24 ounces dark beer (I use Boulevard Bully! Porter)
2 (16 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
10 3/4 ounces beef consomme
2 (16 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
4 (16 ounce) cans kidney beans
4 stalks celery, chopped medium

1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
3 tablespoons cornflour (masa)

3 whole bay leaves
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
1 teaspoon dry mustard

Steps:

  • Using a large skillet cook the onions in half of the olive oil until nearly translucent.
  • Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Place the onions in a large stock pot (12 quart).
  • Brown the meat in the remaining oil.
  • Add the tomato paste to the meat during the last few minutes of browning.
  • Add this to the stock pot without draining.
  • Remove the seeds, veins, and stems from the chipoltes, habaneros, and anchos.
  • Tear the chilies into small pieces and soak them in the hot water for 30 minutes.
  • Puree the chilies and water in a blender until a paste forms.
  • Add this paste to the stock pot and mix well.
  • Add all of the liquid ingredients and vegetables, except for the spices, to the stock pot and bring them to a simmer.
  • Do not drain any of the canned items.
  • Mix the Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, honey, and liquid smoke in a small dish until the honey is dissolved.
  • Add this mixture to the stock pot and stir well.
  • Add all of the dry spices together in a small bowl and mix well.
  • Add this spice mixture to the stock pot slowly, a little at a time.
  • Once all the ingredients are mixed together, return the chili to a simmer.
  • Simmer the chili for 2-3 hours uncovered.
  • Remember to stir the chili occasionally and add water or beer if necessary.
  • Makes about 10 quarts (leftovers freeze well).
  • The chili should be allowed to age 1-2 days in the refrigerator.
  • Serve the chili over rice or pasta Midwest-style and add your favorite condiments.
  • Serve the chili with a salad and your favorite beer and you will have a feast.
  • Cheese biscuits and cornbread are also wonderful with this recipe.
  • The ingredients in steps 4 and 5 can be prepared the day ahead to save time and to avoid any last second measuring mistakes.
  • Just place them in sealed containers or Ziplock bags and place in the refrigerator until the next day.

CLYDE'S FAMOUS CHILI



Clyde's Famous Chili image

From the Washington, DC restaurant's website. My husband loves chili and this is one of his favorites. On the website, this is described as: Sweet and slightly hot, this saloon-style Chili has been a staple on Clyde's menu for over 30 years. Liz Taylor would order it by the gallon and have it shipped to her house! Since we no longer offer our chili in the can at Britches clothing store, it's only fair that we give you the recipe that has been top secret for many years. *Note: the light chili powders have more of the hot seeds or flakes ground with the pods. By using more of the dark chili powder, our chili is a little sweeter.

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 lb small onion, diced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 (25 ounce) can chili beans
1 (12 ounce) jar chili sauce
2 tablespoons light chili powder
1/4 cup dark chili powder
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • In a heavy bottomed pot, saute the onion and garlic in the vegetable oil until golden brown.
  • Add the beef to the onions and cook until it is about medium rare. Do not stir the beef around too much-you want to have large clumps of beef in the finished chili.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until just blended. (It may seem like a lot of chili powder but that's why they call it chili!).
  • Cook the chili over medium heat for about 10 minutes, just until the meat is fully cooked. Don't overcook it!
  • Serve with ice cold beer and condiments like sharp cheddar cheese, sour cream, and minced onions.

CRAZY HOLIDAY MEATBALLS

This recipe is so easy and tasty. Kids love them. I make these around the holidays and people rave. I hate to tell them how crazy easy they are. If you don't have access to Hormel Chili no beans. It is just canned chli with no beans. Any brand would do. I sometimes use strawberry jelly.
