CHILI FOR A CROWD
This chili for a crowd was handed down to me by my aunt, who said she got it from a "grizzled Montana mountain man." I added some zesty ingredients to come up with the final version. Hot food is something that my husband's family isn't accustomed to, so I adjust the spices for them. In fact, with a few simple alterations to the "heat" index, I can serve this chili to anyone. -Lisa Humphreys, Wasilla, Alaska

LARGE GROUP CHILI
This is a simple chili recipe, one that I have adapted to fit a large group. I volunteer for my local church and cook to feed newcomers each month. I never know how many people that there will be so I always shoot to feed around 80 people. This is what I make for those cold months. I serve it with crackers, cheese, and chopped onions. So if you need to cook for a large group, or just love chili, then enjoy this one. This chili is made to be good for all so it has just the right amount of spice and flavor without going overboard. Hope you find this a great way to pleas a hungry crowd.

Steps:
- In a large pot put in all of the ground beef.
- Then fill with water to cover the beef.
- Bring the beef to a boil then reduce to a simmer. It is best that you stir it when you fist put it on the heat so the ground beef breaks up.
- Stir occasionally till all of the meat is cooked. It will take about 35 minutes to brown all of the beef.
- When the ground beef is simmering, chop the onion, green pepper, and celery. Make sure to stir the beef as you go.
- When meat is done, use a strainer to drain the meat.
- Leaving the meat to strain, finish chopping the vegetables.
- Add the vegetables to your chili pot with the vegetable oil. Sweat the vegetables in the oil till they soften.
- Once the vegetables are softened then add the ground beef. Then mix them together and turn off the heat.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the chili pot with the heat off (I do this because I transport it after this step). Mix all the ingredients together and transport the chili pot to the final location.
- Then put back on heat. Bring it to a slow simmer (mixing occasionally). Let simmer for around 2 hours and serve.

LAMB CHILI
Enjoy tender lamb slowly simmered along with a variety of chile peppers and spices in this not-so-common chili version. Try substituting dark Mexican beer for the chicken stock, adding it once you've cooked all the spices in the pepper mixture. Let it reduce for a few minutes and continue with the recipe.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, season lamb all over with salt and pepper.
- In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat.
- Working in batches, add lamb and cook about 2 minutes per side, until browned.
- Transfer lamb to a large plate as done. Discard excess fat, leaving only about 1 tablespoon in the pot.
- Bring pot back to medium heat, add green bell peppers, Poblano or Anaheim pepper (if using), red bell peppers, and onions and cook for about 5 minutes, scraping bottom from time to time to get all the browned bits of meat folded in with the vegetables.
- Add jalapeño and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring from time to time.
- Add garlic, cook for 1 minute more, then add chile powder, oregano, coriander, cumin, and salt and pepper.
- Let spices cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Return lamb to pot. Stir in broth, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, tomatoes, chipotle sauce, and bay leaf.
- Raise heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, taste sauce and adjust salt and pepper.
- Lower heat to a slow simmer, cover and cook for about 30 minutes.
- Check on the consistency of the sauce and add water 1/2 cup water at a time to reach desired thickness.
- Add beans and continue simmering, covered, for another 10 minutes or until beans are warmed through.
- Ladle chili into bowls and garnish with green onions and chopped cilantro.
- Recipe Variation: To add a smoky depth of flavor, you can roast the Poblano or Anaheim pepper before adding. Using tongs, hold the pepper over a high heat gas flame, charring all over for about five minutes. You want the pepper skin to have a very dark color on all sides. When done, place in an airtight container and let stand to "sweat" for about 5 minutes. Using plastic gloves to protect your fingers, rub the skin off and discard. Open the pepper and remove veins and seeds and discard the top or stem. Chop and add to recipe along with the jalapeño pepper.

Steps:
- If using dried beans and not freezing the chilli, rinse and pick over the beans, then soak them overnight in plenty of water. Rinse again, and tip into a large pan with enough water to cover by 5cm and bring to the boil. Boil briskly for 10 mins, then turn down the heat and simmer gently for 30 mins or until tender. Drain and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based lidded pan and brown the pork, then the beef, in 4 batches, scooping into a bowl as you go. Slice the bacon into strips. Add to the empty pan and cook gently to begin with, raising the heat as the bacon crisps. Scoop the bacon out of the pan, stir in the onions, garlic, celery and the bay leaves, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft but hardly coloured - about 20 mins.
- Quarter the lemons lengthways, cut out the pithy core and remove the seeds. Chop into very small pieces, each with a bit of peel. Stir the chilli powder, cumin and oregano into the onions and stir-fry for a couple of mins, then return the meat, adding the tomato purée, chopped tomatoes, lemon, wine and stock. Stir as the dish heats up, then simmer, covered, for 1 hr 30 mins. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Can be frozen at this stage for up to 1 month - defrost overnight in the fridge before continuing with the recipe.
- Add the beans to the pan - if you're using canned beans, rinse them first. Cook, uncovered, for a further 30 mins. Can be cooled at this stage and kept covered in the fridge for 24 hrs.
- Tip the soured cream into a bowl, snip the chives into small pieces then scatter them over the soured cream, cover and refrigerate until serving.
- To make the guacamole, halve the avocados lengthways, remove the stone and use a fork to mash the flesh into its shell. Scoop out into a bowl, mashing further if necessary (I like it lumpy). Add the chillies, onions and the garlic crushed to a paste with a little salt. Squeeze over the juice of 3 limes, season with black pepper and add the chopped coriander. Mix, adding extra lime juice to taste. Cover with cling film, allowing it to touch the surface. Chill until required.
- To prepare the couscous, boil the kettle and measure 750ml water into a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, olive oil and couscous. Stir, cover with cling film and leave to soak for 30 mins, then fluff up with a fork.
- Prepare the corn chips up to 1 hr before serving. Spread the chips on baking sheets, scatter over the cheese and place under a hot grill for 2-4 mins until molten and crusty. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve with the chilli, couscous, guacamole, soured cream and chives and some coriander leaves sprinkled over the top, if you like.
