Ladies and gents, it’s football season. This requires 2 things: a TV and chili. I have made many chili recipes, each one different than the last. This one, however, is the only recipe I’ll ever use again. I wouldn’t have thought to incorporate peanut butter into chili except that there is a widespread tradition amongst some people to serve peanut butter with chili, either on crackers or peanut butter sandwiches. I’ve had several people tell me that no chili could beat their recipe, yet every time they reluctantly admitted that mine was better. Last year for the Super Bowl, each of our guests said it was the best chili they’ve ever had. And if you read some of the comments below, people have entered this recipe into chili cook-offs and won! At this point, you shouldn’t need any more convincing – make this chili now. I’ve also got more great Super Bowl recipes below.

Ingredients: Print 1 onion, chopped

12 cloves garlic, minced

1 lb ground beef

1 lb ground turkey

2 (28oz) can crushed tomatoes

1 (12oz) jar salsa

1 (15oz) cans black beans, undrained

1 (15oz) can white hominy, drained (preferably Juanita’s)

1 (15oz) can red kidney beans, drained

1 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 cup frozen sweet corn

1/4 cup chili powder

4 tsp cumin

2 tsp paprika

1 1/2 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp chipotle chili powder (or chili powder)

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (more or less, to taste)

1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste

Dash of cinnamon

Toppings:

cheddar cheese, shredded

avocado, sliced

scallions, sliced

black olives, sliced

cilantro, chopped

sour cream

hot sauce

homemade tortilla chips

Directions: 1. Add some olive oil to a very large pot and cook onions and garlic over medium-high heat until onions are translucent. Add ground beef and turkey and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain fat from bottom of the pot. 2a. If using a slow cooker, add everything to the slow cooker, stir well and cook on low for 6+ hours. You may want to break “crockpot standards” and stir once or twice throughout the cook time, since this thick chili can burn a little bit on the sides (however, the burnt bits are pretty tasty). 2b. If using stovetop, return the pot to the burner and add everything. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally. 3. Makes about 16 large servings but freezes well, so stock up! Customize as desired:
