Hot-Sauce Chili

Directions

In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat; add the beef and cook for 5 minutes then drain off the liquid.

Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned on all sides and the onion is tender.

Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper sauce; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Add the water and chilies and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Uncover and simmer for 45 more minutes or until the beef is fork-tender, stirring occasionally.

Notes: Serve over rice and garnish with chopped onions, shredded cheese, and sour cream, if desired.
