#CookingWithRum: Black Rum Chili
By @eliizzyv
We are back with another #CookingWithRum recipe!
If you don’t know by now, we love to eat our rum as much as we love to drink it (#TeamDarknStormy!). Now that the weather has cooled a bit, it is time to pull out my favorite culinary concoction- my crock pot! A crock pot aka slow cooker is an amazing tool to have in your kitchen in the winter months for all of your soups, stews and pretty much anything! Take a stroll on Pinterest (we LOVE Pinterest) and you find thousands of recipes that use slow cookers as the sole tool. For this #CookingWithRum recipe, we made chili.
This chili recipe is super easy to make. All you need to do is prep a couple of ingredients, throw everything into your crock pot and leave it! SIMPLE! Here is what you’ll need:
INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb of ground beef or turkey
- 1 can of black beans
- 2 cans of crushed or diced tomatoes
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper diced
- 3 cloves of garlic minced
- ¼ cup of Goslings Black Seal Rum
- 1 packet of chili seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon of flour (used to thicken)
DIRECTIONS
- Sauté onions and garlic until tender- add ground beef or turkey and cook until brown. Doing this before adding the meat to the crock pot gives your chili lots of flavour so don’t skip it!
- Once meat mixture is browned, add to crock pot. Then add a can of beans with the liquid, tomatoes, diced jalapeno and chili seasoning. If you like spicy foods leave the seeds in- if not make sure you remove them!
- Mix the chili mixture until it’s all combined- add the rum!
- Set the crock pot on high and let it do its thing for about 4 hours. Keep checking it and stir as time goes along. If you prefer a thicker chili, add 1 tbsp of flour about 3 hours into cooking time. This will give you a rich and thickened chili!Serve warm with a big chunk of sweet cornbread!
** NOTE- if you don’t own a crock pot you could definitely make this recipe in a regular pot on your stove! Just let the mixture simmer for an hour an you’ll get the same dish!
