Ronnie’s Buddy Luis’s Famous Chili
Ronnie used to work with a guy named Luis, who was well known throughout the office for his delicious chili recipe. Luis would bring it in every fall and the whole office would rave about it. When Ronnie left that company, naturally, he had to ask for the recipe. Luis obliged, and we’ve made it 1-2 times per year ever since. Our friends and family drool over this Chili, so I’m sharing it here just in case you want to recreate this deliciousness at home — all thanks to Luis! Warning: cook this at your own risk! It’s a little spicy, but guaranteed to satisfy (and cause temporary weight gain in the realm of 1-3 lbs because it’s so damn good).
Note: You are going to need a big ass pot for cooking all of this in!
What you’ll Need
1 pound ground beef
1 pound skirt steak
2 pounds boneless short rib
2 cup chopped onion
2 chopped green bell pepper
6 tablespoons chili powder
3 clove garlic, minced
2 bay leaf
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 fresh roma tomatos (cut into quarters)
2 finely chopped jalapeno chile peppers
2 serrano peppers
2 poblano peppers
5 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes (Fire roasted the best)
2 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 (16 ounce) can chili beans, drained
1 bundle celery
How to Make
First, let’s get our meat and peppers ready for their big day!
In a large pot over medium high heat, combine beef, onion, celery and bell peppers. Sauté for until beef is browned (~5 min). Drain excess fat.
Now, give them some incredible flavor.
Add chili powder, garlic, bay leaf, cumin, chile peppers, tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt and pepper. Stir well. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, for 3 1/2 hours.
Finish things up with yummy beans.
When Chili is done cooking, stir in the beans and heat through.
Enjoy!
