TEXAS CHILI
From bestcooker 16 years agoIngredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef shopping list
- 1 small onion, chopped shopping list
- 2-3/4 Tablespoons chili powder shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar shopping list
- dash of red cayenne pepper shopping list
- dash of ground black pepper shopping list
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons white vinegar shopping list
- 3 dashes of Tabasco sauce (optional) shopping list
- one 12 ounce can "regular" V-8 juice (NOT one of the flavored varieties) shopping list
- one 15 oz. can diced tomatoes (DO NOT DRAIN) shopping list
- one 15 ounce can dark red kidney beans (DO NOT DRAIN) shopping list
- a scant 1 Tablespoon cornmeal shopping list
- Shredded monterey jack cheese (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- In a medium size pot, brown ground beef and onion together. Drain any grease well.
- Add chili powder, brown sugar, red cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic, vinegar, Tabasco sauce (if using), V-8 juice, tomatoes, and the JUICE ONLY from the can of kidney beans. Simmer over low heat until cooked down, about an hour or so.
- Quickly stir in cornmeal to thicken (if you stir it in too slowly, the cornmeal will clump up and you'll have little yellow "floaters" in the chili).
- Stir in kidney beans and simmer 30 minutes.
- Top servings with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, if desired.
- Note: You can make this as mild or as spicy as you like by adjusting the amounts of chili powder and tabasco. Like most tomato-based sauces, this tastes even better the next day!
