Answer 1

Here is one that my Dad found. Be VERY careful it can get out of control with the Jalapenos! But boy is it good!

El Cid Chili

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/2 pound ground beef
• 12 ounces chorizo sausage, casing removed, cut into 1/2 cubes
• 1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup chili powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 2 (14.5-ounce) cans beef broth
• 2 (14.5-ounce) cans whole tomatoes, drained
• 1 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 3 bay leaves
• 2 green jalapenos, slit lengthwise 3 times each
• 1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Garnish with Cheddar and sour cream
Method:
Place oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Brown the sirloin in batches. Remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Add ground beef, chorizo and onions to the pot and brown. Make sure to break up the meat. Return sirloin to the pot. Stir in remaining ingredients, except for garnishes. Cut three slits in each pepper from top to bottom but not all the way through to the bottom. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 2 hours. Stir occasionally, breaking up tomatoes. Before serving, discard cinnamon stick, bay leaves and jalapenos. Garnish, if desired.

Answer 2

My boyfriend's parents own a farm with a huge garden so every year I freeze 2 cup bags of chopped tomatoes, onions & garlic mixed together. Brown 1 lb hamburger and/or sausage with 1 onion chopped, then drain. In small stockpot, add meat, 2 cups chopped or thawed tomatos, 1 can chili beans & 1 pkg of your favorite chili seasoning ( I use the one in the brown bag in the meat section) Slowly pour in 2/3 can of beer & add 1 stick butter and 1 tsp cinnamon. Simmer over low heat for a couple hours, stirring every so often. Serve with homemade cornbread.

This is one that I have been making for about 10 years. It is a little daunting to look at but worth the work. I adjust the fresh peppers depending on how hot they are

1/3 cup cumin seed
2 tbs coriander seed
2 ancho chiles (dried)
2 mulato chiles (dried)
4 pasilla chiles (dried)
4 lbs chuck roast cut into cubes
1/2 lb bacon cut in to strips
1/2 lb diced ham
1 1/2 tbs corn oil
2 lbs onions (sweet) diced
3/4 cup celery diced
1 cup ancho chile powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
3 bay leaves
3 jalapeno peppers (seeded and minced)
3 serrano peppers (seeded and minced)
1 small can chipotles in adobo sauce chopped
2 smoked ham hocks
2 cans (35 oz) italian tomatoes drained
1/2 cup golden tequila
2 cups beef stock
1/2 tsp rosemary
1 tsp oregano

preheat oven 500
in a skillet toast the cumin and coriander seed until you can smell it. Remove and grind.

Toast the dried peppers in the oven on a cookie sheet until the puff up. Remove from oven, deseed and grind to a powder

In a very large stock pot heat oil, beef, bacon and ham until fat is rendered. Add onions and cook until tender. Add celery, ground chiles and ancho chile powder and cook until celery is soft. Add remaining ingredients simmer on low for 4 hours. In the last hour if desired add 2 large cans of dark kidney beans with their juices

Answer 8

ooooh i have been waiting for someone to ask me this!!! check out my recipe on this site: http://www.recipezaar.com/194815

nobody has reviewed it yet, probably because it may sound strange to some, but everyone that i have made it for absolutely LOVES it! If you dont like it too hot, just replace the habanero with jalapeno or another less spicy pepper. Enjoy!
