Ics World Championship Bowl Of Red
Description
This championship-winning red chili is a hearty, comforting classic that relies on simple, high-quality ingredients for maximum impact. Slow-cooked beef chunks absorb the rich flavors of tomato paste, robust chili powder, and earthy cumin, creating a thick, satisfying stew. The grated onions melt into the sauce, adding sweetness and body without distinct chunks. Perfect for cold winter evenings, game day gatherings, or a cozy weekend dinner, this dish improves with age. Serve it hot with a dash of Tabasco for an extra kick, and enjoy the deep, savory satisfaction of a slow-simmered meal.Ingredients
Directions

Place a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the cubed beef. Sauté until browned on all sides.

Transfer the browned beef to a large pot. Add the grated onions, minced garlic, chicken broth, and 1 cup of water.

Cover the pot and simmer gently for 1 hour and 30 minutes, allowing the beef to begin tenderizing.

Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, and Tabasco sauce. Mix thoroughly to combine.
-
Reduce heat to low and continue cooking uncovered for another hour, stirring occasionally.
-
Check the consistency during the final hour; add hot water as needed if the chili becomes too thick.
-
After a total of three hours, taste the chili and add additional Tabasco sauce if desired for more heat.

Note
Storage: This chili tastes even better the next day. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Substitutions: You can substitute the top round with chuck roast for a fattier, more tender result. Use beef broth instead of chicken broth for a deeper meaty flavor.
Tip: Grating the onions helps them melt into the sauce, creating a smoother texture compared to chopped onions. Adjust the amount of garlic to your personal preference.
