This is the chili recipe that my mom has made for our family since I was a child. This recipe is not spicy nor is it bound together with tomato sauce/paste.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 lbs ground chuck
1/4 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 can diced tomato (1 pound plus)
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 cup red wine
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained
Directions:
1. In a large pot, saute oil, onion, garlic, and ground chuck until the ground chuck is brown (drain off oil if you desire at this point).
2. In a small bowl, dissolve chili powder in boiling water.
3. Add chili powder/water mixture to the meat mixture; mix well.
4. Add tomatoes, salt, oregano, and basil to the meat mixture; mix well.
5. Simmer covered over low heat for 1 hour.
6. Stir in red wine and kidney beans.
7. Simmer uncovered over low heat for another 20 minutes.
