Is there anything much better that the aroma that fills the house on a cool fall day when chili is on the stove cooking? I recall those childhood days when coming home from school, walking in the door to find chili on the stove cooking for our evening meal. Usually there was a skillet of cornbread fresh out of the oven to be served with the chili. <\/p>\n

Try this chili recipe that is sure to warm you up on a cool day!<\/p>\n

\nChili with Beef Tips<\/p>\n

2 pounds beef tips
\n1 large onion, diced
\n3 cloves garlic, diced
\n1 Tablespoon ground cumin
\n2 Tsp paprika
\n1 Tablespoon pure chili powder
\n1 can (28 ounce size) crushed tomatoes
\n1 can Rotel tomatoes (I use mild)
\n1 can (16 ounce size) dark red kidney beans
\n1 can tomato juice (46 oz. size)<\/p>\n

Garnishes
\nchopped scallions
\nsour cream
\nshredded Cheddar cheese<\/p>\n

Cook the meat in salty water until done. I use a pressure cooker, but stovetop cooking is fine. Remove the meat and reserve the liquid for seasoning in the chili.<\/p>\n

Saut\u00e9 the onions and garlic until translucent.<\/p>\n

In a large Dutch oven, add the tomatoes, beef, cumin and chili powder. Add the onions and garlic and stir well. Add 3 cups of tomato juice. Stir to combine ingredients, then bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let the chili simmer for 2 hours or more. The longer the better. I usually turn mine down to low heat and let it simmer most of the day. Or, place in a crockpot.<\/p>\n

Add reserved liquid (from the meat) at any point needed. It all depends on how thick you want your chili. I like mine chunky, so I add very little liquid after the chili begins to simmer.<\/p>\n

Add the beans the last 30 minutes of cooking.<\/p>\n

Serve with grated or chunks of cheese, scallions, and a dollop of sour cream.<\/p>\n
