Original Tommy’s Chili Copycat Recipe

- Thick, almost spreadable, my copycat Original Tommy's Chili is made using no tomatoes, no beans, uses several chili powders and masa harina to hit the spot. Perfect to top hamburgers, hotdogs, fries and my favorite, crispy tator tots!

Ingredients
4 garlic cloves
2 jalapeños
1 carrot
1 medium onion
5 cups water (divided)
1 lb ground beef (See Note 1)
3 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp Chimayo chili powder (See Note 2)
1 tbsp Ancho chili powder
4 tsp ground cumin
4 tsp paprika
3 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp Mexican oregano
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp cider apple vinegar (or white vinegar)
2/3 cup flour
1/3 cup Masa Harina
Instructions
Peel and cut the carrot into 2 inch pieces. Peel and quarter the onion. Cut the stem off the jalapeños and cut lengthwise. In a food processor add the carrot, onion, garlic and pepper. Pulse until almost a paste.
To the Instant Pot add the vegetable paste, 3 cups of water, ground beef, chili powders, cumin, paprika, salt, sugar, Mexican oregano and black pepper. Stir to mix and break up the ground beef (See Note 3).
Close lid and vent. Select Manual Pressure and set timer for 18 minutes. Allow natural pressure release (10 minutes) not a Quick Release.
In a small bowl whisk together the flour, masa harina and remaining 2 cups of water. Pour this in the chili mixture, stir to mix in and press the Saute option. This will sputter, so if your IP has the option, choose Saute Low, if not cover. Set for 10 minutes, stirring often. This will thicken considerably. Stir in the vinegar and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Spoon over hamburgers, hotdogs, French fries, tator tots, or baked potatoes. I also like to have diced onions, mustard and dill pickles alongside.
Notes
1. I get a 80/20 ground beef, If you can find it at your market, or ask the butcher, use a "chili grind" ground beef, it's finer consistency than regular ground beef and perfect for this.
2. Feel free to substitute Chimayo chile powder with any New Mexico red chile powder if you can't find it. I order online.
3. By adding the ground beef to the liquid and NOT browning it allows it to break down easier and the result is a smooth chili.

