This flavourful Texas Chili Recipe is made with tender chunks of beef, plenty of spicy seasoning, and no beans! It makes an easy dinner and is perfect for entertaining, for Game Day, or for cozy evenings with the Family.

Texas Chili Recipe

FAQ’s About Making Texas Chili Recipe:

What is the Difference Between Texas Chili and Regular Chili? – Texas Chili is made without Beans and uses stew beef instead of ground beef. It’s designed to let the flavours of beef and peppers prevail, and only uses stew beef, peppers and chili sauce.

When Should I Make Texas Chili? Texas Chili is perfect for game day, tailgate parties, cookouts and crockpots!

Can I Make a Homemade Chili Sauce Instead of Using a Store Bought One? – Yes, you can make your own chili sauce. The best peppers to use are sweet dried chiles like costeño, New Mexico, or choricero, hot dried chiles such as arbol, ancho, mulatto, ñegro, or pasilla. These peppers make a delicious chili sauce but they can be hard to find depending on where you live.

What Do You Serve Texas Chili With? – Serve the rich and flavourful chili alone or with tortilla chips, chopped cilantro, sour cream and shredded cheddar.

Texas Chili Recipe

How Do You Make Texas Chili?

To make this delicious Tex Mex Chili: (See recipe card below for full printable recipe)

Step 1: In a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat, add the oil, then the beef to the pan. Cover the beef with the cumin, chili powder and salt and pepper. Stir the beef until it’s well coated in the spice, then brown until nice and seared and mostly cooked through.

Step 2: Chop up, then add the onion to the pan with the beef. Next mince the garlic and add it along with the onion. Let cook for a minute or 2 or until the onion is softened.

Step 3: Add the beef broth to the pan and stir well. Let simmer for 4 -5 minutes, then chop the jalapeños into 1/2 inch pieces and add them to the chili. (for considerably less heat, remove the ribs and seeds)

Step 4: Add the chilli sauce to the pan. (if your pan is too small, transfer to a pot or slow cooker before adding the chili sauce) Stir until the sauce is fully incorporated into the chili.  Then stir in the brown sugar.

Step 5: Simmer, uncovered, for 1 to 1 ½ hours stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick. If it becomes too thick, add more stock as needed. Serve with tortilla chips, sour cream and shredded cheddar.

Texas Chili Recipe

Recipe Notes For Making The Best Texas Chili:

  • Leftovers will keep about 4-5 days in the fridge and easily reheat on the stove top or in the microwave.
  • This chili freezes perfectly. Once cooled, pack it into freezer containers or freezer bags. It will keep for up to four months.
  • Remove the ribs and seeds from the jalapeños unless you like your chili extra spicy. I recommend removing most of the ribs and seeds from the jalapeño peppers. That way you get their wonderful flavour and a just little bit of heat.
  • I find that 1 teaspoon of salt is perfect BUT if you are sensitive to salt, then I recommend starting with less and adding to taste.
  • This recipe can be made in the crockpot/ slow cooker. Transfer the chili to the crockpot after you’ve added all the ingredients, then let simmer on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 hours.
  • Using bottled chili sauce. I live in a rural area, where most of the chilis aren’t easily available. I prefer to use a pre made chili sauce for that reason. Feel free to use a homemade chili sauce or another brand if preferred.

  • Frozen spinach will work for this recipe. You need to thaw the spinach then squeeze out most of the liquid before adding it to the pasta.

How Do You Make Shortcut Baked Beans?

Step 3: Add the cans of baked beans to the pan, along with the molasses, ketchup, brown sugar and salt. Chop up and add 2/3 of the bacon to pan. Mix until fully combined, then let simmer for 4-5 minutes.

Step 4: Grease a casserole dish then add the beans to dish. Cover the beans with the remaining cooked bacon, then cover the pan with a lid or tin foil. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes. Let the homemade baked beans rest out of the oven for 10 minutes before serving.

