Best Ever Chunky Chili
- 1 1/2 cups dry pinto beans
- 1 1/2 cups dried navy beans
- water
- 1 small bay leaf
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1/2 green pepper, diced
- 1 celery rib, diced
- 1 (32 ounce) can tomato puree
- 1 (10 ounce) can tomatoes, diced
- 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
- 1 1/2 cups ketchup
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Cover beans with water and bring to a boil; set aside to soak at least 1 hour. Rinse, discarding bean water and recover beans with more water by 2-inches. Season and pressure cook, see tips (or soak overnight, then season and cook for 60-90 min, adding water as necessary).
- Tips: Bring a 5 qt pressure cooker up to 15 lb pressure (PSI, 2nd ring for 2nd generation cookers). Cook 15 minutes @ sea level (adding 1 minute per 1000 ft in altitude) or consult the Ball Blue Book.
- Softening Beans: NEVER add acidic foods (such as tomato products, lemon juice or vinegar) BEFORE the beans are fully softened.
- In a 2nd large stock pot, brown the meat and veggies, add remaining ingredients and softened beans, simmer uncovered 1 hour.
