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 pork, follow same instructions as 10 oz. ground pork, working in batches, if necessary.

  • If using ground beef, follow same instructions as ground pork in Steps 1 and 3, breaking up until no pink remains and beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.

  • If using ground turkey, follow same instructions as ground pork in Steps 1 and 3, breaking up until no pink remains and turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 7-9 minutes.

  1. 1

    Start the Pork

    Place a large pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add pork, chile and cumin rub, and a pinch of salt to hot pot. Break up meat until beginning to brown, 3-4 minutes.

    While pork cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

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

    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.

  3. 3

    Start the Chili

    Add poblano (use less if spice-averse) to hot pot and stir occasionally until slightly softened and pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 3-4 minutes.

    Add tomato puree and cook, 30 seconds.

    Stir in demi-glace and 1 cup water until combined.

  4. 4

    Finish Chili and Finish Dish

    Add black beans and their liquid, crushed tomatoes, corn, white portions of green onions, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper to hot pot. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until combined and slightly thickened, 4-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping chili with green portions of green onions and chipotle crema. Bon appétit!