Made this over here in England, had to order most of the dry ingredients from Amazon but managed to pull it off!! great recipe and unlike anything you can get over here!! brings back memories of when I lived in California many years ago...... Thanks! :D
So glad you were able to get it all and enjoy! Thanks for finding me and for taking the time to let me know Mick.
This comment deserved a standing-O!! So here ya go:
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I had a role-reversal w you & spent 20 years trying to find a London doner kebab. Not until I found the perfect recipe(s) on YT did I get there! 😮💨
Instapot is great but I think ya gotta reduce it down with the lid off longer so that the chili thickens for that Tommy's smooth consistency.
Beautiful..... Just awesomely beautiful!! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks!
Thanks for the recipe. Very nice chili sauce.
This is exactly what I've been looking for. I love Tommy's but have cut pork and beef from my diet and haven't seen anything close to what you've done here. Thx, from CA 👍🏽!
Use turkey or lamb
Great Job. 👍 i will Try.
Yooo I’ve been looking for a Tommy’s type chile recipe for a while ! definitely gonna try this out tomorrow
did u try it out
@@562marcos yes I did , was pretty good ! I wouldn’t say copy cat of Tommy’s tho
Over a 1000 miles away from a Tommy's..I AM SO HAPPY NOW🤗🤗🤗
THANK YOU
Enjoy!
This looks so bomb! Cali stand up!! There food is so good!!
Thanks!
If I don't have a pressure cooker, how long should I cook the ground beef with the vegetables and spices before adding the water and flour mixture?
Luke, I've found 50-54 minutes would be fine. Typically 3 times the time from an Instant Pot is my conversion rule to stove top.
Absolutely Amazing and Delicious 😋 I have a Tommys 1/2 mile from my house. But I made this recipe and Wow ❤️. So Good. On Burgers & Hot Dogs 🌭
So glad you enjoyed my take on it Mick!
@@KevinIsCooking in 6 minutes. I’ll have a Tommy’s. Double Chili Cheese Burger. Chili Cheese Fries Well Done & a Chili Cheese Hot Dog. Absolutely Amazing & Delicious 😋
You suck so much for having a Tommy's a 1/2mile away from your house, and I hate you... And I hope you know I'm being sarcastic because I'm so jealous, lol.
I love Tommy's but live 6 hours away from the nearest one 😭
JEALOUS!!@#@!#! Became an addict in the early 90s. Now I live in Nebraska.......Pray for me :(
nice quick video for the recipe. liked it. question. what was put into the pot toward the end? Was that cream or milk???
That would be the water, flour and masa harina mixture. Read all about it here... Tick the drop down arrow near the recipe name if on Mobile or the SHOW MORE on desktop for the entire recipe and tips!
@@KevinIsCooking perfect. Thanks Kevin! I'll subscribe now. Thanks a bunch
I tried it, so very close. Have you ever noticed how when the original chilli cools it has an orangy congealed oil/fat around it? I think the original might have mexican beef chorizo in it.
i heard it was beef tallow...but just like KFC, no one really knows how to copy any of it. They just know how to get real close.
@@totigerus ....yes, I would guess Beef Tallow or possibly ground Beef Heart's was used, or Beef Suet.
I believe the original is made with a beef tallow and flour roux, cooked until brown and then added. Gives a smoother texture and a darker color. It's also much richer and holds hot longer, which is what you'd want for a chili stand. Folks ate heavier in 1946, and Tommy's chili is about as rich as it gets, especially on hamburgers and hot dogs. I love that stuff, I'm not quitting and I can't help it!
More than likely beef suet. A fat harvested from beef kidneys.
People always grossly underestimate the power of beef tallow. For ONE, it took that to FINALLY get my cheesesteaks to taste EXACTLY like Geno’s! 20 years of failure until Steve from NACS changed my life! 👀😅👍
I've been looking for many months for a copycat recipe and this pretty much hit the nail on the head. Smart to do it in the pressure cooker! Don't listen to the trolls
plz copy The hat's chili too. i'v been trying to get close. but not even
The temperature of the street and the temperature of the road.
Tommy's chili is noticeably darker than the one featured here. It has a chocolaty taste too.
Is this the tommys from California?
Yes it is Zorida.
Wow thank you for the fast response my husband is from California and he always raves about the chili, i cant find the chamayo here locally so im reading the footnotes you left on here
@@ZoridaGonzalez Amazon has Chimayo powder, the brand I use (and am not paid by) is from Spice and Chili. Enjoy!
Tommy's is unlike any other, but this is a great recreation. I've made it a few times now. I use a cheese grater to shred the veggies, since I don't have a food processor.
Thanks Sam, much appreciated!
Where are the beans?
As with Tommy's, traditional chili simply does not contain beans. Feel free to add them if you want!
😳😳😳
Tommy's chili is gluten free. There is no wheat flour in it.
Looks complicated
Nope! Super easy. All in one pot and let it simmer away!
The seeds will make the chili extra spicy n Tommys Chili is not spicy
You have failed us. How much of each ingredient?
Tick the drop down arrow near the recipe name if on Mobile or the SHOW MORE on desktop for the entire recipe and tips!
This recipe starts in the right direction, but gets derailed in multiple areas and lacks many steps needed to bring it right up close to the real Tommy’s.
In what way?
Share the wealth, then.
You lost me at Turkey meat
It has ground beef, turkey was just mentioned as an alternative. :)
@@KevinIsCooking 👍
hey dude
fat burger's chili is made with turkey and it's prettyyy prettyyyy prettyy good!
Pretty certain there is zero jalapeno in their chili, and, there's definitely no turkey meat. This recipe is a huge nope for me.
Wish you'd give it a try first! I mention ground turkey for those who don't do ground beef like stated in the recipe.
@@KevinIsCooking Never said I wouldn't be willing to try, but the title of your video is "Copycat recipe" and it's definitely not a copycat version. That's all, that was my point.
@@CapriKoRn Do you work for Tommy's?
There is zero jalapeno in Tommys chili. I lived 5 miles from the La Habra location for 20 year and ate there (probably) weekly. So I've got to agree with Nemesis.
@@alandgomez5905 Nope.
