    I printed it and hole punched it for my recipe binder at home. Thanks!

    I laugh at the Chili's in the store that claim they are "Chili Con Carne". Well what the hell would they be? Can you imagine a chili without meat?, a chili with just kidney beans? You might as well buy a bucket of chili from Wendy's as eat that crap.

    Try it, I guarantee you will love it.

    DEL RIO MOUNTAIN RED CHILI

    This chili contains no beans or tomatoes

    5 lbs ground beef shoulder roast (it is illegal to substitute turkey or any other substance)
    1 chopped onion
    6 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 thsp ground cumin
    1 thsp ground Mexican Oregano
    2 thsp paprika
    4 oz chili powder
    2 cups chopped chili peppers
    3 thsp chicken bullion
    1 cup strong black coffee (is there any other kind?)
    2 squares unsweetened chocolate
    ¼ cup masa harina

    For the broth

    8 cups beef broth (Swansons)
    2 stalks celery
    2 carrots
    1 large onion (unpeeled)
    2 cloves garlic (whole)

    combine all broth ingredients and bring to boil. Simmer for two hours. Strain broth.

    Brown meat in small amount of oil. Remove from pan. Stir the onions and garlic until soft and light brown. Return the beef to the pot add all other ingredients. Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Add the chocolate and coffee. Simmer for at least 8 hours.

    Add two sliced jalapeno peppers to mixture. Simmer for one more hour. Mix the ¼ cup masa harina with ¾ cup water to make a paste. Add to chili and stir until chili mixture thickens.

    Although the chili can now be eaten its best to wait a few days to allow the flavors to marry! Serve with corn bread, rice or crackers.

    Makes one gallon of chili

    Beans? Potatoes? Corn? What?!


    No offence.
