My special chili recipe. I like it nice and hot!
Start with 2 lbs ground beef (or 1.5lb beef, 0.5lb pork)
Brown in small amount of oil with crushed garlic and 4Tbs chili powder, salt & ground pepper
To the beef, add:
- 2-3 large cans of crushed Tomatoes(or two crushed and one whole, cut in pieces)
- 2 cans dark kidney beans
- 2 cans light kidney beans or chick peas
- 2 onions, cut in lengthwise slices or rings
- 3 bell peppers cut in lengthwise slices
- 1 green, 1 red and 1 orange for color
- 3 Tbs chili powder
- Oregano, salt, 2tsp sugar, pinch ground cloves
Now for the heat… to your taste:
- 3-4 large Jalapeño peppers
- Tabasco, cumin and/or your favorite hot sauce
- 1-2 habanero peppers, chopped but be careful
- spices and peppers are to your taste
Simmer all together for at least one hour, preferably two.
I like it Cincinnati style. Obie’s Chili on a bed of angel hair pasta with cheese on top and sour cream on top of that and chopped onions on top of that and…..you get the idea
Enjoy!
