16 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Chopped
  • 2 whole Sweet Onions, Diced
  • 2 whole Red Chilies, Thinly Sliced
  • 1 cup Other Various Chopped And Seeded Peppers
  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 cube Beef Bouillon
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 pounds Ground Beef
  • 16 ounces, weight Crushed Tomatoes
  • 1 can Tomato Paste, 6 Oz
  • 1-1/2 pound Fresh Tomatoes, Diced
  • 2 whole Bay Leaves
  • 4 cups Beans Cooked And Drained (I Used Homemade Great Northen And Pink Mixed, But Canned Would Work)
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Add the olive oil to a large sauce pan and heat. Saute the garlic and onion in the oil until they start to soften.
  2. 2
    Add the red chillies and 1 cup of chopped, seeded various peppers and cook for 2 minutes.
  3. 3
    Add the chili powder, beef bouillon, cumin, and Worcestershire sauce and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring well.
  4. 4
    Add the ground beef and brown.
  5. 5
    Now add all the other ingredients, stir and season with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down low, cover and cook for an hour, stirring occasionally.
  6. 6
    You can also put it in your crock pot to simmer. Don't forget to remove the bay leaves before serving. Serve with Fritos and cheese or cornbread or over a baked potato or turn it into chili mac. So many possibilities!
  7. 7
    I think this tastes better after leaving for a day or two. It freezes well and keeps well in the fridge.
  8. 8
    I left this pretty mild so our two young boys would eat it. If you like heat, add more red chilies!
