Its starting to get chilly out, make this Cold-Weather Chili Recipe for dinner tonight! #FGNO Ingredients 2 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more as needed 3 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 3/4-inch pieces Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 2 large onions, chopped 8 cloves garlic, chopped 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons chili powder 1 teaspoon dried oregano 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 28 -ounce can whole plum tomatoes, coarsely crushed with your hands 1 3/4 cups low-sodium beef broth 1/3 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee 2 15 -ounce cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed Shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and/or diced avocado, for topping Directions Heat 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Pat the beef dry and season with salt and pepper. Brown in batches, about 4 minutes, adding more oil as needed. Transfer to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to the pot. Add the onions and garlic; cook, stirring, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add 1/3 cup chili powder, the oregano and tomato paste; cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Return the meat to the pot and stir in the tomatoes with their juices, broth, espresso and pinto beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the beef is tender, about 2 hours. Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons chili powder into the chili. Divide among bowls. Top with cheese, sour cream and/or avocado. Hot: This base recipe is relatively tame; a last-minute hit of chili powder adds just a touch of heat. Hotter: Add 5 crumbled dried arbol chiles to the pot with the tomato paste, then continue as directed. Hottest: Add 5 crumbled dried arbol chiles with the tomato paste and continue as directed, omitting the beans. Stir in 1 cup chopped pickled jalapenos before serving.
