Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
-I've lost and found this recipe numerous times over the past 15 years. This looks like the original version. I usually
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1½ cup Celery, chopped
1½ cup Green pepper, chopped
2 cans Tomatoes, cut up (or stewed tomatoes)(26 oz. cans)
3 cans Red kidney beans, rinse and drain (16 oz. cans)
½ cup Raisins
¼ cup Red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons Chili powder
2 teaspoons Cumin
2 teaspoons Salt make it for camping/rally groups of 50 or more people. It's easy and good. Makes 4-6 Servings.
1½ teaspoon Basil, dried, crushed
2 teaspoons Oregano, dried, crushed
1½ teaspoon Cumin, ground
1 teaspoon Allspice, ground
½ teaspoon Pepper
¼ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 Bay leaf
1 can Beer (12 oz.)
¾ cup Cashews or peanuts
1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
(Monterey Jack or Colby work fine also)

Directions

NOTE

INGREDIENTS

Heat oil in 4-5qt pot. Add ingredients from section one, cooking with cover until tender but not browned. Stir in undrained tomatoes, and all the ingredients in section 2. Simmer for 1-2 hours. 30 minutes before serving stir in beer and nuts and simmer uncovered until it's the desired consistency. Sprinkle cheese on each serving.

For some reason I have met up with strange looks and "Raisins in chili?" when I told in advance what I used to make it. Peanuts are less expensive than cashews so I use either. As usual season to taste, this is a mild version for a starting point. I have also made the same chili and added 1 1/2lb browned ground beef without changing any of the above.
