• Stir tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeno peppers, chili powder, cayenne, salt, garlic, and black pepper together in the crock of a slow cooker; add ground beef and stir.
• Cook on High for 6 1/2 hours (or on Low for 10 hours).

• In a large saucepan, combine the first nine ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Top each serving with sour cream and cheese.

TOUCHDOWN CHILI

Steps:

• Place the ground beef, onion and garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring to crumble the beef, until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is tender. Drain off the fat and return the pan to the stove. Combine the chili powder, cumin and basil; sprinkle over the beef. Cook and stir to coat the meat and toast the spices a little.
• Pour in the tomatoes, green chilies, tomato sauce, beer and vinegar. Bring to a boil and stir to loosen any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan. Mix in the brown sugar, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 3 hours. Remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking.

BEANLESS CHILI

Steps:

• To prepare the peppers - Cut them in half, get rid of all the seeds. Then steam them in 1 inch of water for 15 minutes. Let them cool, then scoop out the pulp.
• Brown the ground beef with the onions & garlic. When browned, add all the other ingredients.
• Cover & simmer for 3+ hours, stirring occasionally.
• Serve over pasta or beans (if you like them), with cheese on top. (servings are calculated if you serve it this way - if you eat it as is, it's closer to 5 or 6).

BEANLESS BEEF CHILI

Steps:

• Put a deep heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and add the oil. Put in the beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until it is well browned, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the meat to a bowl with a slotted spoon and discard the fat from the pan. Pour half the broth into the pan and scrape up any browned bits.
• Pour this into the bowl of a slow cooker. Add the onions and put the meat on top. Add the chili seasoning, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, jalapeno, and garlic.
• Add the tomatoes with their juice and the remaining broth. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Taste, and adjust the seasoning. Serve garnished with spiced sour cream.

BEANLESS CHILI

• let simmer for one hour.

VEGETARIAN BEANLESS CHILI

Steps:

• Chop the veggies into 1/2 inch pieces, toss directly into a large soup pot.
• Mince the garlic, add and cook them in a little olive oil till the onions are clear and the carrots are starting to get a bit soft. (You should be able to cut a carrot in half with the wooden spoon but not really easily).
• If using any other veggies add them so they're also about half cooked at the same time.
• Add canned tomatoes and use the can to measure and add an equal amount of water; stir.
• Crumble the veggie ground beef in, add spices and stir. At this time you can taste and adjust seasonings. The thickness should be about what you want as a finished product.
• Bring to a gentle boil.
• Now add the rice and the amount of water it will absorb (check the package, they vary) and simmer until rice and veggies are all soft and flavors combined.
• Serve topped with sour cream, and grated cheddar, and bread or a simple salad.
