Always be yourself!


Hello Ladies!  Feels like forever and I see from the blog lots of activity, which is great to see. 
I love this post above and something  I have really been trying to think this daily.

Chili-as it should be!
1 ancho chili, dried
2 red chile peppers, dried
1/2 cup olive oil
1 pound of beef/chicken- in cubes
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 pound of ground beef or chicken
2 cups chopped onions
1/2 cup beef or chicken stock
28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
28 oz canned whole tomatoes
3-4 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups bell peppers- chopped

1) place the dried ancho and dried peppers in a bowl to soak for at least 30 min.
2) add 1/4 cup of oil into large pot and get good an hot.  Take cube meat and brown in pot on all sides. Remove from pot and set to side.
3) combine remaining oil, cumin seeds, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, reconstituted peppers and chipotle peppers in the food processor and process for 30 seconds.
4) Return your large pot to medium heat, and brown ground beef/chicken. Once its browned add all spices and onions. Once onions are more cooked add stock.  Cook until stock reduces a bit.
5) add in both cans of tomatoes, paste and bell peppers and cooked cubs.
6) stir to mix all the ingredients and simmer for 1-2 hours.

**** if you don't want to stand over stove add everything to a slow cooker after step 4 and set on high.
