! Chili con Carne by Amy Wisniewski Difficulty: Easy | Total Time: 25 mins | Makes: 8 to 10 servings (about 2 quarts) Chili con carne is one of those dishes with as many variations as there are minutes in the day. Our slightly spicy, subtly smoky version keeps it simple but is still full of flavor and packed with enough meat to make Dr. Atkins proud. What to buy: Ancho chiles are commonly used in Tex-Mex cooking; ancho chile powder can be found in most gourmet grocery stores and Latin markets. If you’re having a hard time finding it, you can substitute regular chili powder, but check the ingredients, because many brands have salt and garlic added and will therefore change the flavor of the dish. Chipotles are dried, smoked jalapeño peppers. We call for the canned variety, chipotles en adobo, packed in a spiced tomato sauce. Look for them in the Latin section of your supermarket. Game plan: Like all stews, the flavors develop as this dish sits, so go ahead and make it up to 2 days ahead of time and rewarm it to serve. This recipe was featured as part of our Super Bowl for a Crowd menu, as well as our 2009 Presidential Inauguration Menu. INGREDIENTS 3 pounds lean ground beef 2 medium white onions, coarsely chopped 8 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped 1/4 cup ground ancho chile powder 2 teaspoons ground cumin powder 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can puréed tomatoes 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with their juices 2 chipotles en adobo, finely chopped 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt INSTRUCTIONS 1. Heat a Dutch oven or large, heavy-bottomed pot with a tightfitting lid over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the meat, onions, garlic, ancho chile powder, and cumin powder and stir to combine and break the meat into small pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is well browned with no pink remaining, about 10 minutes. 2. Stir in the tomatoes with juices, chipotles, and salt and reduce the heat to medium. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Season with freshly ground black pepper and more salt as needed. Beverage pairing: Valduero Rosado, Spain. Spanish rosés often have a nice earthiness, which is key for a dish loaded with cumin and chiles. This wine throws gentle red-berry fruit into the mix. Its lightness counteracts some of the weightiness of the ground meat. SOURCE: https://www.chowhound.com/recipes/chili-con-carne-11372 © CBS Interactive. All Rights Reserved.

America’s great Southwest was born of many cultures, and a meal there reflects the diverse influences (and languages) of Native Americans, Mexicans, Spanish explorers, and herds of cow- boys, all of whom played vital roles in defining and redefining what is perhaps the most unique part of the United States. While Texas takes its culinary cues from the cowboy, neighboring Mexico, and some honest- to-goodness “Chili Queens,” Arizona menus are often inspired by both desert and mountains, an abundance of locally grown produce, and nearby California. New Mexican food is a genre all its own, neither Tex-Mex nor Mexican, but a slowly achieves high pop culture status as the aptly named Frito pie. evolved fusion of Native American recipes, The tales of how chili was created are as varied as its ingredients from regional ingredients, and south-of-the-border tra- cook to cook.

Moving to San Antonio he secured the "Eagle Brand" registration for his chili powder in 1896, one ol the oldest continuous trade marks in the United States. The Mexican lood industry was born when Mr. Gebhardt first ground and blended the Ancho chili pepper along with black pepper, comino, oreqano, garlic and otherspices into chili powder. lt isthe largest selling brand ol chili powder in the world today. The Mexican foods made by Gebhardt today have existed in Mexico and the Southwest for centuries. They reflect the influence of the Aztecs, Maya, Spanish and during the reign of Maximilian and Carlotta, French cuisine. The one dish whose origin remains in doubt and upon which there has been much speculation is Chili Con Carne. 0ne of the more believable stories has it that Chili was created in the quaint little village ol La Villita near the Alamo. Native women would prepare Ghili in their homes and at su ndown take it to one of the plazas of San Antonio. Spreading red table cloths on the ground, they would serve their Chili in handmade earlhen dishes. They became known as "Chili Queens" and prevailed until the mid 1940's.

Charles Ramsdell, a writer from San Antonio in an article called San Antonio: An Historical and Pictorial Guide, wrote: "Chili, as we know it in the U.S., cannot be found in Mexico today except in a few spots which cater to tourists. If chili had come from Mexico, it would still be there. For Mexicans, especially those of Indian ancestry, do not change their culinary customs from one generation, or even from one century, to another." If there is any doubt about what the Mexicans think about chili, the Diccionario de Mejicanismos, published in 1959, defines chili con carne as (roughly translated): “detestable food passing itself off as Mexican, sold in the U.S. from Texas to New York.” Check out Linda's Chili Con Carne Recipe.
