my Meal Master data base in a hard drive crash and my backup disks were corrupted.

Couple things, though - I have better luck with a very fine grind beef (i.e. 73% lean) rather than chuck grade.

What brand chilli powder do you use? They are all different and they all give a different result. I mostly use Mexene for stuff like this as Chilli Man has been changed by its new owners (Faribault Foods) and is severely lacking in all the things that makes chilli chilli.

Why would you de-fat your chicken stock? This ain't, and never will be, a heart-healthy dish. And fat carries flavour. Which is one of the reasons that I use ground beef vs ground chuck.

ENJOY!!!

I'm sort of the "Chili Emperor" around south-central Ohio and you'll find most of my chili recipes (I don't know, about 8 or 10) here:

....and here is a chili spin-off (pseudo-Mexican) that everyone around here loves. They bug me to make it all the time. Even the neighbors "drop in" when they know that I'm making this one:

My final comment is that the key to a good regular chili is partly due to using a great chili powder. Here is an outlet who use my "chili" recipes to advertise their products:

I searched for YEARS for the correct recipe for CINCINNATI CHILI -- finally, a friend whose great aunt worked at the original EMPRESS CHILI (the very first Cincy Chili restaurant!) for eons gave me the correct recipe (there's NO chocolate in Cincinnati Chili if it's made correctly!). I substituted canned chicken broth for the water and this one now tastes most closely like GOLD STAR CHILI. Home made chicken STOCK, de-fatted, makes it even better. Enjoy, my friends!

REAL CINCINNATI CHILI
by Patrick W. Crabtree

1 quart water (or, substitute chicken broth/stock for Gold Star)
2 pounds ground chuck (never ground round -- too lean!)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 large onions, chopped
1 toe fresh garlic, whole
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon table salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1/2 tablespoon cayenne (ground red) pepper
1 6-oz. can tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
3 large bay leaves, whole
2 16-oz. cans dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 jalapeno pepper, whole
2 pounds dry Cappellini or other spaghetti
few drops of olive oil for spaghetti water

1. In a large cooking pot, break up the burger into the water or stock.

2. Add all other ingredients, except for the jalapeno pepper, the beans, (and, excepting of course the spaghetti and olive oil), and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer (slow bubble is best) and continue, covered, for 3 hours, stirring often.

3. At the end of three hours, remove the garlic toes and bay leaves and add the jalapeno pepper and simmer, covered for two more hours.

4. At the end of this time, add the drained and rinsed kidney beans and simmer, covered, for one additional hour.

5. In the last hour of cooking, start the two pounds of spaghetti in several quarts of boiling water which has been salted (1 Tbsp.) and to which a few drops of olive oil has been added.

6. When Chili and Spaghetti are done, make sure Sharp Cheddar Cheese (shredded fine) and Tabasco Sauce are available at the table.

If you try to shortcut this ancient recipe (1922) by cutting back on time, or by changing/subbing ingredients, you'll be disappointed. Also, use a thick-bottomed pot over VERY low heat, covered (barely boiling) or it will scorch.

This chili can be eaten as is, over spaghetti with toppings (cheese, Tabasco, etc.), or, as the very best hot dog/coney sauce. Cincinnati Chili purists will note that the kidney beans are heated separately at all the cincy chili outlets (Skyline, Gold Star, Empress, and Dixie) and placed on top of the respective dish, IF they use beans at all. I mix mine into the chili during the final hour or so with good results. I also toss my hot dogs right into the chili for the last half-hour of cooking time.
