Tried this courtesy of Sandra Lee (Food Network), normally I would not try her recipes but this had no beans and very little chili powder which I don't care for. Plus it was rated 5 stars and was delicious. I used my crock pot but can be done stove top.
Colorado Chili:
2 lbs. chuck beef stewing meat, cut into bite size pieces
1 tsp. salt and pepper
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 small red onion, chopped
3 (4oz.) cans diced green chilis
1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon
1 cup tomato puree
1 tbsp. Mexican seasoning
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 cup low sodium beef stock
2 scallions, slices.
Add and heat oil in skillet. Season beef with S & P and sear meat on all sides. Whisk tomato puree, seasonings, chili powder and stock and pour in crock pot. Add cooked beef, bacon, onion and canned chilis. Stir. Cook on high 4 to 6 hours (depending on your crock pot) or until beef is tender. Serve in bowls and top with diced scallions.
Just enough heat and spice, which we like.
