S & B's #LAMBorDay Chili
Using ground mutton amplifies the flavor of this easy to make, and absolutely delicious chili!
Equipment
- 1 large pot
- 1 stirring spoon
- 1 colander
- 1 cutting board
- 1 sharp knife
Ingredients
- 1 T. avocado or olive oil
- 2 lbs S&B Bell Farms ground mutton
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 each bell peppers (any color), chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 T. salt
- 2 T. ground black pepper
- 2 T. chili powder
- 1 T. celery seed
- 1 T. paprika
- 1 T. cumin
- 3 15.5 oz cans chili beans **drain and rinse optional**
- 2 14.5 oz cans stewed tomatoes
- 1 quart tomato juice (homemade is best!)
Instructions
- Brown the ground mutton in the pot, and then drain
- Chop the onion, garlic, and bell peppers and set aside
- Return the mutton to the pot, and then add the chopped vegetables and stir. Let the vegetables sweat for approximately 5 minutes.
- Add all seasonings, and stir well to combine. Continue stirring for a few minutes to be sure all the seasonings get warmed and fragrant.
- Add beans, stewed tomatoes, and tomato juice. Stir well and let simmer for at least 30 minutes. You could also put this in your crockpot on low for a few hours. Just remember that chili always tastes better the next day, once the flavors have time to marry!
Notes
For a little more heat, try adding 1 t. crushed red pepper to the spice mixture
Garnish with jalapenos, sour cream, cheese, or any of your favorite chili toppings!

Susan, it was a great privilege to run into you today at the farmers market on Peterson Drive. The sample of lamb chili you provided me was amazing and beyond my expectations and I have already shared my thumbs up approval with my daughter. The bonus was the recipe you made available which I hope to soon, knowing that it will fall tremendously short of that which you prepared. Knowing that you are the daughter of one of the best people I have ever had the honor to know will definitely go a long way in convincing me that I have now tasted the best lamb chili I will ever eat. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to trying your next amazing and delicious recipe.
Respectfully I remain,
Christopher Wright
Chris, it was so wonderful to see you this weekend!! So glad you enjoyed the chili. I told mom you said hi 🙂
Hi. Do you drain and rinse the chili beans before adding? I normally rinse my pinto and kidney beans when I make chili. But the recipe did not say drain chili beans first and since I don’t normally use chili beans., I did not. But now I’m hoping I didn’t mess up . I would recommend adding this to the Recipe if so.
Hi Lisa – I didn’t 🙂
