The days have been
getting cooler here in North East Texas which gets me in the mood to make chili. This 8-Hour Chili recipe is one that I created several years ago. When the church announced that they were having a Chili Cook Off, I new I had to enter my recipe. One of the rules going into the contest was to name your recipe which I had not done yet. I kept thinking about it, and came up with the name 8-Hour Chili, since it takes 8 hours to cook it to perfection. So going into the contest, it was just 8-Hour Chili, and coming out of the contest, it became
Blue Ribbon 8-Hour Chili. To my delight, I won first place overall.
3 lbs. lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 15 oz. can Ranch Style Beans
1 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 10 oz. can
Rotel Tomatoes
4 8 oz. can tomato sauce
8 green onions chopped
1/2 cup onions, minced
4 whole jalapenos, fresh or canned, seeded and minced
1/4 cup canned jalapeno juice
4 tablespoons Williams Chili Seasoning
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 cups water
In a large skillet, brown ground beef with salt and pepper. Transfer browned meat to a large Crock Pot. Add remaining ingredients in the order as listed. Stir until mixed well. Cook in Crock Pot on High for 8 hours. Stirring occasionally. Serves 10-12.
