It's superbowl time. Now, I am not a big football fan, but I do love traditions, and reasons to get together and eat! This got me in the spirit to share my Holy Mole chili.
This recipe, much like many we all have contain loose measurements and are subject to tweaking at any time, so feel free to make it your own. I will give you the basic idea...
Ingredients:
5 Alarm chili kit (I omit the salt)
2 lbs your favorite chili meat
2 cans your favorite chili beans
chopped onions and garlic
jars of
tomato paste,stewed tomatoes,tomato sauce, whatever tomato products sound good...
in the amount that makes the thick or thin chili of your choice
Rotele chilis
Chipotles in adobo sauce (depending on how hot you like it...I usually use half and use the other half mixed with Raspberry preserves for a kick ass maride for pork chops or mix it in with ground beef for amazing burgers)
large palmful or so of Mexene brand chili powder(this one is one thing that needs to be brand specific I think!)
Several good shakes of cumin, cinnamon and black pepper
Good palmful or so of cocoa powder--I like dark cocoa powder the best.
Cook up the meat, throw in the fresh onions and garlic, green peppers too if you feel like it. Add in all the tomato stuff, beans,then all the spices except the masa. Simmer about a half hour or till you remember. Add in masa mixed with 1/4 cup warm water. Mix in with chili and simmer til your ready to devour.
Everyone has their preference how they serve their chili. I like fresh chopped onions and shredded cheese on mine. Luke loves to enjoy his with crackers and peanut butter.
However you prefer it, enjoy!!