Recipe Notes For Making The Best Shortcut Baked Beans:

  • Most baked bean recipes instruct you to use dried beans, which take hours to cook in the oven. As much as I love traditional baked beans, I prefer using canned beans as a shortcut when making this recipe.
  • Leftovers can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Baked beans can be frozen for up to two months. Just be sure to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating as directed above.
  • Are canned brown beans gluten free? Many brands of canned brown beans are gluten free, including Heinz Baked Beans, which is the brand I typically use. Since all of the other ingredients are gluten free, you can safely make this recipe for anyone with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
  • I prefer to use maple flavoured beans. You can use any type of canned bean for this recipe. If you’re using a regular type of canned bean, you may want to just a bit more brown sugar. Since the maple beans are already sweet I used less sugar.
  • Make ahead. The beans can be assembled up to two days ahead of time.  Refrigerate covered until needed.
  • In a rush, you could skip baking the beans and just continue cooking them in the frying pan for a few extra minutes. Top with remaining bacon before serving.

Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Sausage

June 14, 2023 by officially gluten free Leave a Comment

This Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Sausage is the perfect dinner for busy weeknights! It’s a quick and easy delicious meal that your family will rave about. Cajun seasoned shrimp and sausage are combined with bell peppers, onion and mushrooms, then smothered in a creamy sauce full of bold flavours. 

Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Sausage

Questions about Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Sausage:

Is this creamy cajun shrimp and sausage recipe low carb or keto? – Yes, it can be made keto and low carb by using a lower carb tomato sauce. Everything else in the recipe is gluten free and keto approved.

What should I serve the creamy cajun shrimp and sausage with? – I love this dish served with Jasmin rice. It’s also perfect with your favourite pasta and can be made low carb/ keto by serving with cauliflower rice or zoodles / zucchini noodles.

Do I have to pre cook the sausages on the bbq before adding them to the frying pan? – No, you can cook the sausages in the frying pan without pre cooking if you prefer. I precook them because it removes a lot of the grease and makes the sausage crispier, which I prefer.

Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe? – Using frozen shrimp is a great option! To cook the shrimp properly, you will need to let it completely thaw before adding it to the pan. If you are in a rush and need to speed up the thawing process, you can run the shrimp under cool water until thawed.

What can I use if I can’t find Cajun seasoning? – Cajun seasoning is usually a combination of paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt and pepper.

Do I have to use hot Italian sausage? – Any type of sausage will work for this recipe. Use Mild Italian or andouille sausage if preferred.

Is creamy cajun shrimp and sausage the same thing as jambalaya? – They aren’t the same but they are similar in taste. Jambalaya had a rich flavour profile and is made in one pot with the uncooked rice in the pot along with the rest of the ingredients. Creamy cajun shrimp and sausage is a more simple dish made with the rice on the side. They’re both very delicious.

Recipe Notes for Making the Best Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Sausage:

  • Any type of sausage will work for this recipe. Use Mild Italian or andouille sausage if preferred.
  • You can skip barbecuing the sausage and just fry the cut sausage in the pan from raw. You’ll need to cook it for longer than the recipe states. Pre cooking the sausage in the oven is also an option.
  • I love this dish served with Jasmin rice. It’s also perfect with your favourite pasta and can be made keto by using a lower carb tomato sauce and serving with cauliflower rice or zoodles.
  • Don’t overcook the shrimp. Shrimp is quick cooking and only needs two to three minutes of cook time before it is ready to eat. Once it has turned translucent, the shrimp should be ready to eat!
  • Add more or less of the Cajun seasoning depending on how spicy you prefer your food, so you can be sure to please even your picky eaters!
  • I used a orange bell pepper for this dish. Red and yellow bell peppers are equally as good. So feel free to use which ever pepper is your favourite.

Jalapeño Popper Corn Salad

May 24, 2023 by officially gluten free Leave a Comment

This Delicious Jalapeño Popper Corn Salad is made with fresh grilled corn on the cob, bacon, jalapeños and cheddar cheese in a creamy summer salad. Grilled fresh corn is the perfect summertime food and this Jalapeño Popper Grilled Corn Salad Recipe is a new fun twist on a longtime favourite!

  • Roasted corn has a fantastic flavour, which is why it’s perfect for this salad. While you can use cooked frozen or canned corn, the extra step of roasting a whole ear of corn then removing the kernels is worth it.

