Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 cups chopped onions

Salt

Cayenne

2 pounds stew meat

1 tablespoon chili powder

2 teaspoons ground cumin

Crushed red pepper

2 teaspoons dried oregano

2 tablespoons chopped garlic

3 cups crushed tomatoes

1/4 cup tomato paste

2 cups beef stock

1 cup canned dark red kidney beans

2 tablespoons masa flour

4 tablespoons water

1 bag Tortilla Chips

1 1/2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese

6 tablespoons sour cream

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and saute for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the vegetables start to wilt. Season with salt and cayenne. Stir in the stew meat, chili powder, cumin, crushed red pepper, and oregano. Brown the meat for 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, beef stock, and beans.

Spoon the chili over the chips. Garnish with the grated cheese, sour cream and jalapenos.

I have tries to make chili the way I like it for years with no success. This recipe comes close to perfection. It has the best consistency of meat, beans and broth/gravy. Yes that is the key to the best chili the gravy. I made a couple of adjustments to make it my own but this is right on point. I use ground beef and 3 cups of beef stock but other than that, this is the best!
