This Shredded Beef Chili gives you all the rich flavor and tender beef that you get from slow cooking, in less than half the time! The base for this recipe comes from the Turkey Chili I featured a while back. It’s a family favorite, but I was looking to change it up a bit. Using chuck roast brought this to a whole new level of deliciousness!

For this recipe, I used our Deluxe Multi Cooker:

Pressure Cooker, Sous Vide Cooker, Slow Cooker, Yogurt Maker, and Sterilizer

Our pressure cooker offers so many ways to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort and perfect results, every time. In addition to quick cooking—fast, flavorful meals cooked up to 70% faster than other methods even from frozen—and no-fuss slow cooking so it does it thing while you’re doing yours, you can sous vide, the secret to restaurant-quality steaks, fish, and more. With sous vide, you pick the temperature, and it cooks to the exact doneness you love, every time! No more under cooked centers and overcooked outsides. After your food reaches your perfect doneness, it can stay put for up to two hours without overcooking, giving you lots of wiggle room for serving. Plus, there is a yogurt function so you can make homemade yogurt with just two ingredients and less than 5 minutes of hands-on time, and you can even sterilize bottles and utensils. All of this without ever turning on the oven!

Confident Cooking

With 16 preprogrammed settings at your fingertips, you can cook everything from meat, rice, and beans to desserts minus the guesswork. Some added features include an indicator that shows at-a-glance progress of preheating, cooking, and warming so you always know the status of what you’re making and two lid rest slots on the back so you can securely rest the lid on the Deluxe Multi Cooker instead of your counter. The steam release button is safely positioned to keep your hands away from any steam and the outside of the unit stays cool even while in use.

The BEST Turkey Chili – From Valerie’s Kitchen (Video)

Subscribe below to get emails whenever I share new recipes and tutorials!

Our family has been making this wonderful recipe for YEARS. Out of any chili, this one is our absolute favorite, and it’s also very easy to put together. I originally found this recipe over at Allrecipes, and only recently learned that the lovely lady who created this recipe has her own blog! Her name is Valerie over at From Valerie’s Kitchen, and you can learn more about her here. Now that I know about her blog, you can be sure I will check out more of her recipes. If they’re anything like this one, I’ll be thrilled!

The only things I do differently – I use ground turkey breast instead of ground turkey. Yes, it’s leaner, but the flavor is still amazing without the fat. I add more garlic and definitely extra red pepper flakes. I’ve also had this recipe as is, and it is FABULOUS – these are just personal preferences after years of making this deliciousness.

I used our 8-qt. (7.6-L) Nonstick Stock Pot, here’s some info about it below:

Butternut Squash and Chicken Chili (Video)

I had started with a recipe from Country Living, but doctored it enough that it’s not quite the same. I felt that it was way too watery to be called chili, to be honest. Also, I did not have any chili seasoning, per se, so I came up with my own version, which is pretty yummy!

For this recipe, I used my new favorite piece, the 5-Qt. Non-Stick Sauté Pan, for this recipe. Here’s a little information:

One-Pot Meal Maker

Weeknights have met their match! This 5-qt. (4.7-L) sauté pan has high walls, so it’s perfect for one-pot meals and skillet dinners for the whole family. It’s large enough to cook up to four chicken breasts at a time! The stainless-steel handle and glass lid let you easily transfer this pan from the stove top to the oven, and the helper handle gives you the support you need to avoid spills. It’s coated on the inside and outside with high-quality nonstick coatings, which helps food slide right out and makes cleanup a breeze.

5-Qt. (4.7-L) Non-Stick Sauté Pan

Enough said, let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

3 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1-pound ground chicken
1 sweet onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1.5 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
7-ounce can diced green chiles
Two (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
Two (14.5-ounce) cans diced fire-roasted tomatoes
One (28-ounce) Can San Marzano Tomatoes

Toppings

Diced onions
Sliced jalapenos
Shredded Cheddar cheese
Sour Cream

Instructions

Chop onions and garlic. Peel and cube butternut squash.

Cook ground chicken, onion, and chopped garlic cloves in olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until chicken is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.

Stir in spices and diced green chiles; cook 1 minute. Stir in black beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, San Marzano tomatoes, butternut squash, and chicken stock. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Simmer, covered, until butternut squash is tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

That’s it! You can save time if you like by purchasing pre-cut squash, if you like. My picky husband really loves this recipe, so we will be making this again.

5-Qt. (4.7-L) Non-Stick Sauté Pan Everything Taco Seasoning

This is such an easy recipe, let’s jump right in!!

