Doesn’t matter what side you’re on. Everyone will be rooting for this beef chili on game day. 

Chili is the perfect way to tackle your football player-sized appetite on Superbowl Sunday and beyond. Our take on the hearty classic comes together with tender ground beef, creamy cannellini beans, a kick of heat from the poblano pepper, and a generous dollop of sour cream to cool it all down.

The result? Comfort food at its finest, and an all-around dinnertime touchdown for the whole team — picky eaters included.

But don’t just take our word for it. Trust Buster Skrine, cornerback for the NY Jets. He’s a huge fan of this chili recipe.

Game-Day Beef Chili with Cannellini Beans, Poblano Pepper, and Cheddar Cheese

Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 2 Scallions
• 2 Cloves Garlic
• 1 Poblano Pepper
• 1 Can Cannellini Beans
• 10 Ounces Ground Beef
• 1 Tablespoon Mexican Spice Blend (2 parts chili powder, 1 part oregano, 1 part smoked paprika, 1 part cumin)
• 1 Unit Vegetable Stock (bouillon cube or packet)
• 1 Package/Can Crushed Tomatoes
• 1/2 Cup Cheddar Cheese
• 4 Tablespoons Sour Cream
• 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
• Salt and Pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Wash and dry all produce. Trim, then thinly slice scallions, keeping greens and whites separate. Mince garlic. Core and seed poblano, then cut into 1/2-inch squares. Drain and rinse beans.
2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef, breaking it up into pieces. Cook, tossing occasionally, until browned at the edges and no longer pink, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
3. Remove pan from heat and carefully pour out and discard any excess grease left by beef. Return to medium-high heat and add scallion whites, poblano, and garlic. Cook, tossing, until lightly browned and softened, 5-6 minutes.
4. Add Mexican spice blend to pan and toss to coat veggies. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Add stock concentrate, beans, tomatoes, beef, and 1 cup water to pan and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and let simmer until thick and stew-like, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. Divide chili between bowls. Sprinkle with cheddar and scallion greens. Dollop with sour cream and serve.