Jalapeño Popper Corn Salad

Recipe Notes For Making The Best Jalapeño Popper Corn Salad

  • This recipe is very adaptable. Use mozzarella or pepper jack cheese instead of the cheddar cheese or leave the cheese out altogether. It can also be made vegetarian, if you exclude the bacon.
  • Instead of grilling the corn, boil or steam it or use canned corn or frozen corn that has been cooked.
  • To make a lower fat version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and reduced-fat cream cheese and light mayo.
  • To prepare the jalapeños, cut the jalapeños into 1/4-inch slices. Trim the tail end and the stem; you can discard those. Next, you have a choice. You can remove the seeds or leave them in. The seeds, and inner membranes, hold the most heat, so removing those can be a way to adjust the heat level. Be careful what you touch with your hands.  If you happen to touch your eyes after chopping jalapeños, it will be quite uncomfortable! If you’re worried, you can always use gloves and eliminate the risk.

Smash Burger Tacos

May 17, 2023 by officially gluten free Leave a Comment

 These Irresistible Smash Burger Tacos Have Edge-to-Edge Crispy Beef & Melty Cheese Smashed onto a Tortilla. Everyone loves a cheeseburger and a crispy taco, so combining the two just works. It’s your classic burger meets taco in this delicious trending recipe we just can’t get enough of. 

Smash Burger Tacos

What is a Smash Burger Taco?

You get an incredible mash-up of flavour and textures, when you combine two family favourite meals… burgers and tacos! I bet you thought your burgers couldn’t get any better!  I’m recommending you give them a try. Smash Burger Tacos are made with Crispy Beef Smashed onto a Crispy Tortilla and covered with Melty Cheese and all of your favourites classic burger toppings like; lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, jalapeños, onions and of course all the sauce.

While only one side of the beef is directly seared, this process ensures that the meat is crispy on the outside and still juicy on the inside. The smash burger taco cooks extremely fast, as you only sear one side of the meat. They’re quick to prepare and make a good weeknight dinner for the family. So, if it’s been a while since you’ve had a smash burger taco, or somehow missed the trend, give them a try. You’ll be glad that you did.

Smash Burger Tacos

FAQ on Making Smash Burger Tacos:

  • Are Smash Burger Tacos Gluten Free? This recipe is absolutely gluten-free. 
  • What Tortillas Should I use to make Smash Burger Tacos? I use corn tortillas because they’re gluten free and easy to find at most grocery stores. They are more delicate than a flour tortilla. That’s why I fry them tortilla side down first. It crisps the tortilla up which helps keep it from breaking in the pan.
  • Can I Use Flour Tortillas? They do work well for this recipe but they’re not gluten free.
  • What Seasoning Should I use for Smash Burger Tacos?  I prefer just salt on my burger patties. If you like more seasoning on your burgers, you can add it along with the salt. Some other great burger seasonings are black pepper, steak spice, chili powder, garlic powder or seasoning salt.
  • Should I use oil if not using lean ground beef? I add a little oil to my pan because I use lean ground beef, which isn’t very greasy. If you’re using regular ground beef, you won’t need to add as much oil to the pan.
  • Do these tacos reheat well? I recommend eating them fresh but you can of course save the leftovers and reheat on a skillet or in the oven within 3 days of making.
  • Can I Smash these burgers onto the tortilla right on the grill? You can smash them on the grill instead but if you’re using corn tortillas, they are more delicate and are more likely to rip on the grill. That’s why I prefer to press the meat onto the tortilla before grilling them.
  • What should I do if the corn tortillas keeps breaking? Corn tortillas can be more delicate than flour tortillas. Especially if they’re slightly stale. If yours are breaking you can fry both sides of the tortilla in oil alone in the pan. Fry the patty separately as well. Then put them together before serving.

Smash Burger Tacos

What Ingredients Do You Need to Make Smash Burger Tacos?

To Make these Delicious Smash Burger Tacos You’ll Need:

  • Ground Beef – Lean ground beef
  • Tortillas – Small corn tortillas (if not gluten-free, use flour tortillas)
  • Salt – Or your preferred seasoning
  • Cheddar Cheese – Grab the block of cheese and shred it yourself for the best result.
  • Olive Oil – Or your preferred cooking oil
  • Toppings – Use your favourite burger toppings

Smash Burger Tacos

How do you make Smash Burger Tacos?

To make these Easy Smash Burger Tacos:

Step 1: Press a thin layer of beef onto each of the tortillas, then sprinkle the beef with the salt. Have them all ready before you begin cooking.
Step 2: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium high heat. Add a bit of oil to the pan and place one tortilla with the beef side up. Let cook for 1-2 minutes and then flip. Cook the beef side for 3-4 minutes or until the beef is crispy and cooked through. 
Step 3: Flip it back over and place some cheese on top of the beef. Let the cheese melt. Then repeat until all the smash burger tacos are cooked. To keep the tacos warm as you make more, you can keep them in the oven at 120℃/240℉ on a cooling rack so that they don’t go soggy.

