If you live in New Jersey, you learn to find shortcuts to avoid tolls and traffic conjestion, etc. Its the same thing with cooking chili! Everyone who has tasted my chili raves about it, try it for yourself!
Get Wick Fowler's 2-Alarm Chili Kit, and follow the directions except, use about 2 1/2 pounds of 85% or leaner ground beef, one fresh sliced onion, one fresh sliced pepper, two 8 oz cans of tomato sauce, two 15 oz cans of (Italian Style) stewed tomatos, one 15 oz can of pinto beans, one 7 oz can of diced green chiles and two (or more)bottles of your favorite beer.
Cook the meat in a large skillet then drain off the fat. Add the sliced onion and pepper, tomato sauce, stewed tomatos and chiles (don't add any water). Next stir in all ingredients and continue to follow the directions on the package. I omit the masa flour mixture. While the chili is simmering, taste frequently and enjoy your bottles of beer. Makes about 5 pints.
