Beanless Chili

Whenever my mother would make chili, I'd pick the hamburger out & just eat it. I can't stand beans, which is why this chili gets a thumbs-up from me! Based off the Skyline Chili (I saw a show on the food network & went off hunting down a recipe for it) This also freezes beautifully (which is good, seeing as how much it makes!)

• Ready In: 3 hrs 30 mins
• Serves: 10

Ingredients

• 3  lbs ground beef
• 1  cup  finely chopped onion
• 5  pieces  finely chopped garlic
• 1⁄4 cup  vegetable oil
• 3  cups tomato puree
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1  teaspoon ground coriander
• 4  jalapeno peppers
• 4  cubanelle peppers
• 1  teaspoon black pepper
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons oregano
• 3  tablespoons chili powder

Directions

1. To prepare the peppers - Cut them in half, get rid of all the seeds. Then steam them in 1 inch of water for 15 minutes. Let them cool, then scoop out the pulp.
2. Brown the ground beef with the onions & garlic. When browned, add all the other ingredients.
3. Cover & simmer for 3+ hours, stirring occasionally.
4. Serve over pasta or beans (if you like them), with cheese on top. (servings are calculated if you serve it this way - if you eat it as is, it's closer to 5 or 6).
