- Ready In:
- 1hr 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 12
- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 3 tablespoons bacon drippings
- 4 lbs duck breasts, filets coarsely ground
- 1 large onion, coarsely ground
- 2 -3 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 (32 ounce) can whole tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons ground hot red chili peppers
- 2 tablespoons ground mild red chili peppers
- 3 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans
directions
- Melt the bacon drippings in a large saute pan over medim-high heat.
- Add the meat to the pan. Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally until the meat is evenly browned.
- Add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onions are translucent.
- Stir in the salt, oregano, cumin, water and tomatoes.
- Gradually stir in the ground chile. This is a spicy, but not blazing hot, recipe. Try it with all the chile the first time; you can always cut down the next time if you want to.
- Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 1 hour. Stir occasionally.
- Add the kidney beans after all is cooked. Let them heat in in the chili before you serve it or turn it off if you are not serving it right way.

<p>I love to cook. I love trying new recipes, especially when there is a picture. And I really enjoy reading cookbooks. <br /><br />As a child, I wasn't very good at cooking and always wanted to follow the recipe exactly. That way, if it didn't turn out right, I could blame the recipe! <br /><br />Over time, I have become more experimental. Brave even! <br /><br />I have three children: Shannon is 28, Casey is 26 and Joshua is 19. My DH Jack cheers me on when I try something new. He is my best friend and partner. I am a new grandmother, my grandson's name is Jayce and he's a delight! Plus, I'm going to be a grandmother again - with a granddaughter.<br /><br /><a href=http://s163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/TraceyMae_photos/?action=view?t=100_2166.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/TraceyMae_photos/100_2166.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><a href=http://s163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/TraceyMae_photos/?action=view?t=100_1401-1.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/TraceyMae_photos/100_1401-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><br />My favorite cookbook is The Dessert Lover's Cookbook. Beautiful pictures, easy instructions. <br /><br />I was born in New Jersey and have lived in Hawaii, Australia, Chicago, Iran, Florida and now living happily in sunny California.</p>
