Since this seems hard to find and I wrote it down or cut/pasted it long ago. I make some minor changes, but this is the original. It's without a doubt the best chilli I've ever made. I actually freeze it in individual storage containers and it cooks back up as good as fresh.
INGREDIENTS 1(14-ounce) can diced tomatoes 2teaspoons minced chipotle chiles in adobo sauce 4slices bacon, chopped fine 1 (3 1/2- to 4-pound) boneless beef chuck-eye roast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces Salt and pepper 1 onion, chopped fine 1 jalapeño chile, seeded and chopped fine 3tablespoons chili powder 1 1/2teaspoons ground cumin 1/2teaspoon dried oregano 4 garlic cloves, minced 4cups water 1tablespoon brown sugar 2tablespoons yellow corn muffin mix (or MASA HARISA)
INSTRUCTIONS 1. Process tomatoes and chipotle in food processor until smooth. Cook bacon in Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate and reserve 3 tablespoons bacon fat.
-
Pat beef dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon reserved bacon fat in empty Dutch oven over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown half of beef, about 8 minutes. Transfer to bowl and repeat with additional tablespoon bacon fat and remaining beef.
-
Add remaining bacon fat, onion, and jalapeño to empty Dutch oven and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in water, pureed tomato mixture, bacon, browned beef, and sugar and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Skim fat and continue to simmer uncovered until meat is tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
-
Ladle 1 cup chili liquid into medium bowl and stir in muffin mix; cover with plastic wrap. Microwave until mixture is thickened, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk mixture into chili and simmer until chili is slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.
bon appetit
