Steve's Year-2000 Chili
This recipe was a HUGE hit when it was first introduced!
Ingredients
|
1-1/2 lbs. Extra lean ground beef 1 bottle (12 oz.) dark, strong beer 1 can (16 oz.) Italian-style diced tomatoes 1 can (16 oz.) Dark red kidney beans 1 jar (16 oz.) Salsa - Medium, chunky |
1 can (8 oz.) tomato paste 1 cup onion, chopped (about 1 large onion) 4 Tbsp. Chili powder (more or less) 2 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. ground cumin 1/4 tsp. black pepper (more or less to taste) |
Directions
|
In a large heavy pot (or a large Crock-Pot) combine the tomatoes, beans and tomato paste. Heat thoroughly. Brown the ground beef in a cast-iron skillet. Add the onion and sauté until tender. Pour in the salsa and add to this the Chili powder, sugar, cumin and pepper. Simmer until liquid is mostly gone. I usually add a little beer to the beef mix. It gives me an excuse to get one for myself! Add the meat to the simmering vegetables, and cook slowly. A bottle of beer may be added after 30 minutes. After a few hours (if everyone hasn't "sampled" it to death) serve with crackers, cheese and sour cream. Serve with more beer. |
Notes:
Please note that this chili will tarnish stainless utensils, and will destroy Teflon-coated cookware.
This will also permanently stain china dishware, and causes most people to sleep alone for a few days.
Leftovers are guaranteed to be hot & spicy the next day. Kids can't eat this stuff…
This recipe is Steve's own - and is NOT to be introduced in any sort of Cook-Off or other public event!
