This is an old family recipe that’s always won rave reviews from guests. Best served with saltines, some shredded cheddar, and some corn bread.
- 3-3.5 lbs lean hamburger
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 large green pepper
- 1 32oz can tomatoes sauce
- 1 16 oz can of diced tomatoes (with green chili’s)
- 1 16 oz can of dark red kidney beans
- 1 tbs masa flour
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 6 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 heaping tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbs paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 12 oz beer
- 12 oz water
Saute hamburger, onion, and green pepper in large skillet. Add tomatoes sauce and diced tomatoes to a large pot with beer and water. Grandpa used Budwieser, but for a more refined flavor choose a dark micro-brew of your choice. 🙂 Drain the hamburger and add it to the large pot and bring to a simmer. Add the spices and simmer for 1 hour. Add the kidney beans and simmer for another 30 minutes.
Enjoy!
