Camp Chili

Chili is great for parties-whether it’s cool outside or not. You can always freeze leftovers in various sized bags to pop in a microwave oven for a quick meal. Coarsely chopping your own steak makes a heartier chili; you can always substitute hamburger meat.

7 to 8 pounds round steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound thick-sliced bacon, chopped
4 cups diced onions
¼ cup flour
2 tablespoons kosher or sea salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
8 cloves garlic, crushed
4 large tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons paprika
8 poblano peppers, roasted, peeled and chopped
4 cups beef stock

1. Brown bacon in large cast iron dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions before bacon is done and continue browning until onions are soft. Dip bacon and onions out.

2. Dredge meat in flour, salt and pepper. Place in Dutch oven, stirring continuously until beef is browned. Return cooked bacon and onions to pan; add garlic. Stir and brown 2 to 3 minutes.

3. Add ground cumin, paprika, peppers, tomatoes, beef stock and enough water to cover completely. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer from 2 ½ hours or until tender, stirring occasionally, adding a little water as needed.

Thanks for the recipe!

I make killer chili, only half the crowd wants “tomato soup” so I have to make two pots. Chili freezes extremely well—you just have to remember that freezing it makes it hotter spicewise! LOL We freeze it in gallon ziplock bags. Stores flat and thaws pretty quick.
