Servings: persons

2 lbs lean ground beef
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 large onion, chopped
2 jalapenos, finely diced, unseeded
1 habanero, finely diced unseeded (optional)
8 ripe tomatoes, Underipe will not do
4 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (16 ounce) can pinto beans or 1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans
1 ½ tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 lime, every last bit of Juice from squeezed into pot

1
Combine Ground Beef, Garlic, Onion, and Peppers in Dutch Oven; cook until meat is done and veggies are translucent, chopping meat as you go to your ideal chunk size.
2
Meanwhile, blanch and peel tomatoes.
3
Hand shred them into crockpot, removing any hard white veins you run across.
4
Shred very fine, and be warned, juice will splash, so be careful not to get sprayed.
5
Tomatoes will provide all the liquid needed.
6
When ground beef is fully cooked, either dump the Dutch Oven into the crockpot or drain and pour in without the fat (flavor?)
7
Your choice.
8
Cook on low for as long as possible.
9
The longer the wait, the better it tastes.
10
Serve with whatever you like (Crackers, Shredded Cheese, Sour Cream.
11
).
12
For a fun twist, I like to mix in a hot dog or two and some oyster crackers and cheese for a bowl of chili cheese dog stew.
