Whitney'S Chili

1. 1

   Put a small amount of olive oil in a large pot and heat over medium high heat. Add ground meats and saute until brown. Add steak and garlic, saute additional 3 minutes. Add water and add chile powder, cayenne, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to boil, and reduce to simmer for 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and sugar, mix well and simmer additional 10 minutes. Add onions and cook uncovered at a low simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Add tomatoes and beans, cook 10 minutes more. Thin as desired with beef broth (you may not use it all). Heat through, then add cilantro. Correct seasonings as desired. Best if chilled overnight and served the next day, but also good immediately.

2. 2

   Serve with sour cream, fresh cilantro, diced white onion and cheddar cheese to garnish.
