Well there just might be a million Chili Recipes! Let me see John if I can't sneak into my wife's kitchen and get hers. (That in itself is a difficult task as we live in a small house)

Steve, just use your "Star Trek" cloaking device {Yeah, I know, it never worked for me either) LOL- Just looking for a good basic chili with that warms the belly and the soul. BTW, Sue, Your schoolhouse chili is in the lead, with your #3 link in  second place. Thanks for both !!

1 can rotel tomatos with chilis
1 small can V8 Juice (little one with the pop top)
2 LBs beef (I use cube steak cut up)
2 Jalapenos
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tsp chili pepper
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 tsp cider vinegar
a little bit of olive oil
1 Large can Bushs best chili beans with chili sauce
beef broth
1 small onion
1 small red bellpepper
1/2 clove garlic
2 fresh tomatoes, peeled and seeded

PREP
I use a small food processor to chop the onion fine. The garlic and red pepper I use the food processor to make them into more of a paste

Use a small amount of olive oil to brown the meat. When done drain and return to pot, add onions and Jalapenos, heat until onions are clear
Add cider vinegar and scape the pan
Pour in a small can of V8 and heat to boil, add the fresh tomatos, garlic/redpepper paste and boil just a moment or so.
Put everything else in and let it cook.
I simmer with a lid on it for about 2 hours and then take the lid off and simmer a few more hours

I usually put on the table, the sharpest cheddar I can get my hands on, some slivered green onion tops and some ground red chilis

John, although I made the chili today, we are having crab soup for dinner tonight LOL

We are expecting a few cold days in the next week so tomorrow I will put it in the freezer in two containers and we will have it next week.  IMHO, chili is always better the next day
