"I agree with everyone else who says, the measurements in this recipe are way off! After reading some reviews, and watching the video on youtube in slow motion, here is what I've come up with:
Ingredients:
2.5 lbs Ground Beef
28oz Can Diced Tomatoes
1 Cup Dark Chili Powder
1/4 Cup Ground Chili Pepper
3/4 Cup Paprika
1 Large White Onion, Diced
1/4 Cup Freshly Pureed Garlic
1/8 Cup Cumin
1/8 Cup Dried Chili Flakes
1/16 Cup Salt
1/16 Cup Pepper
1/16 Cup Sugar
Mix all ingredients in a large pot. Once mixed, put onto the stove on high heat for 10 minutes. Turn down to low, cover, and let simmer for 2 hours, keeping the lid on and stirring every 30 minutes.
After cooking for 2 hours, taste. If needed, add 1/8 cup Ground Chili Pepper, 2 Tbsp Cumin, 2 Tbsp Dry Chili Flakes. Adjust any other spices to taste.
Mix, Cover, and cook on low for another 3 hours, keeping the lid on and stirring every 30 minutes.
To serve, top with fresh diced white onion and shredded cheese.
