Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |

  • Ground Beef 160° F |

  1. 1

    Start the Chili

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add ground beef, diced peppers, and white portions of green onions to hot pan. Stir occasionally, breaking up meat, until peppers start to soften, no pink remains on ground beef, and ground beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Finish the Chili

    Stir tomato paste, fire-roasted tomatoes, half the BBQ sauce (reserve remaining for crema), 3/4 cup water, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper into hot pan until combined. Bring to a boil.

    Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer. Cover, and stir occasionally until peppers are tender and chili has combined and slightly thickened, 4-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While chili cooks, make crema.

  3. 3

    Make the Crema

    Combine sour cream and remaining BBQ sauce in a mixing bowl.
