Chilli recipes ?

[jetblack]

This one is out of a recipe book called 'Texas Cowboy Cooking' by Tom Perini.

4 lbs ground meat (your choice of meat, and whether it's cut or ground)
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp cumin seed
3 tbsp chili powder
2 16 oz cans stewed tomatoes, or 2 lbs fresh tomatoes
(2 cups hot water, but I would only add this if during the cooking you think it's needed)
6 orange sweet peppers, chopped (I think this is the key ingredient, you can also use red or yellow or some combination of the three [no green bell peppers])
3 jalapenos, chopped
salt to tasted

Some other items you can consider adding during cooking:

paprika
cayenne
beef or chicken stock
beans

Some items you can consider adding after cooking:

cheese
green onions
