Savor the flavor of this chili. Filled with hot and spicy ingredients slowly simmered with stew meat and hamburger.

Fireside Chili

2 pounds beef stew meat, diced
1 pound lean ground beef
2 cups hot water
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
2 onions, peeled and chopped
1 jalapeño chile, seeded and minced (see note)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon crushed dried oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, brown stew meat and beef; drain. Add water, tomato sauce, onion, jalapeño, garlic and hot pepper sauce. Bring to a oil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in chili powder, oregano, cumin, paprika, dry mustard, salt and cayenne pepper. Gently simmer for 1-1/2 hours. Serve warm.

Makes 8 servings.

Note: Working with jalapeños or other chiles: Capsaicin is the ingredient in chiles that causes the burning sensation associated with fresh peppers. It's a good idea to use rubber gloves when handling fresh chiles. (Disposable surgical gloves, available at most drugstores, work best for this.) If you choose not to use gloves, be extremely careful not to touch any part of your body, especially your eyes. After you've finished handling the chiles, wash your knife and cutting board with hot soapy water to ensure that there is no carry-over to other foods that may come in contact with the peppers.
