This recipe for sweet and spicy chili is the result of much experimenting. I knew I had perfected it when my husband took a pot to work, where one guy ate five bowls himself!

Ingredients:

3/4 pound beef sirloin tip steak, cubed

2 tablespoons canola oil

1 pound ground turkey or beef

2 medium onions, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

4 cans (16 ounces each) kidney beans, rinsed and drained

3 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes with mild green chilies, undrained

2 cans (6 ounces each) tomato paste

1 can (12 ounces) root beer

1 cup strong brewed coffee

1 cup beef broth

2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

3 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon baking cocoa

1 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon creole seasoning

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions:

1. In a Dutch oven, brown steak in oil. Remove and set aside. Add the ground beef, onions and garlic to the pan; cook and stir over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Drain.
2. Return steak to the pan; stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, for 2 hours or until beef is tender. Yield: 13 servings (1 cup each).
