2 yellow onions diced
2 bell peppers diced
2 jalapeño peppers seeded and diced
2-4 tablespoons of chili powder
1-2 tablespoons of cumin
2 boxes good beef broth
1 can tomato paste
1 large can crushed tomatoes
6-8 diced tomatoes
1-2 tablespoons sugar
3 lbs diced sirloin
Brown sirloin in small batches. Salt and pepper each batch as it is browning. Remove browned meat to a side bowl. Once all meat is browned put onion and peppers in pan and stir. As they sweat scrape the pan to get all the browned meat off pan. After cooking for about 4-5 minutes add the garlic and cook a minute or two. Dump meat back into pot. Add tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste. Pour beef broth over everything and add chili powder, cumin, and sugar. Mix well. Cover and let simmer for at least 2 hours. If too runny, remove lid and cook an hour.
I love chili threads. People get so damn defensive. Your recipe has a lot of tomatoes. I've made recipes like that in the past and they were horrible to me. Relax.country said:
Perhaps make it and see if it tastes horrible? I don't know. Or if you like the recipe but don't like the tomatoes, take the tomatoes out? A lot of ways to respond to someone trying to help someone else without being a complete dick. Post your own recipe so we can tell you how ****y it sounds.
Coming from somebody with that handle......yeah, I don't put any stock in the comments.NColoradoAG said:country said:

Some of the chili recipes that get posted around here have so many damn tomatoes in them. And they all sound horrible.
Sugar in spaghetti sauce is used lightly to cut the acidity - I assume the same thing here.Martin Cash said:
I've never understood sugar in chili.

Chili threads are just about the most divisive threads on Texags. Needs to be moved to Politics or R&P boards.
According to a bunch of people that post here, chop up whatever ingredients you want, throw it in a pot with whatever you think tastes good and because you grew up poor add beans to it. Call it chili and you're good to go.
Carne guisada uses almost stew sized cuts of beef, not coarse ground or chili sized cubes. And is more of a stew than anything.country said:
BTW…..just to go back to Colorado's original diatribe. I make a badass Chile without tomatoes. It's called carne guisada. To me if you use cubed beef instead of ground beef, there is no difference except for the spices you throw in. And they are both awesome.
