Categories     main-dish

Time 3h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

5 pounds beef brisket, cut in 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups chopped yellow onions
6 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, crushed
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 green peppers, seeded and diced
1 bay leaf
6 cups tomatoes, chopped with their liquid
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup strong coffee
Two 15-ounce cans kidney beans
2 tablespoons chopped basil leaves
Sour cream
Grated Cheddar
Diced tomato
Tortilla chips
Guacamole (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Pat the brisket cubes dry with paper towels. Heat the oil in a very large heavy-bottomed pot and quickly brown the meat, in batches, on all sides. Transfer the brisket to a separate bowl and set aside. Saute the onion and garlic in the same oil over medium heat until limp, but not brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the chili powder, pepper flakes, cayenne pepper and cumin and saute for 1 minute. Add the green peppers, bay leaf, tomatoes with their juice, the reserved meat, 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot with a tight fitting lid and simmer for 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste and season with salt, to taste. Add the coffee, cover the pot and simmer for 1 more hour.
  • Add the kidney beans and basil, and warm through. Transfer the chili to a large serving bowl and serve with sour cream, grated Cheddar, diced tomato, tortilla chips and guacamole.

DENISE'S CHILI



Denise's Chili image

I got this recipe from a co-worker. She told me that it's been a family recipe since the early 1950's. We gave it a try for dinner tonight and I must say that it was totally awesome! Although, I would have added some carrots and bell peppers but that's just me. Of course you can add extra veggies if you like. It's very easy, especially if you use can beans, and frozen diced onions. I used what she recommended which is the chili brick by XLNT, it is in most grocery stores. Check for it in the refridgerator isle of hot dogs, and breakfast links. It's typically a white package with red and black writing. Warning this recipe makes a TON of chili!!!!! She forgot to tell me to add one can of tomato paste to thicken up the chili if you like it thick. (I would start with the smallest can possible of the paste)
