MOM'S CLASSIC BEEF CHILI

Steps:

• Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat until hot, about 45 seconds. Add 1 tablespoon oil, then add peppers and onion; saute until soft, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a large soup pot and set aside.
• Increase the heat under the frying pan to high and let the pan get very hot, about 90 seconds. Add 1 tablespoon oil, then add 1/2 of the ground beef; cook and stir in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, about 6 minutes. Transfer to the soup pot, and drain and discard grease from the frying pan. Repeat with remaining oil and beef.
• Add tomatoes, broth, chili powder, tomato paste, cumin, oregano, salt, and cayenne pepper to the beef mixture; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes.
• Add kidney beans and black beans; simmer until beans are heated through, about 15 minutes.

BEEF/LAMB CHILI

Steps:

• Instructions for the night before:.
• Trim livers (To do this remove any white, stringy portions with your fingers or a knife).
• Place livers in a medium bowl and cover with water.
• Squeeze in the juice of 2 lemons and place in fridge for at least 8-12 hours. This will neutralize some of the strong flavor of the liver.
• The next day:.
• Warm oil over medium heat.
• Add onions, garlic and liver, mincing liver as finely as possible while you sautee. When the onions are soft and the liver resembles a coarse paste(about 10 minutes), add ground beef and saute until brown.
• Once the ground beef is browned, add the tomatoes and spices. If needed, pour in enough water/broth so that the meat is fully submerged.
• Bring chili to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for an hour.
• Enjoy!
