JUDY'S AUSTERLITZ CHILI
Source of Recipe
the web
List of Ingredients
3 lb. kidney beans (Goya or
Progresso)
3 lb. lean ground meat
chili powder (use a whole
jar--yes!)
bacon end (or 2 strips bacon)
2 medium onions, chopped up
2 cans Progresso peeled whole
tomatoes
Monterey Jack cheese
scallions (to taste
2 garlic cloves
Recipe
In a heavy iron kettle brown the bacon end in olive oil
(just enough to cover the bottom of the pan). Add the chopped
up onion. When onion is yellow, brown the meat. As you brown
the meat, add chili powder and paprika. (If you use bacon,
don't add any salt.) After meat is brown, add 2 big cloves of
garlic, chopped up. Then add the tomatoes, then beans. Stir
all together, then add more chili powder. (You should be
almost through with the jar by now.) Set oven to 125 degrees and bake
4 to 5 hours (or longer; doesn't matter). An hour or so before
you eat, slice the Monterey Jack cheese thin and cover the
surface with the slices. It will melt down. Chop scallions
and serve in a bowl to be sprinkled by diners on their chili.
Optional: You can also add Tabasco sauce,
Worcestershire, etc. while chili is cooking. You can add a
little more chili powder each time you stir.
