POP'S CHILLI

Steps:

• 1. Slice peppers, jalapeño, shallots and celery add garlic and oil and sauté until peppers are soft then put aside.
• 2. Brown meat and drain then add all the vegetables and tomato paste and Sauté for 2 minutes. If you love meat add 1 pound of chuck roast cut it into cubes and add to mixture when you sauté tomato paste.
• 3. Add all dry ingredients, crushed Tomato's, tomato sauce, stewed tomato's Stir well, cover and simmer on low heat for 1 hour. Check and stir often. Do not put on high heat because it will burn. I recommend using Cast Iron pot with lid. Everything tastes better in Cast Iron Serve over elbow noodles. Add 1/2 hour simmer time if chuck roast is used.
• 4. About halfway thru cook time drain beans and add to pot. For more taste and kick add 1/4 cup of chipotle hot sauce defiantly makes the sauce taste better but is optional.

THE BEST CHILI

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until just browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
• Add the jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the cooked ground beef and any accumulated liquid, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the chili, partially covered, until the beef is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in the beans and their liquid and simmer uncovered until the beans are softened and the chili is thickened, about 30 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
• Top with sour cream, Cheddar and scallions. Serve with tortilla chips.
