Cajunate's Homemade Chili



6 lbs. ground beef

6 Cups diced onions

2 Cups diced bell peppers

5 Tbsp. chili powder

2 Tbsp. black pepper

1 Tbsp. salt

2 Jalapeno peppers, sliced

4 toes garlic(finely chopped)

2 large cans Tomatoes, diced or crushed

1 can tomato paste, 6 oz.

1 can tomato sauce, 15 oz.

4 cans red kidney beans

1 can Blue Runner cream style red beans 27 oz.

1 can black beans(optional, if adding the black beans reduce by same amount of red beans)


Start off by browning the ground meat in a Dutch oven or large heavy pot. Be careful using cast iron as the acid in the tomatoes can cause an iron taste to leach into the chili. Only use a really well seasoned cast iron pot if you have to. When browned remove meat from the pot and set aside.

Next saute' the onions and bell peppers add the garlic when almost done with saute'.

Add the meat back into the pot and mix well with the onions and bell peppers. Add the tomatoes, sauce and paste and stir to mix through.

Add the chili powder, black pepper, salt and jalapeno pepper slices. Let simmer for about an hour over low heat but stir occasionally to make sure it's not sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Add the beans and let simmer to heat beans completely through(depending on the brand and quality of the canned beans you may need to let the chili cook a little longer so they aren't hard). Taste and add whatever seasoning you think it may need if you like it spicier.
Sometimes I add a lil cayenne pepper.

Note: The liquid from browning the ground beef I reduce(a good bit of water)and use enough to cook the onions and bell peppers down with. That fat is flavor.

If you end up with a really spicy chili try adding a dollop of sour cream in the middle of te bowl when serving. Gives it a mellowing richness.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the recipe , Looks Good !
As soon as a bit of cool weather passes our way I need to make a pot too .
