Perfect For "Nasty Weather" Fishing -"Grampa Dave's Chili" !

Post by ez2cdave »

Grampa Dave's Chili recipe . . .

Well, in case you hadn't guessed, I'm "Grampa Dave" . . . Here, at my grand-children's request, is my chili recipe !

Please note that this recipe provides a "safe starting point" as to heat and intensity . . . Add more seasoning, as desired !

Grampa Dave's Chili

INGREDIENTS :

1 lb. - 80% Ground Chuck
2 Cans - Great Value "Chili-Ready" Tomatoes ( Wal-Mart brand name )
1 Can - Dark Red Kidney Beans
1 Can - Light Red Kidney Beans
1 Can - Tomato Sauce
1 Large - Green Pepper ( Diced )
1 Medium Vidalia Onion ( Diced )
1 Tablespoon - Chili Powder ( "Safe" Starting Point )
4 - Beef Bouillon Cubes
4 oz. - Sliced Mushrooms ( Optional )
Garlic ( As Desired )
Black Pepper ( As Desired )
Seasoned Salt ( As Desired )
Cayenne Pepper ( As Desired - Use Sparingly )

PREPARATION & COOKING :

(1) Combine ALL Ingredients, EXCEPT the GROUND CHUCK and the ONIONS in a large pot and heat over Medium-High heat, stirring occasionally.

(2) Brown Ground Chuck and DRAIN THOROUGHLY ( Add a sprinkling of additional Seasonings as listed above, if desired, to add flavor during cooking ). Add to Ingredients prepared in Step 1.

(3) Place Diced Onions in a large skillet and saute them, until brown ( They are cooked separately to prevent an "overpowering" Onion flavor in the Chili ) Additional seasoning may be used, if desired . . . DRAIN THOROUGHLY and add to Pot.

(4) Add the GROUND CHUCK and ONIONS to the pot and stir until thoroughly mixed in. Add water, as needed ( it will simmer out during cooking )

(5) Cook Chili over MEDIUM-HIGH heat, until it comes to a BUBBLING Boil, stirring occasionally . . . REDUCE Heat to MEDIUM-LOW and allow to cook for at least TWO HOURS, stirring occasionally . . . DO NOT ALLOW Chili to RE-BOIL and LOWER HEAT, as needed.

(6) "TASTE-TEST" During Cooking and Adjust Seasonings, as desired . . . SERVE & ENJOY ! ! !
