Texas- Red Chili Con Carne image

This recipe was given to my wife, Glenda, by Bob Keith, one of her old Houston friends, now deceased, a Montana native transplanted to Texas. I felt I had to include this recipe appease No-Bean chili afficionados and to offset my recipe for Texas Chil Beans. This IS a very good no-beans recipe, though I prefer to substitute 3-4 Poblano peppers for the bell peppers.

I made this chili for my book club meeting, and everyone raved about it. It was the perfect level of spiciness, and the beef was so tender. I'll definitely be making it again for my next party.

This chili is the perfect way to use up leftover ground beef. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I like to serve it with rice and a side of guacamole.
