[74-911]

This is my recipe for what I consider a more traditional Texas Chili (and actually has won a couple of awards) :

2 # chili grind beef
1# ground pork
1 Med. Onion chopped
5-6 garlic cloves chopped
20 oz. Tomato sauce
6 red chili peppers
¼ C. chili powder
1 t. salt
1 t. cayenne pepper
1 t. Louisiana tobasco sauce
1 T. oregano
1 T. Cumin
1 T. Paprika

Brown meat, onion, garlic. Add tomato sauce and ¼ C water and stir. Add
Everything else and stir well. Add water to cover and simmer 2 hours.

Blend 2 T. flour and ¼ cup water. When well blended stir in slowly and cook until slightly thickened.

Note: this makes a fairly good sized pot. You can probably cut in half easily. If you can’t find ground pork (NOT sausage), just substitute more chili grind beef or hamburger grind.

Served best with good flour tortillas and ice cold coke (or beer). Some like to top the bowl off with shredded cheddar cheese.
