Today we have a guest contributor. I am spending the Christmas holidays with my brother and his family in Texas. My brother Tony is a really good cook. I guess it runs in the family. Last night he made chili for us. I've had his chili many times and it is always awesome.
He claims the secret is the cast iron pot he uses. He says it tastes and looks different if made in another pot. I've made it in my own anodized aluminum stock pot at home and it still tastes wonderful.
Tony's Chili
1 lb beef stew meat
1 lb. ground beef
1 large white onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
8 ounces spicy V8 tomato juice
1 8 ounce bottle of beer
1 ( 15 oz.) can tomato sauce
2 T chili powder
1 T cumin
1 T oregano
1 t salt
1/2 t pepper
1 T paprika ( smoked variety really good here)
1 ounce chocolate or 1 T sugar
1 T corn flour
2 T corn meal
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 can plain diced tomatoes
1 can red chili beans
1 can black beans
3 stalks celery
1 red bell pepper chopped
Add all the ingredients except the beans to a stock pot. Bring to a boil and then turn down the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 1 hours. Add the beans and heat for 30 minutes. Serve in bowls with sour cream and grated cheddar cheese.
Serves 6
