Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 c Olive oil -- divided
4 lg Onion -- chopped
1 md Red pepper -- chopped
1 cl Garlic -- minced
2 Celery ribs -- coarsely chopped
4 lb Ground beef -- * see note
1 tb Oregano
1/2 tb Ground cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tb Cumin
1 tb Paprika
1 tb Chili powder
1 tb Celery seed
1 Italian plum tomato -- * see note
12 oz Beer
Red kidney beans -- * see note
Notes:
Small beef chunks can be used instead of ground beef.
Blend tomatoes in blender with liquid until smooth.
Pinto beans can be used instead of kidney beans.
Use bottles hot sauce to taste.
In a large skillet, heat 1/8 cup of olive oil over medium-high heat
and cook the onions, red pepper, garlic, and celery for 5 minutes,
stirring. In a large, heavy pot, heat the remaining 1/8 cup of oil
and brown the meat, stirring to break up the lumps and to produce a
smooth, uniform mixture. Stir in onion mixture to meat mixture. Add
the oregano, red pepper, cumin, paprika, chili powder, celery seeds,
salt, pepper, tomatoes with liquid, and beer or ginger ale. Blend
well. Simmer 1 hour, uncovered, stirring occasionally so the mixture
doesn't stick to the bottom and scorch. Add kidney beans and their
liquid, blend and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add hot
sauce to taste, if desired. Taste for seasoning.
