Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 3 Garlic cloves; chopped
  • 2 Onions; chopped
  • 1 Green bell peppers; chopped
  • 3 pounds Beef
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Ground oregano
  • 3 tablespoons Chili powder
  • 10 Tomatoes; peeled and chopped
  • 2 Jalapeño peppers; optional
  • 1 can Beer

Directions

  • * Have beef chopped, not ground.
  • 1. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet.
  • Add garlic, onions and green pepper.
  • Sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  • 2. Add beef and lightly brown on all surfaces.
  • Drain off some of the fat if a lot has accumulated.
  • Lean beef trimmed of all fat should not have an excess amount, however.
  • 3. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 1 hour or slightly longer.
  • Put a cover on skillet during cooking time, and slightly tilt it so steam can escape.
  • Check often and stir to prevent sticking.
  • Skim off fat as it rises.
  • Best if allowed to sit, tightly covered, for an hour after cooking is complete.
  • Serving Ideas : Serve with cornbread or cheese biscuits.
  • NOTES : This chili can be mild or very hot depending upon the use of jalapeño peppers.
  • Some chili lovers say you should never put beans in chili so this recipe omits them.
  • This recipe is from a truck driver named Sparky that we met in Arizona, a firm believer in no-bean chili.
