How To Make double the fun chili

  • 1
    Cook the ground beef in a skillet until done and drain well. In a large pot, cook the cubed sirloin until done. Drain any excess fat. Add the cooked ground beef and 1 Tbsp chili powder and dash of salt to the pot and stir together.
  • 2
    Add the remaining ingredients in order, stir well and bring to a low boil/simmer on low heat. Cover and cook about 2 1/2 to 3 hours stirring occasionally.

    ***Note*** If you don't want too much kick only use one jalapeno and omit the hot sauce, but add another 1/2 to 1 Tbsp of chili powder. Also, start with just 2 cups of water, if it is still too thick slowly add the remaining water until it reaches desired consistency.
  • 4
    Serve hot. If desired top with shredded cheddar cheese and diced green onion and a side of cornbread or tortilla chips.

    This recipe can also be done in a large Crockpot. Follow the directions but cook on low heat setting for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally.
