Debra, you been hanging out with XY "wash me mouth out with Borax"
Zebra?
Since I pulled you out of hiding, I've taken the liberty to slueth out the old Chili recipe for you. Enjoy while the nights are still crisp and the stock is percolating.....
"Sleep With No Blankets In The Dead of Winter Chili"
2 tbs. Olive Oil
1 Lb. coarsely ground sirloin (extra lean)
2 Lb. 1/4 " cubed sirloin steak, trimmed of fat
1 large Bermuda Onion Diced 1/4"
3 cloves of Garlic, minced
1 small can of tomato sauce
1- 28 0z can of whole tomatoes, slice tomatoes up and also use
juice
2- 14 oz cans of crushed tomatoes, Mexican style w/ jalapeno
peppers
1- 12oz can of beer, any kind (not Heiniken) ggg
2- beef bouillon cubes or tsp. of bouillon crystals
4 tbs. of Chile powder
1 tbs. Cumin
1 tbs. sugar
1 tsp. of black pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cilantro (dried)
1 small can of green chilies
2 dashes of cayenne pepper
2 dashes of Louisiana Hot Sauce
3 16 oz cans of dark red kidney beans (use all liquid)
Heat Index:
As is:Will barely warm your toes.
For more of a get to know yourself experience, add 3 dried red
peppers to float around during simmering process, but make sure
you remove before serving, or your mind will be altered,
abruptly. These 3 peppers add enough heat to warm the spirit and
clear the sinuses. Add or delete to your liking.
Kick it up a few notches to melt snow by substituting Habanero
peppers in place of the red Chile peppers, definitely remove from
Chile before serving or your eyeballs will resemble Marty
Feldmans's. Best to wrap in small cheesecloth pouch for easy
removal. Do not touch eyes after handling, or you will give new
meaning to a burning glare.
Heat olive oil in large skillet. Add sirloin, onion, and garlic,
brown meat. Drain fat (shouldn't be any if lean meat was used).
Place meat mixture in Dutch Oven or large heavy pot and add
canned tomatoes, tomato sauce and beer. Stir in all other
ingredients except beans. Cook over medium heat for 1 1/2 hours.
Twenty minutes before serving add beans and simmer.
I like to let it sit overnight, the acid from the tomatoes tenderize the meat even more, and lets the flavors meld together, then reheat and serve.
Top with chopped onion, grated sharp cheddar cheese, fresh
tomatoes, chopped green onion, or sour cream, and corn chips.
"Substituting turkey or chicken for the red meat works too, but somehow just isn't kosher" Jose "TEX" Steinberg
