1 pound stew beef cut in bit sized chunks, trimmed
1 onion large, diced
2 large carrot regular or 1 very, cut diced
2 tablespoons chipotle peppers to taste, in adobo, you can always add more later**
1 tablespoon garlic very finely diced
28 ounces diced tomatoes
1/2 cup bell pepper red sweet, diced, substitute: 1 heaping Tablespoon of paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil *, see below
15 ounces pinto beans drained and rinsed
15 ounces black beans drained and rinsed
15 ounces red kidney beans drained and rinsed
salt to taste, Best to adjust salt and spice level after the chili has rested.

1
Heat till very hot a heavy bottomed Dutch oven prior to adding oil. ( *The Bacon Lover Option: Instead of oil substitute 2-3 slices of bacon chopped into small dice. Start by sauteing the bacon, remove the bacon to the side, and use 2 T of the bacon drippings to saute the beef, onions and carrots.) Follow the rest of method and add bacon pieces back in when sauteing is done Brown all beef chunks well on every side for best flavor. Do not turn the chunks too quickly, let them sit in one spot and really get that deep brown color.
2
Move beef to the side, add chopped onions, carrots and let the onions get translucent. Add the garlic (being careful not to burn) and chipotle. Stir well. Add canned tomatoes and paprika now or if using red bell pepper wait an hour to add so it will keep its form.
3
Stir thoroughly, simmer over low heat for at least 1 hour until beef is almost fork tender. Add cans of drained and rinsed beans and continue cooking 30 minutes. The flavors will meld by letting the chili rest a while before serving or overnight.
4
Adjust salt and spices after chili has rested a while so that all the flavors totally meld with each other
5
Serving suggestion - with tortilla chips, jalapeno peppers and sour cream on the side per your own personal taste. Corn muffins would also be lovely on the side.
6
This recipe doesn't use the whole can of chili in adobo to save for another time blend the remaining amount, then add to small ziplock bag and freeze flat. When you need more just cut off how much you'll need and store whatever is left in the freezer.
