2 tsp salt
1-1/2 tsp black pepper
1-1/2 tsp ground cumin

  • 3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Brown the chuck and pork pieces, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.Stir in chili powder and reserved onion mixture.. Cook for 10 minutes. Add meat and onion mixture. Season with salt pepper and cumin. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Remove cover and cook 30 minutes longer. Skim any fat off the top. You could serve now. BUT Chasen would let it cool, then covered and put in the cooler...overnight,for the flavors to blend. Like we do spaghetti or stews, always better the next day!

Like some of us, add COCOA to our chili! **If you want to, use ground beef and pork. ***CREDITS:Liz picture from: VilliageVoice.com Spice picture:from: Cookslight.com CHASEN'S CHILI pic.from:dearoldhollywoodblogspot.com ..........Nancy...10/20/12
