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) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using 20 oz. ground beef, follow same instructions as 10 oz. ground beef, working in batches, if necessary.

  • If using ground turkey, follow same instructions as beef in Steps 2 and 3, breaking up until vegetables start to soften, 2-3 minutes, adding ingredients, then stirring occasionally until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-8 minutes.

  • If using ground pork, follow same instructions as beef in Steps 2 and 3, breaking up until vegetables start to soften, 2-3 minutes, adding ingredients, then stirring occasionally until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-8 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Stem poblano, seed, and cut into 1/2" dice. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.

    Halve and peel onion. Cut halves into 1/4" dice.

  2. 2

    Start the Chili

    Place a medium pot over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add ground beef, poblano (use less if spice-averse), and onion to hot pot. Break up ground beef and stir occasionally until vegetables begin to soften, 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Finish the Chili

    Add flour and chile and cumin rub to hot pot and stir until no dry flour remains.

    Add beans, salsa (to taste), a pinch of salt and pepper, mirepoix base, and 11/2 cups water. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until slightly thickened and ground beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-8 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish
