1 1/2	pounds	ground beef, lean
3	cloves	garlic	minced
1	medium	onion	diced
1	medium	sweet bell pepper	diced
1	each	jalapeno pepper	optional
3	tablespoons	flour, all-purpose
1	tablespoon	oregano
1	tablespoon	paprika
1	tablespoon	cumin

1	x	salt	to taste
4	cups	beef broth	or stock
2	cans	pinto beans	or red beans, drained
8	each	soda crackers	crushed

Directions

Brown meat in dutch oven or heavy pot.

Drain excess grease and add garlic, onion and pepper, sautéing until slightly softened.

Add flour, stirring and scraping pan until very lightly browned; add all seasonings and mix thoroughly.

Add 4 cups broth or stock, or 4 cups water and 4 boullion cubes.

Bring to a boil and simmer about 45 minutes.

Add beans and bring back to a simmer, cooking long enough to heat beans through, about 10 minutes.

Add sufficient cracker crumbs for desired consistency, being careful not to over thicken.

Chili is better if allowed to sit for several hours to overnight for flavors to blend, reheating if necessary.

Adjust all seasonings to taste.

Freezes very well.

This chili won our office chili cook-off with some modifications. Round steak cubed about 3/8". Brooks Mild Chili beans. No soda crackers; and cut back on the stock (or thicken with extra corn meal). Let sit overnight then add salt and cayenne.

Shrimp Paesano

The bigger the shrimp, the easier it is..I have been doing this over and over and love it. I used to work at Paesano's many years ago, when there was one in Corpus Christi, TX...and this is very good copycat!
