- 1 lb of non lean ground beef
- 1 big onion
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 poblano peppers (substitute 1 green pepper)
- 3-4 jalapenos (reserve 1 or 2 for serving)
- 1-4 habaneros (depending on heat)
- 1 quart mushrooms
- Paprika as needed
- Cumin as needed
- salt, pepper
- New Mexico Chili powder as needed
- 1 can of diced tomatoes with juice
- 1 can of cooked read kidney beans with juice
- 1 small can of tomato paste
- 1-2 cups of chicken broth/bouillon – add as needed
- 2 chipotle peppers (whole)
Fry the meat, onions and peppers. Mix everything in except reserved jalapenos and simmer for at least 4 hours (6 is better, and it tastes better the next day). Use the spices to taste. Remember to remove the chipotles before serving (use them like a bay leaf). Make a corn bread to serve with it. Slice the remaining jalapenos to serve with the chili.
