Chili Revisited
Still looking for a good chili recipe. If use kidney beans, please don't post. I just don't like them.

If you'll take it from a native New Mexican - without measurements - here's how we do it: Soak your frijoles (pinto beans) overnight, then cook slowly in a crock pot. Brown your meat (cubed pork, beef, or ground beef... it's all good) with onions, fresh garlic and chilis. If you can get fresh Anaheim or poblano peppers, we like them the best. Otherwise, drain canned green chilis (these will be Anaheim chilis) and use those. Put all the above together in a pot along with a large can of diced tomatoes (my wife likes fire roasted the best... but what does she know - she's from Central America), cumin, a couple of tablespoons of red chili powder (chili pequin) and salt to taste. If you don't like it spicy, back off the red chili powder. Personally, I like to saute some fresh jalapenos with my meat and onions - but this is the stuff on which I was weaned. You'll know when you get the proportions of the ingredients right.
