Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 Tbsp bacon drippings
3 lb ground sirloin or beef chuck meat
2 - 6 oz cans tomato paste
1 - 14.5 oz beef broth or beef stock
1 large onion, chopped
1 small can(s) green chilies (optional)
1 - 10 oz rotel original diced tomatoes and green chilies
1- 8 oz rotel zesty tomato and green chili sauce (or tomato sauce of choice)
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 tsp oregano
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried basil
salt and black pepper to taste
3 1/2 Tbsp gebhardt chili powder
1/8 tsp hot paprika (optional)
3/4 c water, plus as needed for adjusted thickness
pinch of cayenne (ground red pepper) - optional
grated cheddar cheese or monterrey jack cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Heat drippings in heavy large pot over medium heat. Brown meat in drippings, adding chopped onions and garlic.
  • 2. Combine oregano, cumin, basil, salt, pepper, chili power, and paprika. Add to meat mixture.
  • 3. Stir in tomato paste, beef broth, Rotel, tomato sauce, water, and green chilies (if preferred). To adjust hotness to taste, you can add Cayenne for extra "punch". Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 to 2 hours to allow flavors to blend well. Add water as needed if chili becomes too thick for your preference. Note: The chili really is best if cooked for 2 hours for flavors to develop.
  • 4. Serve chili topped with grated cheese and more chopped onions. Approximately serves 4 - 6 people.
