i'm not going to lie. This Chili is really good.

i love Chili - but I'm not a fan of chili with tons of beans...or beans in the chili at all. so I tried this recipe, and it was sooooo good. I think I've found my recipe.

TEXAS Style CHILI

3 1/2 pound(s)	beef for stew
1/4 cup(s)	salad oil
2 medium	onions, chopped
3 medium	green peppers, diced
4 clove(s)	garlic, crushed
2 can(s)	(28-ounce) tomatoes
1 can(s)	(12-ounce) tomato paste
1/3 cup(s)	chili powder
1/4 cup(s)	sugar
2 teaspoon(s)	salt
2 teaspoon(s)	dried oregano leaves
3/4 teaspoon(s)	cracked black pepper

1. Cut beef for stew into 1/2-inch cubes. In 8-quart Dutch oven over high heat, in hot salad oil, cook one-third of meat at a time, until browned. With slotted spoon, remove meat cubes to bowl as they brown; set aside.

2. Reserve 1/2 cup onions; cover and set aside. Add green peppers, garlic, and remaining onions to drippings in Dutch oven; over medium-high heat, cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Return meat to Dutch oven; add tomatoes with their liquid, tomato paste, chili powder, sugar, salt, oregano leaves, cracked black pepper, and 2 cups water; over high heat, heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours or until meat is fork-tender, stirring occasionally.

4. Spoon chili into large bowl. Pass reserved onion to sprinkle over each serving.
