It's from self-proclaimed chili queen Cindy Reed Wilkins (who is the only competitor to win the coveted Terlingua International Chili championship two years in a row). It's easy enough to make without jumping through many hoops.<br /><br />2 tablespoons olive oil<br />2 pounds ground beef<br />1 (14-ounce) can beef broth (recommended: Swanson's)<br />1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce (recommended: Hunt's)<br /><br /><b>Batch one</b>:<br />1 tablespoon onion powder<br />2 tablespoons garlic powder<br />1/2 teaspoon jalapeno powder<br />1/2 teaspoon salt<br />1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper<br />1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules<br />1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules<br /><br /><b>Batch two</b>:<br />5 tablespoons red chili powder<br />1 teaspoon garlic powder<br />1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper<br />2 teaspoons ground cumin<br />1/4 teaspoon brown sugar<br /><br /><b>Batch three</b>:<br />1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper<br />1/2 teaspoon garlic powder<br />1/2 teaspoon onion powder<br />2 teaspoons chili powder<br />1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin<br /><br />In a large heavy bottom pot (I use my 6.5 qt. Calphalon), heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and drain off the excess grease. Add the tomato sauce and the beef broth and simmer for 1 hour. Add all of the ingredients from Batch one, stir and simmer for 35 more minutes. Add Batch two to the pot and cook for another 20 minutes, stirring often. Add Batch three and cook for 10 more minutes. Let cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. <br /><br /> <br />Recipe Summary<br />Difficulty: Easy<br />Prep Time: 10<br />Inactive Prep Time: 90<br />CookTime: 120<br />Yield: 6 servings
