How To Make big bill's "win or lose" chili

  • Step 1
    In a large pot heat the ground chuck in vegetable oil, I like to use a potato masher to push down the beef as it is browning, once brown drain fat from meat. Add onions, pepper to the beef(green & jalapeno & can green chili) cook over med heat unti onions are soft. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, sugar, thyme, cayenne, oregano and black pepper-heat over med. heat stirring often for 15 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Pour in beef broth, pinto beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, cider vinegar stir to mix well reduce heat and let it simmer at least 3 hours. 10 minutes before serving combine your "Mesa" mixture of 2tbs cornmeal and warm water until it forms a slight paste and stir thoroughly into your chili. Top with Cheddar & Jalapeno ENJOY!!!
  • Step 3
    Serve with a skillet of Cornbread as the finishing touch....mmmmm down home goodness
