CARROLL SHELBY'S CHILI
This recipe comes from Jane Butel's Chili Madness cookbook. I tried several of her recipes, but after I tried this one, I didn't make another, because this was SO good!! The cheese is the secret ingredient--it gives it such a smooth, rich flavor.

Steps:
- Melt suet or heat the oil in a heavy 3-quart (or larger) pot over medium-high heat.
- Remove the unrendered suet and crumble meat into the pot. Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally. until meat is evenly browned.
- Add tomato sauce, beer, crushed red chile, garlic, onion, oregano, paprika, 1 teaspoons of the cumin, and salt. Stir to blend and bring to a boil.
- Lower heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
- Taste and adjust seasonings, adding cayenne pepper.
- Simmer uncovered 1 hour longer.
- Stir in the cheese and the remaining 1/2 teaspoons cumin.
- Simmer 1/2 hour longer, stirring often to keep cheese from burning.
- I serve the chili with sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese to garnish, and warm cornbread on the side.
- The cookbook actually called for 1/4 cup of crushed red chile pepper, but unless you have a taste for fire, use less! I use half that amount, and I really like hot food.

Steps:
- Brown ground beef in large pot. Remove from pot with slotted spoon and set aside; add green pepper and onions and cook about 5 - 6 minutes. Drain peppers and onions. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, spice packet to pot and stir. Add ground beef. Stir and simmer on medium low heat for 30 minutes. Add beans and cook on low for 1 hour. Mix mesa flour from kit with water to make a paste and add to chili; bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. You may need to add water to get the proper consistency.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your chili. Look for ripe tomatoes, flavorful peppers, and a good quality ground beef.
- Brown the beef well: Browning the beef helps to develop its flavor and gives the chili a richer taste. Be sure to brown the beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to break up the beef into small pieces.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the beef will not brown properly and the chili will be watery. Be sure to use a large enough pot or Dutch oven to accommodate all of the ingredients.
- Use a variety of beans: Different beans offer different flavors and textures. For a classic chili, try using a combination of kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans. You can also add other beans, such as chickpeas, lentils, or white beans.
- Add spices and seasonings to taste: Chili is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Common spices and seasonings used in chili include chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper. Be sure to taste the chili as you cook it and adjust the seasonings as needed.
