10 hour cooked chili

Gosh i haven't done a recipe in a while in fact i haven't done much cooking as this pregnancy is making me so poorly.  However i made a 10 hour chili which is a great dish to cook at breakfast and leave cooking all day long and eat at dinner time.  I find that cooking this dish long and slow gives the dish real depth in flavour.  I tend to cook this dish on about 100 for half the day then knock it down to 50 for the rest of the day, make sure the dish is covered so it does not dry out and give it stirs through the day as you walk past your cooker.

I don't use mince meat but use lumps of beef, as this is cooked long and slow stewing beef which is a cheaper cut can be good for this and will hold its shape due to any fat and grainier meat structure. A slightly better cut of beef can also be used but the cooking process really makes the meat tenderise so it could fall apart when eaten which is just as good and delicious.  I also use a bit of pork in my dish to give a difference in texture and flavour.
