Total Time: 2 hrs Preparation Time: 1 hr Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 10
• 2 -3 lbs stew meat (or ground beef, deer is especially good too)
• 3 large green bell peppers (red or green combo looks nice, taste same)
• 3 medium onions
• 1 lb tomato (sliced or whole)
• 3 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 3 (23 ounce) cans ranch style beans or 3 (23 ounce) cans jalepeno ranch style beans
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup water (more or less as needed, not always necessary)
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic (2-3 cloves)
• 4 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1/2 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon onion salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoons oregano
• 1 tablespoon cajun spices (both if you want) or 1 tablespoon italian seasoning (both if you want)
• 1 teaspoon tabasco sauce (other brands are not guaranteed good taste!)
• 1/2 tablespoon red pepper (or black pepper if no crushed red pepper)

Recipe

• 1 dice up bell peppers and onions into small cubes.
• 2 boil stew meat until is light brown, only about 10 minutes (to start of boil).
• 3 if burger meat, just brown in a skillet. don’t fully cook.
• 4 if deer meat, drain and rinse off access stuff (deer people know what i mean).
• 5 in a fry pan, cook bell peppers, onions and garlic in cooking oil until onions are translucent.
• 6 combine all solid spices in a bowl.
• 7 in a large pot, add spices and all other ingredients together.
• 8 you may need to add a tad bit of water, so the spices combine correctly.
• 9 cook on low heat, enough to make it bubble a little, for about an hour with pot covered.
• 10 constantly check and stir. heavy stuff goes to bottom. don’t want it to burn.
• 11 then simmer with pot uncovered until chili thickens. again, keep and eye on it and stir.
• 12 makes some pretty darn good chili. looks real hot, but actually a good winter body warmer if amounts are followed just right.
• 13 to lessen up on the “heatâ€?, you can leave out the hot sauce, red peppers, and jalepeno’s.
• 14 taste great covered with cheese and sopped up with jalapeno cornbread.
