IT'S CHILI BY GEORGE!!

Steps:

• Place ground beef in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, and crumble.
• In a large pot over high heat combine the ground beef, tomato juice, tomato sauce, kidney beans, pinto beans, onions, bell pepper, cayenne pepper, sugar, oregano, ground black pepper, salt, cumin and chili powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours. (Note: If using a slow cooker, set on low, add ingredients, and cook for 8 to 10 hours.)

GORDY'S FRESH HOMEMADE CHILI

Steps:

• Put the chopped green peppers, chopped celery and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cover and saute for 20 minutes, stirring several times during the cooking.
• Chunk the ground beef with your hands and put it into a frying pan over medium heat.
• Add the chopped onions, and season with the salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the meat has browned and is fully cooked, about 1/2 hour. In a large soup pot or kettle, add the beef and onions, celery and peppers, the chili powder, diced tomatoes with juice, chili sauce, kidney beans with all the juice, the 1/4 cup salt and 1/4 cup of pepper. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer the chili for 45 minutes.
• It will lose its chunkiness and mellow in flavor the longer you cook it. Keep it on all day, if you like, stirring it from time to time.
• Serve in a large bowl garnished with grated Cheddar and freshly chopped onions. Add your favorite pepper sauce for some heat.

THE GENERAL'S CHILI

Steps:

• Fry, then crumble the sausage.
• Add all ingredients except crumbled sausage and beef to a stockpot, bring to a boil. Add the beef a little at a time, so that the pieces don't stick together, and reduce to a medium simmer for about 1 hour or until beef cubes are almost tender, stirring every 15 minutes.
• Add crumbled sausage and reduce heat to a low simmer until beef cubes are tender, another ½ to 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
• The wheat bran flakes add no taste, but makes the chili thicker, and the fiber content is good for digestion.
• Most chili recipes use coarsely ground beef. This one uses ¼ inch cubes of beef, which would be like very, very coarsely ground beef. It gives the dish a unique heavier texture, and this recipe is a little soupier than most chili recipes. I now use a #22 meat grinder with a grinder plate that has 3/4 inch holes to grind the beef instead of spending the lengthy time to dice the beef into 1/4 inch cubes.

• Add tomatoes and simmer 15 minutes longer; then add kidney beans and simmer a few minutes more or until beans are tender.

GEORGE'S WHITE CHICKEN CHILI RECIPE

Steps:

• Follow the basic instructions on the box. After the chicken cooks a bit I add the onion and chilies and cook them both together. Cut the amount of water in half and use the chicken broth for the other half. Add the corn and shredded Jack when you add the packets. The cheese takes a lot of stirring to get it mixed in. Use the cayenne packet to taste, I use about half. I use half the Massa packet, but that is cooks preference depending on how thick you want the final product. I found it takes longer than the 15 minute uncovered period to obtain the thickness I like.
