1/2 lb dried pinto beans
2=16 oz cans of crushed tomatoes
1 lb green bell peppers,.. cored, seeded and coarsley chopped
1-1 /2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1-1/2 lb onions, ...coarsley chopped
2 clove garlic, .... crushed
1/2 c parsley,.... finely chopped
1/2 c butter (1 stick)
2-1/2 lb chuck steak....cut into small pieces
1 lb lean pork.......cut into small pieces
1/2 c chili powder
2 tsp salt
1-1/2 tsp black pepper
1-1/2 tsp ground cumin

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse beans.Place in a large bowl add enough water to cover them by 2 inches. Soak overnight. The next day place beans and soaking water in a large, heavy pot. Then simmer, covered, until tender, about40 minutes. Add tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • 2. In a large skillet,over medium heat, saute green peppersin veg oil for 5 minutes. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 10 minutes..Add garlic and parsley. Remove from heat and pour into a large bowl.
  • 3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Brown the chuck and pork pieces, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.Stir in chili powder and reserved onion mixture.. Cook for 10 minutes. Add meat and onion mixture. Season with salt pepper and cumin. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Remove cover and cook 30 minutes longer. Skim any fat off the top. You could serve now. BUT Chasen would let it cool, then covered and put in the cooler...overnight,for the flavors to blend. Like we do spaghetti or stews, always better the next day!
  • 4. *NOTE:Often Chasen would enter the restaurant to o versee the cooking, and then would add his "SECRET INGREDIENT"...1/2 cup of KAHLUA! Like some of us, add COCOA to our chili! **If you want to, use ground beef and pork. ***CREDITS:Liz picture from: VilliageVoice.com Spice picture:from: Cookslight.com CHASEN'S CHILI pic.from:dearoldhollywoodblogspot.com ..........Nancy...10/20/12

I'm not a big fan of chili, but this recipe was actually pretty good. I especially liked the addition of the chocolate.

This chili is a little spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chipotle peppers.
