This is a recipe I was introduced to by a neighbor when I was pregnant. I had just eaten supper but as a kind gesture for his labor, I aggreed to a small bowl as a taste test.
Well, 5 bowls later and bursting at the seams, I decided to take home the recipe. Which I did and made some the next day.
I ate this stuff during my pregnancy. I think it's why my son has such a hot temper at times.
At anyrate it has a rich hearty taste and you can be as flexable as you want with the ingredients and spices. Keep it mild with 2 peppers or go for max performance with several habaneros.
Doug and other Veggies -- Substitute the meat with ground tofu or veggie burgers.
Tex Mex Chili
2 - 2 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
2 cups chopped onion
2 cups chopped green pepper
2 or more chopped jalapeno peppers (I put about 5 or 6)
3 (15 oz.) cans diced or crushed tomatoes
4 (15 oz) cans tomatoe sauce
4 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. paprika
2 (30 oz.) cans kidney beans (drained)
Brown meat in a skillet and drain off excess fat. Add the onions and green peppers and saute'
until onions are tender.
In a very large cooking pot, put the sauteed mixture and add canned tomatoes, tomatoe
sauce, jalapeno peppers, and spices. Simmer on low heat for 2 hours. (DO NOT add kidney beans
at this time) Stir mixture occasionally. Add kidney beans about 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
Makes quite a bit but can be frozen in plastic containers.
Injoy!
