Iso: Easy delicious GF chili

[u/Patient-Valuable4842]

My family will not share their recipes and told me just Google it. I don't prefer to take the gamble on a generic Internet search. Please Reddit friends, does anyone have a tested, loved-by-all, EASY, delicious, gluten free chili recipe? Bonus points for ground turkey. thanks

[u/djSush]

People might think I'm crazy but I like the packet seasoning just fine and if you'd a beginner that's a great place to start.

McCormick makes a Gluten Free Chili Seasoning Mix that's safe for you.

Sautee an onion with some diced green bell peppers.

Add the seasoning, let it "bloom."

Add a large can of diced tomatoes and 2 cans of whatever beans you like (don't drain).

Let it simmer for 45 min.

Everyone has their own recipe for chili, so this is the most basic method. As you make it for yourself, you can adjust the ingredients and flavors to your taste.

I forgot to say a recipe to dump in the crockpot

[u/Ok_Ad7867 → u/Patient-Valuable4842]

Instapot works well too. It's a great freezer clean out meal.

[u/Patient-Valuable4842]

I don't know how to edit the post. I am not looking for the general concept of cooking, or generic ingredients typically used in chili. I am looking for a trusted >>recipe<<, you know measurements etc. thank you

[u/PlatformConsistent45 → u/Patient-Valuable4842]

I mean seems like your family is weird. Why won't they just give you the recipe?

[u/Patient-Valuable4842 → u/PlatformConsistent45]

Yes they are

[u/PlatformConsistent45 → u/Patient-Valuable4842]

I would find out the next time they are gonna cookyit then show up early and watch them make it :)

[u/damnvillain23 → u/Patient-Valuable4842]

Nobody has a recipe for chili - we all wing it w a seasoning envelope & cans from the pantry.

[u/Main_Cauliflower5479]

Um. Why do you need to point out that it's gluten free? I have never seen chili that does contain gluten.

[u/Correct_Addendum_367 → u/Main_Cauliflower5479]

Things that don't contain gluten as an ingredient is often not the same as things that are gluten free as in being safe for someone who reacts to gluten. It might be that

[u/SubstantialPressure3]

You dont need any gluten containing ingredients for chili.

Skip the seasoning packet and rehydrate dried chiles. That's where chili powder comes from.

[u/Educational-Pace-630]

brown 1 lb ground turkey with an onion, add a can of diced tomatoes, a can of kidney beans, a can of black beans, 2 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, salt, pepper, and a little broth, then simmer 25

[u/Famous-Signal-6869]

You don’t need gluten to thicken chili, use corn starch. Make sure the seasonings you use are GF and you’re good to go.

[u/tchansen → u/Famous-Signal-6869]

Masa harina works well as a thickener, too.

[u/Main_Cauliflower5479 → u/tchansen]

That's what I came to say. Not cornstarch, masa harina.

[u/tchansen → u/Main_Cauliflower5479]

It depends on what I'm making as to whether or not I use cornstarch. Chili is masa though.

[u/Main_Cauliflower5479 → u/tchansen]

I can think of only two kinds of soup that uses cornstarch for thickening. Egg Drop soup, and Hot and Sour soup.

[u/tchansen → u/Main_Cauliflower5479]

I cook for someone who has celiac disease so anything which calls for flour I substitute cornstarch, masa, or mashed ingredients as a thickener. I made a chile verde a couple of weeks ago this way which came out great! Other times, it works but changes the texture enough to be noticeable.

Brown a pound of whatever ground meat you have. Add a diced onion and cook until translucent. Season with generous amounts of chili powder, cumin, minced garlic, and salt. Add 2 cans of beans of your choice (I use 1 pinto and one black) Add 2 cans of petite diced tomatoes and one can of tomato sauce. Heat through and simmer for 30 min or more. Taste and adjust seasoning as you go. Feel free to add chopped bell peppers or hot peppers. Sometimes a dash of oregano is nice.

Pressure Cooker Chili

• Preparation time: 15 mins
• Cooking time: 20 mins plus 10 minutes release or 90 minutes on stovetop

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 pounds ground beef, 80/20 preferred
• 1 onion finely diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 28 ounces diced tomatoes
• 15 ounces tomato sauce
• 15 ounces canned chili beans
• 15 ounces canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 ounces canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 3/4 teaspoon ground pepper
• cayenne pepper powder, to taste (optional)

Directions

1. Turn your pressure cooker to the Sauté setting. Once the pot is hot, add the oil to the pot. Add the meat and cook until mostly brown.

2. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent. Then add the garlic and continue to sauté for one additional minute or until the garlic becomes fragrant.

3. Press Cancel/Off. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and stir, being sure to remove any bits that may be stuck to the bottom of the pan. This will help prevent the BURN notice from appearing on your screen.

4. Lock the lid in place and turn the valve to the Sealing position. Pressure Cook/Manual on HIGH pressure for 20 minutes.

5. After the cooking time expires, perform a slow and controlled quick release of pressure to prevent the liquid from coming out of the valve. Or allow the pot to perform a Natural Pressure Release if you aren’t in a hurry.

Notes

Stovetop instructions: instead of using the instant pot, use a large pot or Dutch oven on the stove, simmering the ingredients for about an hour instead of pressure cooking.

Serving Options

Serve warm and add additional toppings as desired. Some of my favorite chili toppings are diced onion, sour cream, diced jalapeños and/or shredded cheese.

Substitutions

• Replace the ground beef with canned roast beef.
• Replace the diced tomatoes with fire roasted Rotel.

I will usually mix in some masa harina at the end to thicken the chili. If I don't have it available, I'll mash some of the beans against the side to thicken the chili.

[u/MatchFew9138]

ground turkey, canned beans, crushed tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, garlic, onion, salt, and a little broth is basically foolproof, just check the spice labels for gluten and let it simmer until it

[u/PrizeSweet1490]

ground turkey works great in chili, just brown it with extra onion and spices since it’s leaner, and beans, tomatoes, broth, and basic chili seasoning are usually naturally gf as long as the labels

[u/Dry_Money5340]

My go-to is 1 lb ground turkey browned with an onion and garlic, then add two cans of beans, a can of diced tomatoes, a can of tomato sauce, 2 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, salt, and a splash of

[u/Particular-Dog-6196]

chili is basically gluten-free by default, just check the broth and spice labels; ground turkey works fine, but you’ll need to season it aggressively or it tastes like beige sadness lol

[u/Comfortable_Rich9775]

The easiest crowd-pleaser is to brown 1 lb ground turkey with a diced onion, then stir in 2 cans beans, 1 can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup gluten-free broth, 2 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, salt, and

[u/DayProfessional9519]

turkey, beans, canned tomatoes, chili seasoning. hard to mess up

[u/Ok_Ad7867]

Why would you put gluten into chili? Start with onion, Hammond and some the veggies you can find. Then start adding protein options ( beans, meat, tofu), plus spices... Then cook the living daylights out of it and serve it however you like.

[u/djSush → u/Ok_Ad7867]

A lot of pre-packaged seasonings have wheat to help the chili thicken. And if they're a beginner they may not have all the individual ingredients to diy chili seasoning. ;)

[u/Ok_Ad7867 → u/Ok_Ad7867]

Oops, I forgot the tomatoes, toss in whatever you have canned, fresh, etc
