Ingredients
5 lbs Ground beef, extra lean(for leaner needs, can use ground turkey)2-3 Med. Onions, chopped5 Cloves Garlic, minced2 28 oz. cans Whole Tomatoes, unsalted3 8 oz. cans Tomato Sauce, unsalted3 4 oz. cans Green Chiles, diced3 Tbsp. Olive Oil, extra virgin2 tbsp Lemon Pepper3 tbsp Paprika2-5 tsp Cayenne Pepper (however spicy you - want)10 tbsp Chili Powder5-10 tsp Cumin, ground3-5 tbsp Basil (optional)3-5 tsp Oregano (optional)1-3 tsp Cilantro (optional)
Makes 20-24 2 cup servings
In a large pot or dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook until onion is translucent, stirring occasionally. Add meat, breaking it into smaller pieces. Add paprika and lemon pepper.Cook until browned. Add tomato sauce, basil, oregano and cilantro. Stir well and bring to a boil. Add chili powder, cumin and cayenne and reduce heat to simmer. Cooking time can be as short as 2 hours, but I prefer 4 hours to really mix the flavors. Just remember to add the whole tomatoes after about half an hour, then about 30 to 40 minutes before you're finished, break up the tomatoes and stir them through the chili. Add green chiles and simmer another 30 minutes. Voila! ( or is that ole! )
