Welcome to Smoked-Meat... Your not leaving yourself much time to test drive a new chili recipe..

Not sure what area of the country your at, this will dictate what flavores the chili will have.. Since you are requesting a chili with no fillers (beans, oats, rice) you are looking for a Chili Con Carne...

Here is a recipe of Texas Red I like to use.. (No it's not my Cookoff recipe guys)

2 pounds beef or venison
2-3 small onions, chopped
3-4 jalepeno peppers, chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, chopped
4-5 tablespoons ground chili power
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt (about 1/2 teaspoon)
3 Cup water

In a large skillet brown the meat. Drain off the fat and add
the onions, peppers, garlic, oregano, spices and salt. Cook
until the onions are translucent. Add to a large Dutch oven,
crock pot, or heavy bottomed pot. Add enough water to cover
and simmer for a couple of hours. Add more water if needed.

Man...Great to have ya here! Reckon that there recipe oughta be purty dern tasty!

[Hippy]

Instead of chilli powder I always use good dried chiles. (6ancho,4guajillo,2chipotle) De-seed them, tear them up, toast in some oil. Then add a beer to the pan and steam with a lid for 10 min. Puree in a food processor with toasted cumin seed. Add oregano,cayenne to the thin paste.

Brown ribeye cubed with onions and fresh garlic. Dump the chile sauce over the meat and cook untill thick.Check for s&p.

Top with fresh diced white onion, fried tortilla strips, Cotija cheese and cilantro.

Thats how i like it!
