FRED'S RED HOT CHILI CON CARNE

Steps:

• If you are using dried beans, put beans in a large pot of cold water (about 7 cups of water) and let them soak eight hours or overnight. Drain the water out and rinse the beans. (This is very important!) Put the beans back in the pot with about 6 cups of water and ½ tablespoon of olive oil. Bring beans to a boil. Lower heat, and simmer low, covered for 2 ½ hrs. Check the beans every half hour or so, careful not to burn beans. Drain the water, again add 2 cups fresh water, ½ tablespoon of olive oil, and set aside. If you are using canned beans, drain any liquid from beans, put beans in boiling pot and set aside. Put about a tablespoon of olive oil and meat into skillet and brown it. Add meat to the bean pot. Put onion, garlic, chili peppers and bell pepper in skillet, with 1 teaspoon olive oil, and sauté with ONE of the chili seasoning packets, until onions are caramelized and garlic and peppers are browned, and then put this mixture into the bean pot. Add ALL the other ingredients to the pot, add a little water if needed, it should be like soup at this stage, and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low (check and stir every ½ hour or so, careful that the beans do not burn) about 2 ½ hours until beans and meat are tender and chili thickens. Serve with corn bread, muffins or tortilla chips and a salad. Garnish with grated sharp cheddar cheese or sour cream. Serves about 12 half cup servings.
