Cozy Texas Chili
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons cooking oil
  • 3 pounds beef top sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 pounds sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 20 ounces diced tomatoes
  • 3 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
  • 6 tablespoons chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup masa (corn flour)
Instructions
1
Preheat your cooking surface by heating the oil in a large, deep container over an intermediate temperature; cook the steak, sausage, onion, green pepper, red pepper, yellow pepper, and garlic in the container until the onions and peppers are tender, approximately 5 minutes.
2
Mix the ingredients together by adding the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken bouillon, honey, and kidney beans to the pot; bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
3
Gradually incorporate the spices one at a time by adding the cayenne pepper, chili powder, oregano, black pepper, salt, and sugar to the pot; stir well after each addition.
4
Blend the cheese into the chili by sprinkling it in small portions and stirring to melt; this will help create a uniform flavor.
5
Reduce the heat to a low setting and cook the chili slowly for about 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
6
Thicken the chili by mixing in the masa and then simmering it for 10 minutes, resulting in a rich and satisfying dish.
