For the Chili:
- 3 dried Anaheim chiles, stemmed and seeded
- 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1½ pounds ground beef chuck meat
- 1 cup minced onions
- 1 tbsp. minced garlic
- 1 tbsp. chili powder

- 1½ cups tomato sauce
- 1 cup cooked kidney beans or rojo Chiquito beans
For the toppings:

Begin by preparing the chilis: Toast the peppers in a skillet on high heat for a few minutes, until you can smell their aroma. Place the peppers in a saucepan with two cups of water and boil the peppers for five minutes. Put the peppers in a blender with one cup of the water and blend until the peppers are pureed.
In a Dutch oven over medium heat, heat the oil and brown the beef, onions, and garlic.
Stir in all the spices, the pepper puree and the tomato sauce. Cover, and simmer on low heat for forty minutes.
Add the beans, cover, and cook for five minutes.
Top each serving with the toppings.
