Evening fellas and non fellas. Been cool mornings here in middle Tennessee for about the last 3 days so chili was calling my name. I've been making this recipe and tweaking for the last 15 years. 7 years in a row I'm church chili champion. This year will be 8 lol. All jokes aside we love this and so does anyone we share it with. I'm gonna give my recipe. I don't wanna but I've been drinking. Here goes........btw don't share with my church folk lol.
I start off by dicing a large onion. Got 2.5lb of 90/10 beef going in a skillet. Any beef works for this. I've used deer, moose, buffalo. All works well. Added half the onion to the beef and cooked till done
Then drain. After that I Brown 1.5lb hot ground sausage and the remaining onion
Placed all meat in my pot with one 12oz beer, 3c of water,8oz tomato sauce, 5 cloves minced garlic and a few dashes of louisiana hot sauce. Then add in the spices
•3T chili powder
•6 beef bouillon cubes or 2T better than bouillon
•2T cumin
•2t paprika
•2t oregano leaves
•1t unsweetened cocoa
•2t white sugar
•.5t coriander
All into the pot with everything else. Stirred up and bring to a boil
After an hour covered added 2 cans of kidney beans. The Texans will raise issue with this and say it's not chili. Luckily I'm not a Texan I'm an American so this is perfect. Beans mixed in
Let it simmer for a couple more hours or how long ever you want. This is getting close
Made me a bowl. Fritos in the bottom. Extra sharp cheddar, sour cream and green onions
For all you chili fans out there you won't be disappointed by this recipe. It's spicy but not hot. I love it. Chili dogs tomorrow!
