Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 24 ounce package Curly’s BBQ Baby Back Ribs, with sauce reserved
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 14.5 ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 15 ounce can red kidney beans, drained
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 sourdough mini boules or other 4 ½ inch hard rolls
  • Sour cream cheddar cheese, jalapenos and onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Remove the meat from the rib bones and dice into bite sized pieces.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, add onions, jalapenos and garlic. Cook just until softened and fragrant about 1 minute.
  • Add in ribs and reserved BBQ sauce from package. Cook 2 minutes.
  • Pour in beef broth, scrape any bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  • Mix in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, tomato paste, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until thickened 30 - 45 minutes.
  • Cut ¼ inch off the top of the bread loaves. Hollow out the inside being careful not to go all the way though. Place bowls under the broiler for 1 - 2 minutes or until toasted.
  • Ladle chili into bowls. Top with cheddar cheese, sour cream, onions and jalapenos. Serve immediately.
