Time 8h20m

Yield 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 17

olive oil
salt and pepper
2 lbs stewing beef
2 yellow onions, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 jalapenos, diced
14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes, can
15 ounces tomato sauce, can
6 ounces tomato paste, can
7 ounces diced green chilies, can
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons cumin
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning (see Cajun Seasoning Mix by Mirj2338)
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (trust me you won't be sorry)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (standard paprika can be substituted)
1 cup water

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet brown the meat in olive oil, add salt and pepper to taste, move the browned meat to the crock pot. .
  • Brown the diced onion and minced garlic in the same pan and add to the crock pot.
  • Stir in the diced jalapenos, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced green chilies, cumin, chili powder, cajun seasoning, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, smoked paprika, and water.
  • Cook 4 hours on high or 7-8 hours on low -- until the meat is very tender.
  • For more spice-heat use additional jalapenos or substitute a spicier chili. Since it's chili I assume you don't want less spice-heat so no instructions needed :).
  • Toppings: grated cheese, sour cream, green onions. Don't be afraid to add your favorite hot sauce if you want even more spice-heat. If you really like heat try my personal favorite - Melinda's Naga Jolokia, but be careful :).
  • Eat with: corn bread, flour tortillas, good bread, your favorite beer.

BEST NO-BEAN CHILI



Best No-Bean Chili image

Perfect for people who love using their slow cookers. I've tried many chili recipes but this one is the best ever! You can substitute beans for the cornmeal, but I think it takes away from the taste and the smooth texture. I recommend opening a second bottle of porter beer and drink it while cooking this tasty dish! Yum!
