OLD JOHN'S CHILI CON CARNE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in frying pan add one onion, the ground chuck, the 3 sliced cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon each of cumin, paprika, tumeric and 1 tablespoon chili powder, saute until beef is browned and drain off the liquid/oil.
• Place drained beef and onion mixture into a large stock pot over medium heat. Add the remaining onion, the diced clove of garlic, the drained kidney beans and the tomato sauce and stir well.
• If the mixture is too thick, thin it with the reserved bean liquid or add another can of tomato sauce.
• Add the tomato paste, another TBSP each of the cumin, paprika and tumeric, 2 TBSP of cocoa powder and 2 to 4 TBSP of the chili powder. (sometimes, I'll use the entire jar) Cook until the onion is tender, stirring occasionally and thinning as desired with the reserved bean liquid.
• Add enough tomato ketchup to correct for the acid balance (see note above).
• Serve with grated cheddar cheese and sour cream if desired.

EASY AND MILD CHILI

Steps:

• In a frying pan brown the beef with the onion and garlic over medium heat.
• Over medium heat add to a dutch oven or large pot all ingredients except beans. Break up the tomatoes with a spoon or your hand. I squeeze mine.
• Once the meat is ready, drain and add to the tomatoe mixture. Let simmer for an hour or so, add beans. Taste for seasonings. I usually let mine set on the stove on warm or low for a few hours to let the flavors meld. It is even better the next day.
• If you choose to use lean beef and no draining, just make it all in the dutch oven or large pot.

MILD-MANNERED CHILI

• Cook on Low for 3 hours.

DR. JOHNS' CHILI

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown the ground beef, one pound at a time, over high heat together with the garlic and onions. If your skillet or wok is large enough, you can brown the beef all at once to save time. On the last batch, add the spices after the beef is browned and continue frying for another couple of minutes.
• Add the browned beef to a very large pot with a lid, and then add the beans, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, and V8 juice. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer. To make the cashew meal, process the cashews in a blender in short bursts, until a grainy meal is formed. Don't process for too long or you'll have cashew butter. Stir in the cashew meal, cover, and simmer for an additional 30 minutes. Makes 10 servings.
