Chile Con Carne With Red Beans

We love this chili! Notice that the beans and beef are cooked together for an hour before the onions, scallions, garlic, jalapeño, and an assortment of herbs and spices are added; then the mixture is cooked for another hour. This gives the dish a fresher flavor than adding all the seasoning ingredients at the beginning. Spoon this soupy chili over boiled rice, with a salad of romaine and a creamy yogurt dressing for a refreshing complimentary taste.

Steps

Sort through the beans , removing and discarding any damaged ones , and rinse in a sieve under cold water.
Place the beans , beef , salt , and water in a stockpot , and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to low , cover , and boil gently for 1 hour.
Add the onions , scallions , garlic , jalapeo , tomatoes , thyme , cumin , chili powder , bay leaves , and cilantro stems.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat , reduce the heat to low , cover , and boil gently for an hour.
