John's Beanless Chili
You'll Need:
Ground Beef (large amount)
Chicken Breasts
Tomato Sauce (Ground, Crushed, whatever depending on texture desired)
Pork (optional)
Yellow Bell Pepper
Jalepeno Peppers (vary according to hotness desired)
Onions
Garlic (grinding the real stuff yourself is best)
Chili Powder
Cumin Seeds
Curry Powder
Pepper
Olive Oil
Instructions:
First cook the chicken and pork (if using) in a frying pan or on a grill. Then take a large pot (I use 12qt) and pour in some olive oil. Cook the ground beef in the large pot. If you use lean ground beef you don't have to drain the meat after cooking unless you want to.
Then add your tomato sauce to the ground beef. You'll want to turn your temperature to a low setting so that the mixture will simmer. Chop the onions and peppers to small peices and add to the pot. You should also add your garlic at this time. While this is cooking you can shred the chicken and pork. Add the shredded meat and stir. Then add the remaining spices to the mix. Allow this to cook for around 30 minutes before serving. Remember to keep stirring the pot. When serving you can also add your favorite cheese and saltine crackers.
