Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Remember my recipes are just guidelines, not rules.
Step #2 If you do not like something in it, remove it or substitute something else.
Step #3 If you are going to use peppers, it is best to toast them in the broiler or over an open flame to burn the skins.
Step #4 Optional: Split them open & remove the veins & seeds (lower heat, fruitier flavor).
Step #5 Coarsely chop the onion.
Step #6 Add the onion, garlic, & olive oil to a hot skillet; sauté until the onions are translucent.
Step #7 Add ground beef or stewing beef to the onions & garlic.
Step #8 When the beef is browned, go ahead & drain grease if there is any.
Step #9 Now add the 2 c of water, tomato paste & sliced tomatoes to the beef mixture.
Step #10 Start adding your spices as the mixture comes to a low boil.
Step #11 Lower your burner to simmer & add your beans.
Step #12 Let simmer for 1 to 2 hrs until desired thickness.
Step #13 Optional: You can also transfer your chili to a slow cooker (aka crockpot) at this point & cook for an even longer period of time.
Step #14 More Fire: Add some of your favorite hot sauce.
Step #15 I use something called Vicious Viper.
Step #16 Extra Veggies: I like to add a can of whole kernel corn, but any other veggie will work.
