Dakota's Texas Style Chili

By: Dakota01 
"A spicy Texas style chili: no beans, tomatoes or ground beef. Great on a cold winter day and goes especially well with Golden Sweet Cornbread (which can also be found on Allrecipes). If you don't want to use beer in the chili, simply replace it with the same amount of water."

Original Recipe Yield 8 cups
 

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 8 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 tablespoons paprika
  • 1/3 cup chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 4 pounds boneless beef chuck or rump, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 4 3/4 cups water
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can beer
  • 4 canned Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, seeded and minced
  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal

Directions

  1. In a heavy pot or Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy, stirring occasionally. Drain off excess grease, leaving enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Add onions and garlic; cook and stir until the onions are tender. Season with oregano, cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder and cumin. Cook and stir for about 30 seconds to toast the spices.
  2. Stir in the beef, water, beer, chipotle peppers, and cornmeal; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until beef is tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
