THE MICRO jm_ VJ LAN! BLOOMER 4 Microwave a Pot of Chili For a Warm Meal! Chili and com based bread is a terrific combination for a warm and hearty meal. With a fresh green salad, you’re all set for company, or a quick hot lunch. For vegetarians, or an inex pensive meal, make the chili without meat. The beans, corn meal and flour complement each other to give you a complete protein. I’ve tried many recipes for chili, but the recipe below for Cincinnati Chili is our favorite. A friend shared her family’s recipe, and I adapted it for microwaving.

Cook on high power, stirring several times, until pink color is gone. A good way to brown hamburger in your microwave is to place it in a plastic colander sitting in a pie plate or dinner plate. The fat that cooks out of the meat drains away and can easily be discarded. If reducing fat in your diet is important, this is the best way to brown ground meat in the microwave. However, I should warn you that the plastic colander is hard to clean. The meat juices stick in all those little holes! Raw chopped vegetables, such as onions, garlic, green peppers, or celery, should be sauteed until tender before adding other ingredients. Microwave on high power for about 3 minutes per cup of vegetables, stirring once or twice. Oil can be added for flavor, but is not necessary to prevent scor ching. Vegetables can also be sauteed with the meat, as in the recipe below. Reduce the liquids from a conventional recipe by about half, since there is less evaporation in the microwave. Once it is hot, simmer the chili on medium, (50,5) for half an hour. If starting with raw cubed or shredded meat, longer simmering time may be needed for the meat to get tender.

Leave uncovered, and microwave on medium (50,5) for 30 minutes, until thickened. Flavor develops more fully if allowed to stand before serving. For best flavor, refrigerate and reheat to serve next day. Tips: recipe may be cut in half by cutting ingredients in half. In step 1 microwave for 4 minutes, in step 2, microwave for 7 to 8 minutes, until hot. Simmering time for step 3 remains the same. (Since you don’t save much time, why not make the full amount and freeze the extra?) Reheat chili on high, stirring every 5 minutes. Or, set probe for 160 degrees, but don’t forget to stir. Note: The times above are for microwaves with 600-700 watts of power; for 500 W, add 10 to 15 seconds to each minute.
