Hot Pants Chili
This legendary award-winning Hot Pants Chili is a spicy, bean-free Texas-style chili with ground beef, mole paste, and masa flour for incredible depth of flavor. Slow-simmered to perfection.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef 85/15 lean
- 2 white onions diced
- 2 large jalapeños seeded
- 1 can crushed tomatoes 15 oz
- 4 cups unsalted beef stock
- 1 envelope chili seasoning mix
- 3 tablespoons masa flour
- 3 tablespoons mole paste
- 1½ teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 bottle beer 12 oz
Instructions
- Start by browning the ground beef in a big pot. Throw in the onions and jalapeños and cook until they're soft.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef stock, beer, and all your spices. Mix the masa flour with a little water to make a paste, then add it along with the mole paste.
- Let the whole thing simmer for 2-3 hours until it's nice and thick. The longer it cooks, the better it gets.
Notes
Serve Hot Pants Chili with cornbread, baked potatoes, or over rice. Top with cheese, sour cream, and green onions.
