Alabama Picnic Chilli Recipe
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 5 lb Coarse-grnd beef
- 1 lrg Onion, diced fairly fine
- 1/2 c. Green bell pepper, diced
- 2 Tbsp. Beef base
- 1 Tbsp. Cocoa (Nestle or possibly Hershey)
- 5 tsp Powdered garlic granules
- 1 tsp Grnd cumin
- 48 ounce Can tomato juice
- 5 Tbsp. Plus 3 ts chilli pwdr
- 1/2 tsp Fresh black pepper
Directions
- Combine the beef base, tomato juice, minced veggies, cocoa and 4 tespoons of powdered garlic in a dutch oven over a low (simmer) flame.
- Divide the hamburger into three more-or possibly-less equal batches and brown it in a separate skillet. Add in 1 tsp. per batch of chilli pwdr.
- When browned and crumbled drain excess fat and add in to dutch oven.
- Repeat till all grnd beef is in the chilli pot. Add in the black pepper to the chilli pot.
- Stir in 1 Tbsp. per lb. of meat of the chilli pwdr (5 Tb for this batch). Cover pot and let simmer, stirring once in a while. When the onions and peppers are cooked (about 1 1/2 hr) taste the pot. You will probably find which you'll need to add in the remaining Tbsp. of garlic pwdr and the tsp. of grnd cumin. You may also want to add in an additional Tbsp. of chilli pwdr at this time. Trust me on the garlic and cumin. It adds the final kick. Neysa tasted before and after and could not believe how much difference it made.
- Simmer for an additional 10 to 15 min and serve.
- For those desiring a hotter product add in cayenne till your lips turn numb and your sinuses drain if desired. I made this batch extra-mild in deference to picnic attendees who do not handle heat real well.
- Sadly, Maya Houston thought it was still too warm after she tasted a spoonful. &^(
