This is the recipe after revisions… the original didn’t call for peppers, and had a much more prolonged prep. I should add that this is a little spicy.
Texas Chili
Ingredients
½ lbs – Bacon, roughly chopped 2 lbs – Ground chuck 4-6 – Fresno (Red) chilis, chopped 2-4 – Jalapenos, chopped 2 C – Yellow onion, chopped 2 Tbsp – Garlic, minced 3 Tbsp – Chili powder 2 Tbsp – Ground cumin 1 Tbsp – Smoked paprika 1 Tbsp – Oregano 2 tsp – Salt 2 tsp – Black pepper 25 oz – Crushed tomatoes 3 Tbsp – Tomato paste 1 Tbsp – Better than Bouillon – Beef 12 oz – Beer 1 C – Water 2 Tbsp – Masa (can sub. 2 Tbsp corn meal and 2 Tbsp AP flour)
In a large pot, cook the bacon on medium-high heat. Once mostly cooked, add the ground chuck, and cook through.
Add onions, Fresno chilis, and jalapenos, cooking until soft. Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper, and cook until fragrant.
Add masa (or corn meal and AP flour), and stir to combine well. Cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, bouillon, half the beer, and ⅓ C water. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add remaining beer and water. Simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
