Beef & Chorizo Chili is one of the most well liked of current trending meals on earth. It is simple, it’s quick, it tastes delicious. It’s appreciated by millions daily. Beef & Chorizo Chili is something which I have loved my entire life. They are nice and they look wonderful.
To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can cook beef & chorizo chili using 11 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Beef & Chorizo Chili:
- Prepare 1 lb ground beef
- Prepare 1 lb Mexican style chorizo (I used homemade)
- Take 1 medium onion - chopped
- Get 2 (28 oz) cans whole tomatoes - 1 can drained
- Take 2 (14.5 oz) cans dark red kidney beans - drained and rinsed
- Make ready 1 (14.5 oz) can black beans - drained and rinsed
- Get 1 (8.75 oz) can whole kernel corn
- Prepare 1 can El Pato hot tomato sauce (Yes, Pato, not Paso)
- Prepare 2 packets chili seasoning (or use homemade to taste)
- Get 2 tbs ketchup (optional)
- Make ready Hot sauce (optional, amount is to personal taste)
Steps to make Beef & Chorizo Chili:
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add chorizo. Crumble to large chunks and begin to brown, stirring often.
- When chorizo is almost done move to one side of pot. Add ground beef to empty side. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Crumble and brown, stirring often (just the beef side).
- When beef is almost done. Add onion. Stir meats and onion together. Allow meats to finish cooking. About 2 minutes.
- Add beans, corn, El Pato sauce, and tomatoes. Do not stir yet. Smash tomatoes by hand directly in the pot. Add chili seasoning and additional salt to taste. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a simmer. Place lid on top slightly off center to vent. Reduce heat to medium low. Simmer 1 hr stirring occasionally.
- Just before serving stir in ketchup and desired amount of your favorite hot sauce if you'd like. Taste. Adjust salt if needed. Dish up and enjoy!
- For tips, see NOTES below ⤵
- NOTE: If you feel nervous about smashing up the tomatoes in the pot (like you could burn yourself, which you shouldn't because you shouldn't be submerging your hand into anything) smash them up in a separate bowl before adding. I just do them directly in the pot to save a dish. It is wise, though, to utilize your pot lid as a shield to prevent squinting everything with tomato juice and seeds. Lol
- NOTE 2: If you can't find El Pato brand hot tomato sauce in your local market any brand of hot tomato sauce will do (you just need a small can). We just really think El Pato is the best.
- NOTE 3: For a tasty homemade chili seasoning see the recipe for "chilly chili seasoning' on my page.
Information on How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
For the most part, people have been conditioned to believe that “comfort” foods are terrible for the body and should be avoided. Often, if the comfort food is candy or some other junk food, this is very true. Other times, comfort foods can be utterly healthy and good for us to consume. There are some foods that actually can boost your moods when you consume them. When you feel a little down and need an emotional boost, try a couple of these.
Eggs, you might be amazed to find out, are terrific at combating depression. Just make sure that you don’t get rid of the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the yolks in particular, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can be terrific for elevating your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–function better. Try to eat an egg and feel better!
Make a trail mixfrom various seeds and nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all wonderful for improving your mood. This is possible since these foods have a bunch of magnesium which boosts serotonin production. Serotonin is known as the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling day in and day out. The more serotonin you have, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Not only that, nuts, specifically, are a terrific protein food source.
If you wish to beat depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all high in omega-3s and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain function a lot better. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you overcome your depression.
It’s not hard to drive away your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really great for helping boost your happiness levels. They help you feel full too which can truly help to better your mood. Feeling starved can be terrible! These grains can elevate your mood since it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. You digest these foods more quickly than other things which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.
Green tea is fantastic for moods. You were simply expecting to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is loaded with an amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has discovered that this amino acid promotes the production of brain waves. This helps raise your mental sharpness while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not difficult to get healthy when you drink green tea. Now you are well aware that it helps you to raise your moods as well!
Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try a few of these tips instead.
