LARRY’S CHILI
2 cans Hunts Special Sauce, or two cans diced tomatoes (I haven’t been able to find Hunts Special for a long time)
1 can tomato paste
2 Lb!. Ground beef, not lean, grease is needed for cooking but will be drained off!.
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 can Kidney beans
1 can Black beans
2 medium onions, chopped coarse, I like to use one red onion & 1 bunch green onions!.
1 cup Heinz Ketchup
1 Tablespoon Hershey powdered cocoa!. Yes, you read that correctly!!
2 Tablespoon Chili Powder!. I use pure chili powder, does not have cumin in it!. (Don’t go cheap here, buy the best you can find, makes a huge difference in the taste)
1 clove Garlic chopped fine
2 Jalapeno or Serrano peppers, remove seeds & chop fine
6-8 drops Tapatio Sauce!. (this is a hot pepper sauce WITHOUT vinegar) available in the Mexican department at the grocery!.
This ingredient is the place to “tune” the heat in the chili!. Use more or less Tapatio, NOT more or less chili powder!.
In heavy pot, brown meat with onions & peppers!. Drain well, now is the time to get rid of all the grease you can!!
Add all other ingredients, be sure you use the juice from the beans & tomatoes!. This is the salt component of the dish!. Add V8 juice to achieve the consistency desired!. Simmer for about 40 minutes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
