"Rip-Your-Face-Off-Chili"

3 Lbs. meat, 1 Lb. ground chuck, plus
2 Lb. round steak, diced finely
3 cups water or chicken broth
1 red bell pepper chopped to a medium dice
1 green bell pepper , medium dice
1 1/2 large onion, large dice.
2 cans dark red kidney beans.
3 10 oz cans RoTel diced tomatos with chilis
1-or 2 4 oz cans tomato sauce.
5-6 garlic cloves finely diced ( I use the food processor)
5-6 bay leaves
dash oregano
dash Accent
4Tbs. chili powder
2 Tbsp Ground Cumin seed
1 Tbsp Lawreys seasoned salt or an equivalent.
1 tsp cayenne red pepper
5 fresh jalapeno peppers.

Place meat in a large pot and brown til - - - well till it's
browned. add the water and bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes,
drain all water off through a strainer, and pour into a gravy
seperator to remove the fat. Pour the defatted water back into
the pot and add the onions, red and green peppers (NOT the
jalapenos at this time) , bay leaves, spices, tomatos and tomato
sauce. Bring to a boil again and reduce heat to a low simmer.
IN the meantime, open the jalapenos, remove seeds and white
membranes. Save the innerds of 2-3 of the peppers chop and add
to the mix this is where the heat is. The green part is the
flavor. Set aside along with the garlic.
Add the beans, but rinse and strain to remove the thick gooey
liquor they come packed in.
After 20 minutes of simmering, add the garlic , chopped
jalapenos, and anything else I didn't mention, oregano etc. and
again bring to a boil, another 5 minutes. Turn off heat and
allow to cool completely. Reheat and serve with your favorite
corn bread recipe.
When I serve this to a larger group, I always provide some
antacid tabs. If taken beforehand, they prevent the kind of
discomfort some people have from hot, spicey foods.

Now into your stock pot put all the rest of your ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce your heat to a simmer and cook at least two hours stirring often. Once cooked you will have one of the best chili's in the world. And believe me it truly is hell fire chili.

NOTE

Hell Fire Chili , Wild Or Mild


If you want a milder not so hot chili remove the seeds from your jalapenos when you cut them up. But use care when removing the seeds. Don't put your hands near your face until you wash them well with soap and water.

Beer Or No Beer


If for some reason you do not want to use the beer in this recipe for one reason or another use apple juice instead. You will find that the flavor is almost the same.

Captain Wafers or Saltines

if your local supermarket sells captain wafers purchase them to go with your Hell Fire Chili. They really do improve the flavor of your chili.

Garnish Your Chili

You will want to garnish your hell fire chili with shredded cheddar cheese , sour creme and fine diced green onions. Put your garnishes in small bowls on the table and allow your guests to add their own garnishes to their servings of hell fire chili.
