There's a mix that you can get at any local gourmet joint. it's called "Kick yo ass hot" chili fixins. Comes with everything you need except the meat. And a packet of Habenero pepper so you can add the as much or as little heat as you want. it's good stuff. They also have "Kick yo ass" beer cornbread mix.

Chili or chile?

i believe he had it right...isn't 'chili' the stew-like recipe, whereas 'chile' refers to a pepper?

I like green chile.

Much better than Texas chili.

I prefer Texas style chili (no beans or tomato) I have experimented with a number of recipes, but can't remember what exactly. This one looks like a good starting point though.

The only things I would do differently would be to remove the pulp from the skin of the chili's for a smoother texture. And I would use arrowroot to thicken instead of corn masa.

Leave the ribs in the jalapenos for more heat. Although if you buy a can of Chipotle peppers, it adds some good flavor. Just blend them as is.

Ingredients:

2 pounds lean beef trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
6-8 cloves garlic minced
2 Jalapenos - cored, seeded, and diced
1 quart of water, or 2 cans of chicken or beef broth
1 tablespoon each ground Cumin and ground Mexican Oregano
8 Ancho chile pods
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:
Lightly brown the beef, garlic, and jalapeno using olive oil in
a heavy skillet.

Transfer cooked mixture to cooking pot.

Drain fat, if any, deglaze skillet with water or broth by
bringing to boil. Turn off the heat, and add the stemmed and
seeded chile pods. Cover and allow the pods to soften for 20-30
minutes.

Transfer pods and some liquid to blender. Start blending on low
speed and increase to higher speed gradually. Add liquid as
necessary to keep puree moving until all liquid is incorporated
into the chili puree and it is smooth.

Pour sauce over meat, partially cover and simmer until tender.
The longer the better.

Add ground cumin and oregano approximately 1 hour before serving
to maintain their flavor.

Add small crushed red chiles or tabasco if more heat is desired.

Thicken, if required, with 2 tablespoons of masa harina or flour
added to a little water and cook uncovered an additional 20
minutes.

Nah, beans are just an inexpensive way to stretch the meal. They add nothing but a mushy texture.

I've never had (or heard of for that matter) chili without tomatoes. Sounds "weird" - kind of like Manhattan clam chowder. I would be interested to try the "Texas Style" chili before dismissing it.
