Cha-Cha Chili image

This recipe has just evolved over the years. It's more of stew than a chili in my opinion. Everyone always loves it. You can make it as hot or as mild as you family likes. We usually have crackers or cornbread with it.

Steps:

  • Cook meat, add onion, celery and poblano about halfway through.
  • You may have to a dd a little oil if it starts to stick.
  • Add salt and pepper to meat so it will not be bland, we are building flavors here.

  • Sprinkle McCormicks (packaged chili mix) and chili powder over meat and veggies and stir well.
  • Cook over medium heat for a minute or so.
  • Pour in chicken stock, canned tomatoes with juice and add chipoltles (this is how you control the heat), if using.
  • Cook down for 15 or 20 minutes.
  • Add rinsed beans and corn (with juice).
  • To make this a soup: Add 2 more cans of stock.
  • Top with green onion, cheese and sour cream.
