How to make The Pioneer Woman Chili
Stove Top:
Step 1: In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking the meat apart as it cooks until no longer pink. When done, drain the excess grease.
Step 2: To the pot, add the garlic and tomato sauce. Continue to cook for another minute. Then, add 2 tbsp chilli powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper. Mix well, then adjust the heat to low.
Step 3: Put the lid and allow everything to simmer for about an hour, stirring often. You can add half a cup of water of the meat turned too dry after an hour.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk the masa harina with half a cup of water. Mix well, then stir this into the chilli. Then, add the drained and rinsed beans. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.
Step 5: Remove from the heat when done and serve the chilli with your desired garnishes. Enjoy!
Crock-Pot:
Step 1: In a large pot or stove-top safe crockpot, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking the meat into chunks until no longer pink. When done, drain the excess grease.
Step 2: To the pot, add the garlic and tomato sauce. Continue to cook for a minute more. Then, add 2 tbsp chilli powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper. Stir until incorporated, then transfer everything to your crockpot.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk the masa harina with half a cup of water until mixed. Stir this into the pot, then add the beans. Mix well and heat for 4 hours (or all day) on low. You can add extra masa and/or water at any point until you have reached your desired consistency.
Instant Pot:
Step 1: Add the ground beef to the Instant Pot. Set to “Saute” and cook the beef, breaking the meat into pieces as it cooks. When done, drain the excess grease.
Step 2: To the IP, add the garlic and tomato sauce. Continue to cook for another minute. Then, add 2 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper.
Step 3: In a small bowl, mix the masa harina with half a cup of water until well combined. Gently stir this into the chilli along with kidney/pinto beans. To achieve your preferred consistency, add more water and/or masa mixture.
Step 4: Put the lid on and seal the valve. Set the IP to Chili/Beans setting for 20 minutes.
Step 5: When done, release the pressure.
Step 6: Serve the chilli with your favourite garnishes. Enjoy!
