1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 16 ounce can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 10 ounce package whole kernel corn, frozen, thawed
1 16 ounce can tomato sauce
1 16 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 4 ounce can chopped chilies
2 tablespoons chili powder

Corn Bread Biscuits:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream

In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook beef, onion and green pepper until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Beat egg, milk and sour cream until smooth, stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Transfer chili to an ungreased 13 by 9 by 2 inch baking dish.
Drop batter by heaping teaspoonfuls onto hot chili. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 15 to 17 minutes or until biscuits are lightly browned.

Real Texas Chili is the best- just great meat and seasonings with the "extras" on the side. And if you ever do get some venison, soak it overnight in beer, drain, and substitute for the beef. Texas Bowl of Red 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 large onions, coarsely chopped 5 cloves garlic, crushed 2 to 2 1/2 pounds lean boneless beef, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 3 tablespoons Gebhardt chili powder 1 tablespoon paprika 1 teaspoon crushed dried hot peppers 2 teaspoons cumin 2 teaspoons Mexican oregano 1 cup hot water 1 teaspoon salt 1 to 2 tablespoons Masa Harina In a large Dutch oven heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute until very lightly browned. Add the beef cubes in several batches and brown on all sides. When all the beef is browned, add all remaining ingredients except the Masa Harina. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook over low heat for 3 to 4 hours until the meat is very tender. If too much of the liquid cooks away, add some more hot water during the cooking. Adjust salt and chili powder, adding more to taste if desired. To thicken the chili, mix the Masa Harina with a little cold water, then add this to the chili while it is still simmering. Cook the chili 10 to 15 minutes longer. Serve the chili in bowls with saltines and cooked pinto beans on the side

If you just want a change, try this. Get a small pork loin roast, onions, a can of nopales (cactus), and 2 cans of (I'm having a senior moment. It's chili sauce, but it's green. Ask the grocer. I'm old. It comes in a yellow and red can if that helps.) chili "stuff". Cube the roast, dice the onions, open the can of cactus and peel the outer skin off and dice. Fry the roast and onions. When it's browned, add the nopales and 2 cans of "stuff". A little crushed garlic would be nice, too. Cover the pan and simmer for about a half hour. It has a fresh, clean taste and is a welcome change.

Here is one that is deliciously different. Give it a try!

Three Bean Enchilada Chili - three times the flavor plus a secret ingredient that makes this a secret recipe!

This chili recipe is a "secret" recipe because it specifically calls for Ancho chile powder, and it does make a difference.

And this chili recipe is also somewhat unusual because it uses an enchilada sauce instead of tomatoes!

The Ancho is a dried poblano chile which is then ground into powder. Ancho chiles have a mild, fruity and slightly sweet taste. They start out as fresh green poblano chiles and after being ripened to red and then dried, they become shriveled, smoky and dark brown in color. Left to dry, the chiles can be crushed and made into spice powder or used to season chili and other Mexican dishes such as mole and tacos.

Three Bean Enchilada Chili Recipe

One 15-16 ounce can of pinto beans, rinsed and drained
One 15-16 ounce can red or kidney beans, rinsed and drained
One 15-16 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder (use ancho - it makes a difference and makes this a secret recipe)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
1 cup (or to taste) Cheddar or Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup (or to taste) Green onions, chopped

Instructions:

Answer 5

This one is really tasty:

2 lbs. ground meat
1 can kidney beans
1 can ranch-style pinto beans w/jalapenos
1 can diced tomatoes
12 oz tomato sauce
2 med. size onion chopped into rings
6 tbsp. chili powder(you can adjust less or more, depending on how you like it)
1 can beer(this might seem weird, but it adds a unique flavor to the chili)

Cook the meat and throw all ingredients in a pot. You might have to put some water, but not too much. Let it simmer for 1 1/2-2 hrs.

Hope you like it!

Answer 6

I made this last week and it was AWESOME!

I used 1 pound of good quality ground beef and browned it with onions, garlic, red and green bell peppers and spices (ground chipotle, seasoned salt, cumin, chili powder with cayenne and fresh ground pepper).

You can leave out the chipotle, because that is HOT. Also, use the seasonings to your taste...I like spicy.

In the pot, I added 1 chopped, fresh tomato, 1 can of tomato paste (I like thick, not soupy), 2 cans of red beans and some cocoa. I added the meat, stirred and simmered for 2 hours.
