Sam's ThunderPimp Chili

This is for anyone going to Mazzy's Annual Chili Cookoff. This would win, trust me..


ThunderPimp Chili
1/2 lb of butter, melted (note: this is not a particularly "heart healthy" dish)
8 cups onion, chopped
2 cups green bell pepper chopped (or minced, if I do it b/c I don't like biting into bell peppers)
2 cups celery chopped
4 jalapenos, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 lbs diced smoked brisket (note: you can really use any kind of meat you'd like, but in our experience, a good smoked brisket chopped into 1/2 inch pieces is pretty divine..)
3 ounces of Two-Alarm chili mix
1 cup beef stock
2 quarts diced tomatoes
salt (to taste)
1 tblspn meat magic (recipe to follow)

in a big chili pot, melt the butter and cook the onions, peppers and celery til the onions are see-through. Add the jalapenos, garlic, meat magic and Two-Alarm chili mix and cook for 10 minutes. Add the brisket, beefstock and diced tomatoes and simmer for 1-2 hours, stirring often (til it seems right).

Added step for Pimps of Thunder*:
After about 45 minutes, we'll usually take 1/4 to 1/2 of the chili, put it in a second pot and make it REALLY Thunderpimp, which in Sam-ese means you add a couple of drops of Pure Cap (pure capsaicin oil) to it. SAFETY ALERT!--if you take this step, do NOT stand over the pot while it simmers, as it will cause you to start coughing uncontrollably and/or have trouble breathing and will feel like you just inhaled Mace (which you sortof just did)...not that I have ever done that (recently).

*The extra Thunderpimp-age is not recommended for anyone with a heart condition, working bowels and/or esophagus. All the normal people usually eat the undoctored version.

To serve:

get snack-size Frito bags
shredded cheddar cheese
chopped green onion
sour cream

split the Frito bags open, add chili and garnish at will.

Meat Magic** this is great for any kind of grilling/seasoning and lasts a long time:
1/2 cup flaked salt
4 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons white peper
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons granulated onion
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teapoons sage
4 tablespoons dry granulated garlic
2 tablespoons paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons thyme

mix all together and keep it tightly sealed in a glass jar


Enjoy!!
