Chili Recipe

Serve this with cornbread or saltines.

2 dried hot red peppers, seeded and diced
3 cups water
2 pounds stew beef or lean chuck, cut in small pieces, about 1/4-inch to
1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons oil
2 medium onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 cans (approx. 16 ounces each) pinto beans, drained

Simmer dried peppers in 1 cup water 10 to 15 minutes, or until soft and
plump; drain and cool peppers; cut open and remove seeds and membranes. Finely chop
peppers; set aside (wear gloves if peppers are very hot). Saute meat in hot
oil until browned. Add onions and garlic; sauté until tender. Add 2 cups of
water, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and diced red peppers. Cover and simmer
for 2 hours, or until beef is very tender. Heat beans in a separate saucepan.
To serve, spoon beans into a bowl and top with meat mixture. Or, add beans to
meat mixture near the end of cooking.
