6-Hour Chili
Ingredients
- 5 pounds ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 can (28 ounces) chopped tomatoes with juices
- 6 to 8 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1/3 cup cornmeal
- 2 cups unsalted beef stock
- Sour cream, chopped red onion, grated, cheddar cheese and/or chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
To ensure impeccably fresh meat, we recommend grinding it yourself with an electric meat grinder. Try using boneless chuck with some of the outer fat still attached.

Preparation
- In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, brown half the beef, about 10 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a slow cooker. Repeat with the remaining beef.
- Add the garlic, yellow onion, tomatoes with juices, chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, cornmeal and stock to the slow cooker and stir to blend.
- Cover and cook for 6 hours according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Skim the fat off the surface of the chili. Ladle the chili into warmed bowls and garnish with sour cream, red onion, cheese and/or cilantro.
