TEXAS- RED CHILI CON CARNE
This recipe was given to my wife, Glenda, by Bob Keith, one of her old Houston friends, now deceased, a Montana native transplanted to Texas. I felt I had to include this recipe appease No-Bean chili afficionados and to offset my recipe for Texas Chil Beans. This IS a very good no-beans recipe, though I prefer to substitute 3-4 Poblano peppers for the bell peppers.

RED CHILE CON CARNE
This recipe produces the most FLAVORFUL red chile con carne that rivals any Mexican restaurant. Since it's made in the crockpot and uses prepared store-bought chili paste, it's super simple and foolproof! (Finding the chile paste is half the battle...I use a prepared chili paste that is found in the freezer section of most Arizona grocery stores, but it may not be available nationwide [I've had trouble finding it online]. If you can't find it at your grocery store, you're better off trying to make your own with dried New Mexico chile pods softened in hot water and processed till smooth [no salt or anything else should be added]...there are instructions everywhere online. Enchilada sauce is NOT a recommended substitution as it has flavorings and salt added. You just want pure chile paste.) Yield amount is approximate.

CHILE CON CARNE WITH RED BEANS
We LOVE this chili! Notice that the beans and beef are cooked together for an hour before the onions, scallions, garlic, jalapeño, and an assortment of herbs and spices are added; then the mixture is cooked for another hour. This gives the dish a fresher flavor than adding all the seasoning ingredients at the beginning. Spoon this soupy chili over boiled rice, with a salad of Romaine and a creamy yogurt dressing for a refreshing complimentary taste.
