7 MEAT CHILI -- (THE 7TH MEAT IS PRIDE)

Steps:

• Pepperoni Notes: I prefer Boars Head pepperoni. Go to your deli counter and have them cut off about a 2-3 inch (1/2 to 1 lb) piece of pepperoni. Dice the pepperoni into small edible size chunks. Cook all the meets in a large non-stick pot, but make sure you cook the pepperoni chunks first. Drain most of the pepperoni grease, but keep enough in the pot to help cook the other meats. Place all cooked meats in a large (to very large) crock pot. Add diced onion, diced green pepper, and diced jalapeno (no seeds). Add 3 cans of chili beans (drained but not rinsed) and 2 cans of tomatoes (drained). Add all spices listed. Mix well. (Optional: add 1 cup of beef stock if the mix looks a little dry) Turn crock pot on low heat for 12 - 18 hours with the lid on. (Stir occasionally) 4 hours before serving add 2 cans chili beans and 2 cans tomatoes. Add seasoning to taste. Remove Bay Leaves. 1 hour before serving: If the chili looks a thin or watery then turn on high with the lid off. Serve with choice of Cheese, Oyster Crackers, Sour Cream, and Diced Onion (This chili is fairly spicy, to reduce heat use mild sausage, mild beans and no jalapeno.)

BEEF CHILI

Steps:

• In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil. Season the beef shoulder all over with salt and pepper, add it to the pot and brown it. As it's browning stir in the chili powder, coriander, cumin, paprika, oregano and cinnamon. Lower the temperature under the meat to "toast" the spices. In a food processor puree the onions, garlic, chipotle peppers, jalapeno, tomato paste and sugar and add it to the pot. Increase the heat to medium to steam vegetables a little and sweeten the peppers. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch, about 1 quart, and add tomatoes with their liquid. Bring to a boil and skim off any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer until the meat is fork-tender and comes apart with no resistance, about 2 hours. As it cooks down, add more water, if necessary. When done, stir in the masa harina. Take a potato masher and mash the chili so the meat comes apart in shreds. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish each serving with the shredded Cheddar, chives, and sour cream.
