BEEF CHILI WITH KIDNEY BEANS

SOURCE INSIDE AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN I found this on the web and made some changes. Good choices for condiments include diced fresh tomatoes, diced avocado, sliced scallions, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro leaves, sour cream, and shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese. If you are a fan of spicy food, consider using a little more of the red pepper flakes or cayenne--or both. The flavor of the chili improves with age; if possible, make it a day or up to five days in advance and reheat before serving. Leftovers can be frozen for up to a month. Substitute beer or bourbon for water.

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons vegetable corn oil
2 medium onions, chopped fine (about 2 cups)

6 medium garlic cloves, minced (about 2 TBSP)
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
