TEXAS BEEF CHILI

3 medium onions, chopped
8 garlic cloves

6 oz tomato paste

Toss meat with 3 T. olive oil and 2 T. chili powder in non-aluminum
bowl. Let stand in refrigerator overnight.

Heat 3 T. oil in large, heavy skillet over med-hi heat. Brown the
meat in batches (do not crowd) on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Transfer to a large pot, using slotted spoon. Add chorizo to skillet
and brown well. Transfer to pot using slotted spoon. Reduce heat to
med-lo. Add more oil to skillet, if necessary. Add onions and cook
until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder,
oregano, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir 3 minutes then transfer to
pot. Stir in tomatoes, beer and tomato paste. Bring to a boil then
reduce heat. Cover and simmer until meat is very tender, stirring
occasionally, about 3 hours. Uncover during last hour if necessary
to thicken liquid into sauce.

Some good accompaniments are pinto beans and salsa as side dishes.

Serves 6 generously.

Answer 3

chili my way

1 pound roll of sausage
2-3 pounds of lean hamburger or ground chuck
1 pkg sliced and quartered brats
(and any other meat in the beef and pork arena if you want)
1 large onion, chopped
1 pkg of William's seasoning mix
1 24 oz. jar of salsa(I prefer medium heat)
2-3 cans of kidney beans

Brown sausage and brats if they are sausage, draining grease.
Brown beef with the onion in dutch oven and and if there is alot of grease at bottom of pan drain just a little and add sausage.
Stir in the contents of the William's seasoning mix. Add the jar of salsa, stirring; and add the kidney beans. Add 1 can of water. Stir well.
Bring to a boil, keep stirring so it doesn't burn. Turn the heat down to a simmer for about 2 hours,stirring constantly. It is best when it has been made the day or night before.
