Tito Jorge's Black Magic Chili

Ingredients:

2 pounds Beef Stew Meat

3 cans (15oz) Black Beans
2 cans (15oz) Diced Tomatos
1 Large Red Onion (diced)
3 cloves Garlic (diced)
4 large Anaheim peppers (diced)
1 Large Jalapino pepper (diced)
2 Tablespoons all purpose flour (I use Wondra)
2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
1 Tablespoon Red Pepper Flakes
1 Tablespoon Paprika
1 Tablespoon Ground Cumin

I make this in my 14" Cast Iron wok ... but you can use a Dutch oven, large pot or even a Slow Cooker ...

Brown the meat and add Onion and garlic - cook until the onions are translucent.

Sprinkle in all purpose flour to make a rue (you may need more or less - I just sprinkle it in until it "looks right").

Add the Black Beans undrained.

Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat, cover and simmer on "low" for 2 hours.
(If using a Slow Cooker cook on "low" 6 to 12 hours for best results)

NOTE: You can substitute Bell Peppers for the Anaheim Peppers or add more Jalapino Peppers if you want more heat or use none at all ... its up to you!

I always easy go on the heat myself - but you can do what you want ...
