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 diced chicken breasts, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  • If using ground turkey, break up until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes.

  • If using Italian sausage, remove from casing, if necessary. Break up sausage until no pink remains and sausage reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Start Chili

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

    Stem poblano pepper, seed, and cut into 1/4" 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.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add ground beef, poblanos (use less if spice-averse), and white portions of green onions to hot pan. Stir occasionally, breaking up beef until poblanos begin to get tender, 4-5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Finish the Chili

    Stir demi-glace, fire roasted tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, 1 cup water, chile and cumin rub, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper into hot pan. Bring to a boil.

    Once boiling, cover. Stir occasionally until poblanos are tender and ground beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While chili cooks, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Make the Crema

    In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, chipotle pesto (to taste), and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish
