  • Tex Mex Chili

    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.

    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!

    That sounds good Deb. We had tacos tonight, and they were semi-hot. They were too hot for my wife's taste, but I added leftover hot jalapenos to mine. I think I'll try this recipe one day when she's not around, so she doesn't give me any bad mouthing about how I make it. One question --- where's the cumin?

      You know, I even pulled Cumin out of the cupboard with the other spices and thought the same thing. But I looked for how much and it wasn't on the recipe. Hey, throw some in. Like I said, you can be as flexable as you want. It certainly won't hurt the taste for sure.

        DJ,

        That looks like a mighty tasty recipe! I'll have to try that one out for dinner next week. It's always good to have a great chili recipe on hand!

        Keep it mild with 2 peppers or go for max performance with several habaneros.
        As for the habaneros, I watched that Fear Factor show where they had to eat habanero peppers and I could tell from their expression of pain that those are EXTREMELY HOT peppers so I may stick with the regular ones!

          My son would never eat hot things and in middle school a friend gave him a hybrid habanero which he thought was a small fruit of some kind. He was struggling to breath after eating that thing and his eyes were watering. I think that was dangerous. But after that he eats hot stuff no problem.

          Remember it makes a serious amount T but like I said, you can freeze it for future quick meal.

          Hey T, you're flapping so hard there I can feel the breeze off your wings. Has Rondon done his magic on you too?

            I love Rondon's animations, but I know how to make animations as well so I made my own....didn't want to be left out and I like my little dragonfly. I thought about making the wings flap slower DJ, but then my little insect would fall to the ground.

              Just a note. I made a slight correction on the recipe. For the kidney beans you need to drain them or you will have a more soupy chili.

              T, I think it's flapping like a dragon fly is supposed to flap. Any slower and it would be a bird.

                looks good... and just about how I usually make it...... I go light on the cumming as well... seems to take over...
                by the way this is a good recipe to put a few drops of that LIQUID SMOKE" into.

                    Rondon,

                    I take it from the fish gobbling up my dragonfly that you weren’t happy that I made my own animation…

                    Too cute! You are very talented.

                      Everyone has a cookbook -- why shouldn't we? (This coming from a guy who knows how to burn water) . My wife is a good cook, but she doesn't use recipes most of the time. So I won't be able to give recipes except for the ones I find in her cookbooks after I wipe the dust off of them. If you have...

                      It looks as if most people on the site either don't like to eat or don't like to cook. Here's a recipe for doggie treats!

                      you probably wouldn't think of putting
                      chocolate and carrots in the same food,
                      but this is sooooo good.

                      OK since I see there are some vegetarians onboard, I think this may do well here. We are not all vegetarians at our house but the taste is so good it doesn't matter. It's the only lasagna I make. It does make an awful lot but I usually cut it up and freeze it for individual meals.

                      I'm the last one that should give recipes, being both a bachelor and a vegetarian, but here's one of the very few things I actually cook from scratch:
