[net.cooks] Roadrunner Chili

rro (04/06/83)

This is a bean-free chili that won the Arizona chili cookoff several
years ago.

Roadrunner Chili

	Ingredients

		6 lb ground beef
		1.5 lb ground pork
		3 qt (1 gigantic can) cooked whole tomatoes
		2 medium onions, chopped
		2 or more cloves garlic, chopped
		1 T paprika
		2 T chili powder
		1 T cumino
		0.5 T Savor-Salt
		0.5 T black pepper
		3 jalapeno peppers, split with seeds removed

	Method

		Brown beef and pork; drain off fat.  Add all remaining
		ingredients except jalapenos.  Cook for 3 hours at low
		temperature.  Add jalapenos and cook for 1 hour more.

This makes over 2 gallons of chili.  If you remove jalapenos now the
chili will be moderately spicy.  If you cool, refrigerate, and reheat
the chili before removing them, you will observe some real heat.  Beyond
that you're on your own.
 
I estimate the chili to have about 310 calories per cup.

Note:  After splitting and seeding the jalapenos, scrub your hands with
soap and water immediately before succumbing to urges to rub your eye,
scratch your armpit, or, uh, . . . you get the idea.
