Tasty Chili Recipe

Here is a chili recipe I have put together.  The recipe has 3 different spice dumps and takes an hour to make.   The spice dumps help the chili develop a deep and robust flavor.   Many chili recipes have you brown the meat then strain the fat out.  This recipe does not do that because in addition to fat, you are straining away some of the juice from the meat that adds flavor.  The fat will be removed at a later stage using a ladle and a gravy strainer.  This method allows you to remove the fat but still keep most of the flavor.

Depending on what fat content your meat was there may a considerable amount of fat floating on the liquid.  Using a ladle, ladle the fat into a gravy strainer.  Use the gravy strainer to separate any fat and broth that you may have brought into the strainer.  Return the broth to meat and discard the fat.
