The Perfect Chili Recipe to Use at your Superbowl Party

It is about to be my most favourite time of the year. The Superbowl is just around the corner. Not only is there a great football game to watch, we also have a big competition to see who can make the party’s most popular dish.I have a recipe sure to be a winner. I found this easy chili recipe on cooks.com. I have one piece of advice for this recipe. Preparing the chili the night before can actually improve the flavour. First, you will save yourself a lot of time the day of the party. Second, when you reheat the chili the following day, it helps the flavours meld to their spicy best.

Ingredients:

1 sliced pepperoni stick (Try Volpi’s Gourmet Pepperoni)

10 oz. Italian sausage

1 lb. ground beef

1 onion

1 green bell pepper

2 cloves garlic

1 c. red wine

½ c. Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp. each dry mustard and celery seed

2 tsp. chili powder

6 c. fresh tomatoes

1 (15 oz.) can pinto beans

1 (15 oz.) can kidney beans

1 (15 ½ oz.) can garbanzo beans

Jalapeno chili peppers to taste

Brown cut up sausage in same pot with the pepperoni. Pour off fat from pot and set aside. Brown the ground beef; drain and set aside. Cook onion, pepper, garlic and chili pepper in pot for 2-3 minutes. Stir in wine and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer this for 10 minutes.

Stir in mustard, celery seed, chili powder, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer this for about 10 minutes.

Mash tomatoes with hands. Add to pot along with meats. Heat it until boiling, simmer for 1/2 hour covered while stirring occasionally. Put beans and their liquid into chili and stir. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover. Simmer for 1 hour.

This chili has great flavor and has just the right amount of kick to it. I like this recipe because it’s easy to find Italian sausage recipes, but it’s rare to discover a chili recipe that uses Italian meat. The best place to find Italian meats is at Volpi Foods, America’s oldest and most prestigious producer of authentic Italian meats. Their hand-crafted meats add the perfect touch of flavor to any meal!

Don’t forget to offer a variety of cheeses and oyster crackers to put in the chili. For a new twist on chili, try adding macaroni noodles. The noodles really add a completely different taste to traditional chili.

There you have it! Have a little contest. Challenge your friends to guess the “secret ingredient” in the chili. To add some competition, set aside a container of the chili as a prize for the winner. I’ll bet everyone will be surprised when they discover the spicy Italian meats you’ve added. This year’s bitter weather is no match for this hot chili. Cheer loud and proud for your NFL team with this great dish!
