Une Mignardise~
Oh lala..do I LOVE this chili recipe..
I found it at Karen's~ Mignardise..her new Le Creuset pot was really pretty too..but it's the chili that had me coveting:)
I just had a feeling I would take to it instantly..because I do like sweet in meat dishes..I've always really liked the chilis we have made in the past.. but this one..is just a bit different and I know I will crave it again~
It's a keeper recipe for me.
La Recette~
From Karen's post.. Thank you!
Sweet and Spicy Chili
1/2 lb. ground pork
1 lb. ground beef (as lean or fatty as you like)
1 small onion, diced
2 Tbsps. vegetable oil
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 Tbsps. chili powder
2 Tbsps. ground cumin
2 Tbsps. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. dried thyme
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 can Guinness
2/3 cup barbecue sauce (this is where you can go spicier or sweeter)
1 can red kidney beans, drained
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil in stock pot or dutch oven. Saute onion until softened.
Add pork and beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it browns. When the meat is cooked through (no pink remaining), drain off any excess fat. Add all the rest of the ingredients.
Stir well, and simmer for an hour. Season to taste.
Trust me..if you like spicy and sweet..you will love her recipe~
I used QC Maple Syrup..Grandma's Molasses..and Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory BBQ Sauce~

~Happy New Year Monique,
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try to make chili and now I think I will, but where did you find the bbq sauce?
I live in Quebec...so manybe we shop at the same stores??
Merci,
~Ginette
Bonjour! This sauce was bought in the US..It's one of our favorites..Ricardo recommends President's Choice one.. a huge bottle..we bought it once..it could work too.. or better yet you can make your own.. I just couldn't wait.. it's at Loblaws.. in a large brown bottle..their name brand..I hope this helps..but any BBQ sauce you enjoy..is the key to liking this I think.. You can adjust the sweetness too..
ReplyDelete:) Have a great day !
Monique, there's no question that bowl of Chili would put an end to my winter blahs!
ReplyDeleteBeer, chocolate, and my own chili powder, all, play a role in my bowl of red. But, this is the first time I've seen maple syrup and molasses in Chili. Did you detect any sweetness in the soup?
Ooh this looks like just the thing to warm me up on the chilly winter nights right now! It's making me hungry!
ReplyDeleteI like sweet in my meat dishes - always add a tad of either brown or granulated sugar - seems to enhance the flavor. Tonight would be perfect for this chili (predicted 27 degrees and that is cold for Houston, Tx) Just peeked at Mignardise and really like her writings and recipes. Thanks for calling my attention to her blog and featuring her recipe.
ReplyDeleteNous aimons le chili et j'essaie souvent de nouvelles recettes. Cela est une autre bonne à essayer.
ReplyDeleteI have never made chili; my son is the expert, but this recipe sounds fantastic; maple syrup,molasses and beer, jut has to be good. I will keep this in a safe place to surprise him some day. Great photo.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Monique,
ReplyDeletechez moi ils adorent le chili et j'aime bien le mélange des ingrédients proposés dans cette recette, le tout semble succulent.
Je te souhaite une belle journée.

ReplyDeleteMerci bien for the link to Mignardise. You're the best!
PS - I linked back to you on my the Mignardise Facebook page.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe does sound so enticing with the molasses, maple syrup and BBQ sauce! We are so enjoying our bowls of warm comfort these days and I'm always looking for recommendations.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so yummy for the cold weather....I will keep it for when it cools down here.

This looks delicious and the addition of the bbq beans and sauce sounds like a great alternative to regular tomato sauce. Thanks for sharing!

It is definitely chili weather here...I'm always looking for a new recipe~ thank you :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, if I had read this earlier in the day, I would be having some tonight. The spicy and sweet flavor combination sounds fantastic. We adore chili and it is fun to have different recipes to suit the mood. We will definitely try it as it is freezing here and chili is the best.
ReplyDeleteOh, tonight would be the perfect evening to enjoy a bowl of chili. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I'll pass it along to my "chef". ;-)
ReplyDeleteStay warm ~ Sarah
Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat could be better than you, Karen and a chili recipe?! Not much. I can't wait to give this a try. We certainly have had chili weather around here. Blizzard #2 came yesterday and knocked out my phone, internet and TV. I wish I had some chili during my shoveling breaks.
ReplyDeleteOff to London tomorrow....no snow there.
Thanks for this wonderful post.
That chili looks fabulous Monique! Perfect for cold January weather! xxoo
ReplyDeleteThis chili sounds yummy! Going to make it this weekend for sure! :)
