Directions: |
Directions:In a large, heavy dutch oven, start to brown up all the vegetables. (If some of your crowd is vegetarian, start a smaller pot and add a portion of the veggies to that pot. As you cook add a portion of each ingredient to that pot, except for the meat). When the veggies are tender, add the meat and brown, break up the meat to small chunks or even smaller for a smoother chili as desired. Drain off fat as desired. Add the spices and all the sauces and beans. Make sure there is enough liquid to keep it fluid while it cooks. Add more water or broth to keep it a little soupy at first then cook down. I cook it at a simmer for at least an hour keep the lid on. |

Notes: If desired,sliced jalapeņos, sour cream and cheddar shredded for serving. I either serve over pasta or white rice. Freezes well. If you want to put it all in a crockpot and cook on low all day it works well also.
