One of Cam's favorite meals of all-time.
Can't say it's mine.. but that's exactly why I call it my Man Chili!
Can't say it's mine.. but that's exactly why I call it my Man Chili!
Not the most appetizing photo I've ever taken, true, but here lies the secret ingredient
that turns chili into man chili: three different kinds of meat.
Steak strips, sausage and ground beef.
I once added bacon too, which earned me an extra kiss.
Patrick Tanner & Mikey Wayne, this recipe has your names all over it!
Here's where I sneak in some veggies. Carrots, potato, bell peppers, onion, and fresh cilantro.
You'll also need beef broth, olive oil, salt, red pepper, kidney & pinto beans.
Cover the bottom of the crockpot with olive oil. I like to then put in the meat so that it cooks thoroughly, drizzle more olive oil on top, add salt {a generous amount!}, add the chopped veggies and beans, pepper, and fresh cilantro.
Pour in the beef broth - as much as you like. I think I usually use 1-2 cups.
And then the most important part...
Red wine! Pour in a good, generous amount. Best part, forever amen.
Cook on low and have a fantastic day sans thought of making dinner later.
Shave fresh parm or my go-to cheese of late - pecorino romano - on top with some fresh cilantro.
Serve with bread and beer.
I've made this a little different each time but Cam & our friends Justin & Andy ate the entire crockpot full in one sitting last night, so... it's time to write it down & share!
Meat-lovers, enjoy!
YUM!!! That is def some man chili!!! Serve with bread and beer.... don't mind if I do! <3
ReplyDeleteOhhhh muh gaw!!! This looks soo amazing, my boyfriend would marry me in a second if I made this! Fabulous pictures too love! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWow! Three types of meat? That is totally man chili. At first I was skeptical (I thought mine was pretty manly) but yours definitely beat mine hand over fist. And great photos btw- I know you're a pro but I can never stop gushing over them.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge meat person myself but this actually looks delicious! I'll be stealing some recipes from ya when I can actually cook next semester!

The title of this post had me laughing out loud! : ) Your pictures on your blog are always so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is the type of guy that orders "meat lovers pizza" so I am pretty sure he'd love this chili. I'll need to try it sometime...athough I'd be so tempted to sneak in more veggies. :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, i still have your blog post up and Chris caught glimpse of your meat photo and was like, 'mmmm, that meat looks good!'
ReplyDeleteLOL
Mmmm... that looks delicious!!! I'm pinning it for sure!!!

Mmmm mmm!! I'm cooking this up in the kitchen right now...my fiance is salivating!! Thanks for the recommendation, looks (and smells!) so delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have been looking forward to trying this recipe for a while, but for some reason mine never thickened- did I miss an ingredient? It is definitely more of a broth- I am wondering if I out in too much beef brine or broth, but it is definitely far from chili consistency without adding flour or something - help! :)
