Cooking a pot of chili con carne using 2.5 lb of 10% ground beef, cooked in low heat until they browned, added good size package of frozen garlic that I had toasted in oven with Evoo from freezer, caramelized onions from freezer and around 4 cups of my home made chile sauce from freezer.
I also added a small 5.5 oz tin of V8 juice, 1.5 tablespoon of ground espresso, and 2 chocolate truffles, 3 chipotles and 2 tablespoon of the adobo sauce.
Also 4 tins of drained beans. ( black beans, white northern beans, pinto and corn)
Chili sauce was reconstituted dehydrated chile pods ( ancho, pasilla and mulato) as well as hatch Chile and Chile de arbor, , flash toasted in oven, soaked in warm water and processed in food processor with chicken broth and Evoo, caramelized onions, oregano, bay leaf etc. .
This is simmering on top of stove, perhaps for another hour ’
Cannot taste as I am allergic to beef so when son comes home tomorrow, he can ad
just seasoning
