CHILI NO TOMATOES RECIPES

Steps:

• Chop the onion and chop or press the garlic. Preheat a large stock pot over medium heat, add the ground beef, onions and garlic. Sprinkle with seasonings and cocoa powder, and brown, stirring often, crumbling the meat as fine as you can get it.
• When the beef is done, add 1 gallon of water, the chipolte bouillon cubes, and red beans.
• Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to where it barely bubbles. Let cook until the beans are tender, but not mush, 6-8 hours.

Steps:

• In a big skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat.
• Add in the beef (in batches, if necessary); cook, turning often and adding more oil if needed, until meat is browned on all sides.
• Transfer to a 4 quart slow cooker.
• Add the remaining oil to the skillet; lower heat to medium.
• Add in the onions, bell peppers, and jalapenos; stir/saute for about 7 minutes or until onions are softened.
• Add in the chili powder, garlic, oregano, cumin, and salt; stir for 30 seconds.
• Remove skillet from heat; add in beer; stir, scrapping up the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet.
• Pour the vegetable mixture into the slow cooker.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or until meat is tender.
• Skim fat from the surface of the chili.
• Thicken the chili by stirring in the cornmeal and cooking uncovered, for 15 more minutes.
