Time 1h20m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb ground beef
1 (16 ounce) package Jimmy Dean sausage
4 (29 ounce) cans whole canned tomatoes (cut into fourths or eighths)
1 (29 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans (washed)
1 (16 ounce) can black beans (washed)
1 red onion, chopped
6 jalapeno peppers, chopped
3 serrano peppers, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons Tony Chachere's Seasoning
3 tablespoons smoked paprika
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons cumin
1 tablespoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Call friends and family, let them know you are about to make some awesome Chili, and to be in your kitchen in about an hour.
  • Before the stampede, grab a large (8qt) pot and brown the sausage on high heat (do not drain). The idea here is to get some good browning/sear in the pan so don't fret if it sticks to the bottom, that's the idea. Just don't go overboard and burn it.
  • Throw in the celery, onion and garlic, cover, reduce heat and let it do it's thing for 10 minutes at least. stir frequently.
  • In a separate pan, brown the ground beef (drain) and add it to the pot.
  • Everything else goes in! Be sure to include all the juice from the whole-tomato cans, and I like to cut them very chunky (no more than 3 cuts per tomato) for easy eating.
  • Let it come together at a high simmer for about an hour, less if you can't wait.
