Chili con carne of minced meat as a second course

Fiery-burning recipe from Mexican machos! Chili con carne in Spanish means "chili with meat". A spicy dish of real Mexican macho and harsh Texas cowboys, cooked from beef and hot pepper. Meat is preferably beef, finely chopped or in the form of minced meat. The amount of hot pepper is selected according to taste, maybe up to 8 peppers per 1 kg of meat. Moreover, there is such a nuance: the more peppers you cut, the sharper, hotter the Chili will be. Therefore, in this recipe, we will cut 2 peppers, and put one whole, for flavor.The remaining ingredients are added depending on taste preferences: tomatoes, beans, onions, garlic and spices. Moreover, Chili con carne with beans is considered a Mexican version, harsh cowboys preferred not to dilute chili beans. For piquancy, a little honey or cocoa (chocolate) is sometimes put at the end of cooking. Ready-made Chili is eaten as a stew or with rice.
