Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups/Stews

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound ground beef
2 onions -- cut in chunks
1 green pepper -- cut bite-size
1 red pepper -- cut bite-size
hot chili peppers -- chopped, to taste
4 garlic cloves -- chopped
1 can tomatoes - (29 oz) -- cut up,
reserving their juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
6 cups beef stock
4 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cans black beans - (15 1/2 oz ea) -- drained, rinsed
(thus reducing the explosive side
effects)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt -- to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste
=== GARNISH ===
Chopped fresh cilantro
Grated white Cheddar cheese

Brown the beef in a large saucepan until oil forms in the pan. Toss in the
onions, garlic, and all the peppers and sauté until soft. Stir in the
chopped tomatoes (reserving juice) and let them cook down over medium heat
for about 10 minutes.

Stir in the vinegar, and let it cook down. Pour in the reserved tomato
juice, the beef stock, and the tomato paste. Bring to a boil. Add the
beans and let boil for several minutes.

Reduce the heat, stir in the chili powder and cumin, partially cover, and
let simmer for 30 minutes.

When ready to serve, ladle into bowls and garnish with grated cheese and
chopped cilantro. Pass a bowl of tortilla chips while you're at it.

Serve hot with tortilla chips to 8 stalwart fans.

Comments: No matter where you're watching the game, and no matter how many
snacks and munchies are laying around, there's just nothing like the taste
of chili to pep up the plays. This recipe is especially nice because, as a
soup, it's not as filling as a pure chili con carne, but it's wonderfully
authentic...creating a perfect small sweat on the back of your head. Just
what this year's fans in freezing Atlanta need.
