Recipe of the Week

I'm thinking I'm going to start a new column

on the blog --> Recipe of the Week.
Wouldn't it benefit all of us readers to swap some recipes? Don't know 'bout ya'll but I'm always looking for new dishes to try. I'll work on the details but for now....

CHILI

This is by far the most bizarrre recipe for chili I have ever read. I have tweaked it and it gets better every time I do - but here is the original. And it is good.

Ingredients:
2 tbs oil
2 onions, chopped
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
3 1/2 tbs chili powder
1 tbs cumin seeds
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp salt
1 lb ground beef

3/4 lb beef sirloin, cubed
1 12 oz. bottle dark beer
1 cup strong brewed coffee
4 cans kidney beans (I usu. use 2 red kidney and 1 can black)
2 6 oz cans tomato paste
4 fresh hot chile peppers, seeded and chopped
1 14 oz can beef broth
1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Heat oil and cook onions, garlic, ground beef and sirloin for 10 minutes or until meat is well browned and onions are tender. Mix in the diced tomatoes, beer, coffee, tom. paste, and beef broth. Season with br. sugar, chili powder, cumin, cocoa powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, coriander and salt. Stir in 2 cans of the beans and hot chile peppers. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Stir in the remaining beans and simmer another 30 minutes.

I'll warn you that it is spicy...your kids may not like it. It's unusual and like I said, it's good.
