Chili for when it's chilly. This'll warm you up for sure! This makes a thick, hearty chili. I started making it this way years ago after getting bored with our same ole same ole, and deciding to experiment. The hubby loves it with honey butter cornbread (recipe on my profile for that too).

Ingredients

  1. 2 lbground beef
  2. 1 mediumonion - chopped
  3. 1jalapeño - finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
  4. 1small can green chiles
  5. 226 ounce cans whole tomatoes
  6. 215.5 oz cans dark red kidney beans
  7. 5 tbspChilly Chili seasoning (on my profile) - adjust to your liking. sometimes I like a little more.
  8. 1 smallcan El Pato spicy tomato sauce (Yes, Pato not Paso. El Pato means "the duck".)
  9. 2 tbspketchup (optional)
  10. 1salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large pot over medium heat crumble and brown ground beef with onion and jalapeño. Season with about 1/2 tsp salt and pinch of pepper.

  2. 2

    While meat is cooking: pour both cans of tomatoes, with juices, into a large bowl. Crush tomatoes by hand to create pieces of varying size for texture (I like to leave some rather large chunks). Drain and rinse kidney beans in colander. When meat is done cooking just drain over kidney beans. Do not rinse again.

  3. 3

    Return meat, beans and tomatoes to pot over medium heat. Stir in green chiles, chilly chili seasoning, ketchup (if desired) and can of El Pato sauce. I find this in the Hispanic aisle of our local grocery store. If you can't find El Pato any small can (or about 1/4 cup) of tomato sauce will do (spicy or not).

  4. 4

    Adjust seasoning to taste. Simmer over med, med-low heat for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Stir occasionally. The longer it simmers the better it gets.

  5. 5

    Serve topped with shredded cheddar and sour cream if desired. Goes great with the honey butter cornbread on my profile!

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
