BARNEY'S BEANERY-TYPE CHILLI

Steps:

• Brown and drain 1 lb. of ground beef. Meanwhile, empty V-8 Juice and beer into a large stock pot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat & simmer, Add all remaining ingredients, EXCEPT CHILI PACKAGE SPICES.
• Open chili spice package. You will find 4 packets of different spices.
• Add larger package of chili spices, first, and stir.
• Add salt packet to taste, stir.
• Add small cayenne pepper packet to taste (optional). Will be extremely hot & spicy if all is added. (I usually add 1/4 to 1/2 of packet.).
• If you like thick chili follow directions on package for use of masa flour to thicken.
• Continue to simmer and stir. It's ready to eat when heated through. The longer it simmers the spicier it will get. If you want to simmer awhile longer, reduce heat to low so it doesn't burn.

THE BEST CHILI

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until just browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
• Add the jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated and fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the beef broth and crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the cooked ground beef and any accumulated liquid, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the chili, partially covered, until the beef is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in the beans and their liquid and simmer uncovered until the beans are softened and the chili is thickened, about 30 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
• Top with sour cream, Cheddar and scallions. Serve with tortilla chips.
