Ingredients

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*

    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.

    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.