Step 4: Top with your favourite toppings and burger sauces. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes for Making the Best Smash Burger Tacos:

  • Any flat top, griddle, or skillet will work – This recipe shows the smash burger tacos being seared in frying pan, but this can easily be accomplished with any griddle or cast iron skillet.
  • Keep them warm in the oven – To keep the tacos warm as you make more, you can keep them in the oven at 120℃/240℉ on a cooling rack so that they don’t go soggy. Try to minimize the time that they’re there.
  • Thin smash – When you pressing the beef onto your tortillas, make sure you get the beef as thin as possible. This is going to ensure a quick cooking time and will make sure you get those lacy and crispy edges!
  • Use your favourite cheese – Any kind of cheese can be used for this recipe. I like using Swiss, mozzarella or American cheese slices.
  • Try this recipe with different meats – You can use ground turkey or ground chicken and can even make a breakfast version using sausage.

  • Flip it back over and place some cheese on top of the beef. Let the cheese melt. Then repeat until all the smash burger tacos are cooked. To keep the tacos warm as you make more, you can keep them in the oven at 120℃/240℉ on a cooling rack so that they don’t go soggy.
  • Top with your favourite toppings and burger sauces. Enjoy!
  • Find additional recipe notes in the blog post above.

Notes

  • Thin smash – When you pressing the beef onto your tortillas, make sure you get the beef as thin as possible. This is going to ensure a quick cooking time and will make sure you get those lacy and crispy edges!
  • Tortillas - Use gluten free corn tortillas (if you're not gluten-free, you can use flour tortillas)

Recipe Notes For making the Best Chili Lime Shrimp:

  • Don’t over cook your shrimp! They cook faster than you might think. They only need to be cooked for a couple of minutes on each side, so watch the pan closely and don’t let them curl tightly.
  • Peel and devein the shrimp before you marinade them. You can alternatively buy shrimp thats’s already peeled, but give them a good rinse.
  • You can use shrimp with tails off if preferred.
  • Shrimp don’t need long to marinade. In fact, you don’t want to leave them for too long or the acid from the lime juice will start to cook them. Thirty minutes is plenty and don’t leave them for more than one hour.
  • American chili powder is a blend of chilies, cumin, garlic powder, and herbs with a ratio of one-part cayenne to seven parts the other spices.  Chili powders sold in other parts of the world, however, are 100% chile pepper and 8X hotter than chili powder! So, use American-style chili powder to make this recipe.
  • You can adjust the spiciness – Add some heat to this recipe by adding cayenne and red pepper flakes based on your spice level.
  • You can use frozen shrimp for this recipe. Just make sure you thaw the shrimp completely before using.
  • To quickly thaw your shrimp, transfer the shrimp to a freezer size bag and tightly seal. Add the bag to a large bowl and submerge with cold tap water; place a heavy bowl over the shrimp so it doesn’t float and stays completely submerged. Let the shrimp sit for 10-20 minutes. After 10 minutes, replace the water with new cold tap water and submerge the shrimp again. Let shrimp sit an additional 10- 20 minutes.

RECIPE NOTES FOR MAKING THE BEST PINEAPPLE CHICKEN

  • To ensure the recipe is gluten free, use gluten free soy sauce and gluten free sweet chili sauce.
  • Store leftovers in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe can be made in a variety of different ways. With other vegetables like red or yellow bell peppers, broccoli or carrots. You can also swap the chicken for shrimp, pork or tofu.
  • Honey or brown sugar can be used in place of the sugar, if preferred.
  • I have used salted cashews for this recipe and it did turn out well. Just don’t add any more salt to the dish. You can rinse them under cold water to remove some of the salt as well.
  • If you’re using raw cashews, you will want to roast them to bring out their flavour. Place them on a sheet pan and put in the oven at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes or until fragrant. They will crisp up as they cool.
  •  You can roast the Cashews, if they’re already roasted as well. This will make them extra crunchy. To toast the cashews, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the cashews on a small pan and bake for 5-7 minutes.
  • This recipe can be made with chicken thighs, instead of the chicken breast if preferred.
