Dan's Spicy Chili
This is my own creation. i went through the cupboards one night and see what i had available for chili. this is what i came up with. i think it is very good.
Steps
Remember my recipes are just guidelines , not rules.
If you do not like something in it , remove it or substitute something else.
If you are going to use peppers , it is best to toast them in the broiler or over an open flame to burn the skins.
Optional: split them open and remove the veins and seeds.
Coarsely chop the onion.
Add the onion , garlic , and olive oil to a hot skillet.
Saut until the onions are translucent.
Add ground beef or stewing beef to the onions and garlic.
When the beef is browned , go ahead and drain grease if there is any.
Now add the 2 cups of water , tomato paste and diced tomatoes to the beef mixture.
Start adding your spices as the mixture comes to a low boil.
Lower your burner to simmer and add your beans.
Let simmer for 1 to 2 hours until desired thickness.
Optional: you can also transfer your chili to a slow cooker at this point and cook for an even longer period of time.
More fire: add some of your favorite hot sauce.
