New Mexico Tomatoless Chili

Ingredients:

2 lb. chili meat- not ground meat!
5 tsb. fresh chopped garlic
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil

Use A Cast Iron Dutch Oven Or Large Cast Iron Skillet
Combine above ingredients and cook over medium heat until meat looks done, about 35 Min.

Then add:

4 Tbsp. Chili Powder- More if desired
4 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cumin
4-5 cups warm water
Paprika for color (the key is paprika and chili powder to
make rich red color without the tomatoes)
1/2 good lager Beer

Preparation:

Cook 30 minutes longer without lid. It is even better if cooked very slowly covered for about an hour!

Serve over cooked "dark red" kidney beans. Top with grated colby style chesse and some good and hot japalenos chopped onion and your choice of Hot Sauce (non-tomato)
