This recipe comes from Jane Butel's Chili Madness cookbook. I tried several of her recipes, but after I tried this one, I didn't make another, because this was SO good!! The cheese is the secret ingredient--it gives it such a smooth, rich flavor.

Time 3h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 lb suet or 1/4 cup cooking oil
1 lb beef round steak, coarse chili grind
1 lb beef chuck, coarse chili grind
8 ounces can tomato sauce
12 ounces beer
2 tablespoons crushed red chili peppers
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 lb monterey jack cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Melt suet or heat the oil in a heavy 3-quart (or larger) pot over medium-high heat.
  • Remove the unrendered suet and crumble meat into the pot. Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally. until meat is evenly browned.
  • Add tomato sauce, beer, crushed red chile, garlic, onion, oregano, paprika, 1 teaspoons of the cumin, and salt. Stir to blend and bring to a boil.
  • Lower heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings, adding cayenne pepper.
  • Simmer uncovered 1 hour longer.
  • Stir in the cheese and the remaining 1/2 teaspoons cumin.
  • Simmer 1/2 hour longer, stirring often to keep cheese from burning.
  • I serve the chili with sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese to garnish, and warm cornbread on the side.
  • The cookbook actually called for 1/4 cup of crushed red chile pepper, but unless you have a taste for fire, use less! I use half that amount, and I really like hot food.
