DAN'S SPICY CHILI

Steps:

• Remember my recipes are just guidelines, not rules. If you do not like something in it, remove it or substitute something else.
• If you are going to use peppers, it is best to toast them in the broiler or over an open flame to burn the skins. Optional: Split them open and remove the veins and seeds (lower heat, fruitier flavor).
• Coarsely chop the onion.
• Add the onion, garlic, and olive oil to a hot skillet; sauté until the onions are translucent.
• Add ground beef or stewing beef to the onions and garlic.
• When the beef is browned, go ahead and drain grease if there is any.
• Now add the 2 cups of water, tomato paste and diced tomatoes to the beef mixture.
• Start adding your spices as the mixture comes to a low boil.
• Lower your burner to simmer and add your beans.
• Let simmer for 1 to 2 hours until desired thickness.
• Optional: You can also transfer your chili to a slow cooker at this point and cook for an even longer period of time.
• More Fire: Add some of your favorite hot sauce. I use something called Vicious Viper.
• Extra Veggies: I like to add a can of whole kernel corn, but any other veggie will work.

BEST DAMN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, bell pepper, Anaheim pepper, jalapeno peppers, and garlic in the hot oil until softened.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; add Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder. Crumble bouillon cubes over beef and add beer. Continue to cook , scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, until liquid is hot, about 3 minutes. Stir beef mixture into pepper mixture.
• Stir crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and wine to the beef mixture. Season with chili powder, 2 tablespoons cumin, brown sugar, pepper sauce, basil, paprika, salt, oregano, and black pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until meat and vegetables are very tender and flavors have developed in the chili, about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Mix kidney beans into beef and vegetables. Continue to simmer until beans are hot, about 30 minutes more.
• Blend sour cream, cilantro, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin in a food processor until smooth. Serve sour cream mixture with chili.
