How to make it
- Heat your dutch oven over a medium heat until hot.
- Add the beef and pork cubes. Do not take the time to brown the meat.
- immediately add onions and stir.
- Cover pot and cook for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
- Add chili powder and cumin and stir.
- Add 1 cup of water.
- Cover pot and cook for one hour, reducing flame to medium low. Stir often to keep meat from sticking to bottom of the pot.
- Add chili pepper or jalepenos and garlic.
- Add the Rotel tomatoes and stir well.
- Cover pot and cook for 30 more minutes.
- Check the meat for tenderness.
- Add the drained and rinsed beans, stirring well.
- Reduce flame to low.
- Cook for 30 more minutes and add salt to taste. *You can also add more spice with more chili pepper (not powder) at this time.
- IF YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A THICKER CHILI, add the masa flour to the 1/4 of water, mix well and add that to the chili, stirring in well and cook for about 10 minutes until the chili is thicker.
- (We like to add crushed salty crackers or salted tortilla chips to the finished chili so that thickens it up with out the masa.)
- Serve in bowls topped with chopped onions and a large dollop of sour cream and a bit of Monterey Jack Cheese. Crackers or tortilla chips can be served on the side.
- Garlic bread and a simple salad make the recipe complete.
- *** If you have leftover chili, roll some up in some warmed corn tortillas like enchiladas, cover with some cheese and heat in the oven with a sprinkling of chopped green onions or roll it up in warmed flour tortillas for some great burritos.
- *You can also serve this chili as a dip. Just chop up the chili in a food processor, heat and pour it over a bar of cream cheese and serve with tortilla chips and some finely diced onions.
- *Teens love this served over cooked french fries.
- Good stuff, Maynard*

I've made the Chasens chili before and it was pretty good. This sounds tastey, Anne. I like the fact that there's no ground beef it the recipe. Good for you! Thanks for the post.

OMG! Outrageous chili! I made this with that frosting I wrote to you about. This is so much better than using ground beef. Its like a stew and everyone really enjoyed it. Thanks from all of us who ate it. Good going, Annieamie.
