Directions:Dissolve the following in a small saucepan to which 2 c, of water have been added and bring to a low boil: Soup Base, Ground Oregano, Paprika, Ground Cumin Seed, Salt, Cilantro Flakes, Coriander Seed, Cayenne Pepper, Hot New Mexico Red Chili Powder, Garlic Powder, & Sugar. When dissolved, add the mixture to a 6 quart (min.) crock pot or Dutch oven and keep at a low boil.
On a foil covered cookie sheet, bake the tomatoes at 350º for 30-40 min. When done, remove the skin and add the tomatoes and the chopped jalapeño, hot yellow, and habanero peppers to a blender along with1/2 c. of water. Blend to a smooth consistency. Add mixture to the crock pot along with the bay leaves. Saute’ the diced onions and add to the mixture.
In a lg. frying pan, sauté the crushed garlic in bacon grease, careful not to burn the garlic. Remove the garlic from the grease and add it to the crock pot mixture. In the same frying pan and grease, brown the ground red meat and the pork until pale in color. Strain off the excess grease and add to the crock pot mixture. Add the kidney beans to the mixture if desired. Add the beer.
Simmer for a minimum of 2 1/2 hrs. I like to let it cool after cooking, placing a sheet of plastic wrap directly on top of the chili. I let it stand over night... seems to blend the flavors all the better. 30 min. prior to serving (assuming it is at a simmer) add a couple T. of corn flour to thicken the mixture as necessary. |
