Mr. and Mrs. Tenorman Chili

For those wondering, no I did not make my chili out of people. Unlike Cartman in South Park in the episode Scott Tenorman Must Die. But I wanted to name my carnivorous chili something that would stick in your minds. Like as if I made it out of people. Luckily for you my chili is 100% beef with some deliciousness mixed in.

There are a few cooking methods you can choose from in this recipe. I'll tell you how I did it, and then towards the end give you the alternatives. Sound good? Great.

Mr. and Mrs. Tenorman Chili
2 lbs ground chuck beef
16 oz tomato sauce
6 oz tomato paste
4 oz diced green Anaheim peppers (Fresh & Easy has a good organic canned green peppers in the "Latin" aisle)
1 cup beef broth
4 chipotle peppers, diced (The canned ones are perfect because they have the oils and juices all contained within!)
Chili seasonings - 1/4 cup total: chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder.


My method: Place all ingredients in a crock pot. Set on "high" and cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. TASTE YOUR FOOD WHILE IT'S COOKING. Add more seasonings, broth, peppers to your taste. I ended up adding more chili powder and black pepper. The consistency you want is a nice thick chili. Not soupy. But if it starts getting too thick for you, just add a little beef broth until it is to your liking.

Super simple, right? Well here are two more ways you can make your chili.

Method 2: Same as above, but cook on "low" for 8 hours. This method is for those who will be gone all day and want dinner ready when you come home from work or school.

Method 3: In a large saucepan, brown beef on medium heat with about 2 TBL olive oil/coconut oil. Add tomato paste, sauce, chilies, broth and seasonings. Cover, and cook on medium-low heat for 2-3 hours or until you have a thick consistency.


Serve hot. We ate this just as it is. You can add raw chopped onions, or add a little hot sauce if you like! Or put it on some hot dogs... mmm... :P Obviously, if you are not Paleo, add cheese or french fries to make this super carb-a-icious.
