Ranch Style Chili Recipes

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, cook the beef, onion and peppers over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes., Serve desired amount of chili. Cool remaining chili; transfer to freezer containers. Cover and freeze for up to 3 months., To use frozen chili: Thaw in the refrigerator. Place in a saucepan; heat through.

Steps:

• 1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large pot with tight-fitting lid. Lightly brown beef, removing as it browns. Add more oil as needed.
• 2. After all meat is browned and removed from pot, add garlic and onion to pot and saute until tender and lightly browned. Return all meat to pan.
• 3. Combine chili powder, flour, and cumin (I don't always crush the cumin seeds, just leave whole). Sprinkle this mixture over the meat; stir over low heat until meat is evenly coated, about 2 minutes.
• 4. Stir in oregano, salt, cayenne, beef broth and water. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower heat, simmer slowly, with lid on for about 2 hours, or until meat is very tender.
• 5. Sprinkle in the cornmeal, stirring constantly, until mixture is slightly thickened, 5 - 10 minutes. *It is best to let chili "rest" for 15 to 30 minutes before eating; it gives the meat a chance to absorb more of the sauce! Serve with hot white rice and pinto beans on the side, if desired.
