This recipe was created by me! I have perfected the recipe many times over using various guinea pigs, and each time, they say it is better. This recipe has won a couple of chili cook-offs. It is a traditional recipe. You can cook it using beans or without. It is great regardless of how you cook it. I would serve it with grilled cheese sandwiches or mexican cornbread. Always top it with a little shredded cheese to difuse the heat! Ingredients:
1 lb hamburger or 1 lb ground chuck |
1 lb beef stew meat or 1 lb sirloin, chopped into bite size pieces |
1 1/2 large onions, chopped, about 1 1/2 to 2 cups |
3 garlic cloves, crushed |
1 (16 ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained |
1 (16 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
3 celery ribs, sliced, about 1 1/2 to 2 cups |
5 tablespoons chili powder |
3 teaspoons salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
1 teaspoon red pepper sauce |
1 (16 ounce) can chili beans (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cook and stir hamburger/ground chuck, stew/sirloin meat, onion and garlic in a large dutch oven until meat is light brown and onions are tender.
2. Drain grease from the pan.
3. Stir in tomatoes, celery, chili powder, salt, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper sauce. Heat to boiling; reduce heat.
4. Cover and simmer for at least one hour, preferably two.
5. If desired, add beans.
6. Heat to boiling, reduce heat.
7. Simmer until hot, about 15 minutes.
