This is my chili recipe.
Beef Chili
2 pounds ground beef, or cut into 1/2 cubes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper ( salt optional)
1 T ground cumin
1 large onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 T chipotle pepper puree
3 T chili powder
1 T arbol chili powder
1 T ancho chili powder
1/2 - 1 tsp cayenne powder
2 (28oz) cans tomato sauce
3 cans rotel
2 cans beans (pinto and kidney?)
2 tsp sugar or vinegar to cut acidity (I use the sugar)
In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, season the beef with salt and pepper, and saute until browned. Sprinkle with cumin and stir well. Add the onion and garlic, cook until soft. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until the beef is tender. Remove from heat and adjust seasonings, if needed.
Thanks
