Rich Brooks' Damn Good Chili image

This is my dad's "famous" chili. It is so meaty and yummy. It does not have any beans in it - like traditional Texas chili. The recipe can be cut in half for smaller families - or make the whole batch and freeze the unused portion or use leftovers for chili-cheese dip. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Time 3h35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 medium onions
1 medium green pepper
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 minced fresh garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon jalapeno, chopped
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 lbs ground round or 4 lbs other lean beef
8 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
salt and pepper
6 ounces beer
1 1/4 cups water
14 1/2 ounces stewed tomatoes, undrained
8 ounces tomato sauce
6 ounces tomato paste
4 ounces diced green chilies
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Chop the onions, peppers, celery stalk, jalapeno, and mince the garlic clove.
  • Heat the vegetable oil on med-high heat and saute the onions, peppers, celery stalk, jalapeno, and garlic until they are soft and onions are translucent.
  • Add the beef and continue cooking until the beef is no longer pink, adding salt and pepper to taste.
  • When finished cooking, spoon any excess oil from beef mixture and transfer the beef mixture to a soup/chili pot.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, garlic salt, hot sauce, salt and pepper, and the beer. Let it sit for a few minutes.
  • Add the chili powder mixture from the bowl to the beef mixture in the soup pot.
  • Next add the water, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced green chilies, and bay leaf to the pot.
  • Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • I serve it with shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream. It's also good with Fritos, crackers, or as just plain chili!