Ingredients

Casserole

1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 lb. (450 g) lean ground beef
1 tbsp (15 mL) Everything Taco Seasoning
1 can (15 oz./398 mL) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 oz./425 g) tomato sauce
2½ cups (625 mL) low-sodium beef broth
1 cup (250 mL) milk
8 oz. (250 g) macaroni

Toppings

2 cups (500 mL) tortilla chips, coarsely crushed
8 oz. (250 g) cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (2 cups/500 mL), divided
3 tsp (15 mL) Everything Taco Seasoning, divided
¼ cup (60 mL) sour cream
1 tbsp (15 mL) milk
2 tbsp (30 mL) cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, plus additional for garnishing (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Dice onion and pepper.

Heat the oil in the 5-Qt. (4.7-L) Non-Stick Sauté Pan over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add the onion and pepper and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Add the ground beef to the pan, breaking it into chunks. Add the seasoning and continue cooking until the beef is no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes.

Stir in the black beans, tomato sauce, beef broth, and milk. Bring to a simmer and stir in the pasta. Simmer, uncovered, over medium heat until the pasta is tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. (If the pasta isn’t tender, add more beef broth or water and continue cooking). NOTE: I actually added the seasoning late, lol. It still turned out great!

Meanwhile, combine the crushed tortilla chips, 1 cup (250 mL) of the cheese, and 2 tsp (10 mL) of the seasoning; set aside.

In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, milk, and remaining 1 tsp (5 mL) of the seasoning; set aside.

Once the pasta is cooked, mix in the remaining cheese. Top with the tortilla chip mixture and bake, uncovered, for 6–8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Right before serving, drizzle with the sour cream mixture and top with cilantro, if you’d like.

That’s it! Such an easy and delicious recipe, please let me know if you give this a try. Let’s make great food together!

Short Rib Chili – Midwest Foodie aka Comfort Food At Its Best! (Video)

This January, I wanted to focus on comfort food. Especially as it seems that we all might again be inside a lot due to illness. Next month, I might focus on something else, but this month I need food that’s warm, sticks to your belly and is just plain delicious.

I love chili, and was looking for something different from my usual ground meat staple. I found this short rib chili recipe from Kylie over at Midwest Foodie Blog. You can read more about Kylie here.

My video is a bit longer than what I normally produce, but this recipe actually pulls together quite easily. It is absolutely delicious, and will definitely be on my rotation of family dinners. I’m looking forward to exploring her blog for even more scrumptious recipes. Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1.5 lb beef short ribs
1 red onion
1 green pepper
5 cloves garlic
1 jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed,
2 tablespoons chili powder,
1 tablespoon cumin
2-3 tsp chiles in adobo
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp cocoa powder
1 tsp granulated sugar
1(15 oz) can black beans drained and rinsed
1 (15 oz) can pinto beans drained and rinsed
1 (15 oz) can kidney beans drained and rinsed
1(15 oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 (28 oz) can San Marzano tomatoes (or tomato sauce)
1-2 cups tomato juice
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt
Black pepper

Products I used to prepare this recipe:

6-qt. Enameled Dutch Oven

5″ Santoku Knife

Measuring Spoon Set

Mix ‘N Scraper

Scoop & Serve Spatula

Manual Food Processor On sale this month only!!!

Cutting Board

Large Chef’s Tongs

3-Cup Prep Bowl Set

Small Stoneware Serving Bowl Set

Directions

Dice green pepper. A great tip I learned was to turn the pepper upside down and slice it that way, so that you can avoid all the seeds!

Next, dice your jalapeno. If you like the heat, you can leave some seeds. Otherwise, just remove all of the seeds first.

Chop your red onion.

Peel and then chop five cloves garlic.

Season short ribs with salt and pepper. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium high heat, then sear short ribs on all sides until they are nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove short ribs and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium, add red onion and green pepper A little salt and pepper if you like. Saute for 5 minutes.

Add and garlic and jalapeno, saute for one more minute.

Next, add in The rest of the ingredients except the apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine.

Add the short ribs back in, turn the heat up and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer over low heat for 2.5-3 hours, until the short ribs are very very tender.

Remove and shred the meat, then add it back to the chili.

Add in the apple cider vinegar, stirring to incorporate.

That’s it! Serve with whatever your favorite toppings are, and enjoy! Please leave me a comment to let me know if you make this recipe, and please be sure to visit Kylie at her blog here.
