Of course no matter what our weather is...........we still get hungry for chili now and then. This happened to me last night. Just before bed, all I could think of was chili, even tho it is still running close to a hundred everyday here! Now there are tons of chili recipes........everyone has their own and everyone knows how to make chili. We enjoy two different kinds........Texas Chili and good old fashioned bean chili.
Texas Chili has no beans..........of course. When we trim fat from beef for another dish.......Bob always throws the trimmings in a baggy and freezes them. Then when he wants to make Texas Chili..........he has the beginnings........FAT........he browns the fat real well and then adds cubed beef of some kind........continues to brown.......adds onions and garlic.......and LOTS of chili powder..........I've said before.......our favorite is New Mexico Chili Powder. At this point in time you could add Tabasco, cumin, etc. Its up to you. Now he adds about 1/2 can beer and then some water and brings it all to a boil and then a simmer. THIS is good chili!
The old fashioned way..........I brown my hamburger, onions and garlic. Add lots of chili powder and cumin........a can of fire roasted tomatoes, 1/2 can of beer, a can of drained kidney beans. Bring this all to a boil and simmer............Its summer time chili!!!
