Rich Brooks' Damn Good Chili image

This is my dad's "famous" chili. It is so meaty and yummy. It does not have any beans in it - like traditional Texas chili. The recipe can be cut in half for smaller families - or make the whole batch and freeze the unused portion or use leftovers for chili-cheese dip. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Time 3h35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 medium onions
1 medium green pepper
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 minced fresh garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon jalapeno, chopped
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 lbs ground round or 4 lbs other lean beef
8 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
salt and pepper
6 ounces beer
1 1/4 cups water
14 1/2 ounces stewed tomatoes, undrained
8 ounces tomato sauce
6 ounces tomato paste
4 ounces diced green chilies
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Chop the onions, peppers, celery stalk, jalapeno, and mince the garlic clove.
  • Heat the vegetable oil on med-high heat and saute the onions, peppers, celery stalk, jalapeno, and garlic until they are soft and onions are translucent.
  • Add the beef and continue cooking until the beef is no longer pink, adding salt and pepper to taste.
  • When finished cooking, spoon any excess oil from beef mixture and transfer the beef mixture to a soup/chili pot.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, garlic salt, hot sauce, salt and pepper, and the beer. Let it sit for a few minutes.
  • Add the chili powder mixture from the bowl to the beef mixture in the soup pot.
  • Next add the water, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced green chilies, and bay leaf to the pot.
  • Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • I serve it with shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream. It's also good with Fritos, crackers, or as just plain chili!

This chili is the best! It's got the perfect balance of spices and it's not too thick or too thin. I love serving it with some sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chili turned out bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This chili is a bit spicy, but it's so good! I love the combination of ground beef, sausage, and beans. It's the perfect meal for a cold winter day.

This chili was a bit too thick for my taste, but it was still very flavorful. I'll probably add more liquid next time.

I'm not a big fan of chili, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The chili was very flavorful and had just the right amount of spice. I served it with some cornbread and it was a delicious meal.

This chili was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best chili he's ever had. I'll probably make it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
