CARROLL SHELBY'S CHILI

Steps:

• Melt suet or heat the oil in a heavy 3-quart (or larger) pot over medium-high heat.
• Remove the unrendered suet and crumble meat into the pot. Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally. until meat is evenly browned.
• Add tomato sauce, beer, crushed red chile, garlic, onion, oregano, paprika, 1 teaspoons of the cumin, and salt. Stir to blend and bring to a boil.
• Lower heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
• Taste and adjust seasonings, adding cayenne pepper.
• Simmer uncovered 1 hour longer.
• Stir in the cheese and the remaining 1/2 teaspoons cumin.
• Simmer 1/2 hour longer, stirring often to keep cheese from burning.
• I serve the chili with sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese to garnish, and warm cornbread on the side.
• The cookbook actually called for 1/4 cup of crushed red chile pepper, but unless you have a taste for fire, use less! I use half that amount, and I really like hot food.
