Ingredients
Chili
- 1 TBSP Extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 oz Ground beef
- 1/2 Onion finely chopped
- 1/2 TBSP Garlic minced
- 1/2 Jalapeño pepper diced (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1/2 Red bell pepper cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp Salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 7 oz Red kidney beans drained and rinsed
- 7 oz Black beans drained and rinsed
- 7 oz Fire-roasted tomatoes
- 1 cup Water
Cornbread
- 2 TBSP Butter melted
- 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Cornmeal (medium grind)
- 2 TBSP Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- pinch Salt
- 1/4 cup Milk (adjust as needed for batter consistency)
Arnold Palmer
- 12 oz Iced tea
- 12 oz Lemonade
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Slow Cooker Chili:
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes until it sizzles. Add the ground beef and cook evenly until browned, breaking it up into small pieces, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the onion, garlic, jalapeño, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until fragrant and tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the paprika, ground cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using) until well combined.
- Transfer the beef mixture into a 2-quart slow cooker and stir in the kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, and water.
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook for 4 hours on the high temperature setting (or for 6-8 hours on low). When the cooking time is up, the slow cooker should automatically switch to the "warm" setting.
Cornbread:
- Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃).
- Melt the butter for the cornbread.
- In a large bowl, measure out and add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk to combine well.
- To the dry mix, add in the melted butter, then measure out and add in the milk a little at a time while stirring. Stir until combined. Add more milk as needed to make a batter consistency, not too thick and not too watery.
- Lightly grease an appropriately sized oven-safe container with non-stick spray. Evenly scoop the batter into the greased container and place it in the oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Arnold Palmer:
- Combine equal parts iced tea and lemonade..
- Serve with ice and lemon slices if desired.
- Serve the slow cooker chili with a slice of cornbread on the side and an Arnold Palmer.
