You want some good chili............drop all those bullschit recipes with beans,Turkey and **** ing kale???

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 pounds boneless​ beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 large onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup chili powder

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon dried mexican oregano

3 cups beef broth

1 cup tomato sauce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Sear the beef in the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until browned. Do this in batches if necessary.

After the beef is browned well, add the onions to the pot and saute for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Add all the remaining ingredients except 1/8th cup of the chili powder and bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. One half hour before chili is ready add the other 1/8th cup chili powder,add water if necessary to make it thicker or thinner, as desired.

Beans are just filler..........real cattle trail chili was about showcasing Texas beef.In New Mexico its more about showcasing chili peppers,green or red.

Chili isn't the religious thing in SoCal that it is in Texas, so I never really viewed chili as a showcasing dish, but now that you mention it that makes perfect sense about Texas and New Mexico styles.

This looks good, I don't make chili very often, but I'm going to have to try this one next time, Ron. Thanks.

I like that it's not calling for any added thickeners like masa or flour. Or gaddamn beans.

Be creative..........sometimes I add a lb ground pork and at the end of the cook I taste test adding cumin and chili powder as needed.Once I'm happy I give it a good 20-30 minutes more on a low simmer to marry those flavors.

Like I told MACS ain't nothing wrong with being a little creative,ground chuck sounds good but lean ground pork just adds another dimension that cannot be duplicated with any other meat.

Now for you crazy bastids.........being creative does not include beans,kale,spaghetti, cabbage,papaya,turnips,carrots and yes corn.As for thickeners,flour,masa,all the starch family,guar gum,xantham gum and psyllium husk are to be avoided.I can think of no better way to **** up a good chili.............just remove the lid and cook it down slowly.You'll be glad you did.

We do this by making it the day before we eat it. Putting in the fridge overnight. We do it with gumbo, chill, red beans, spaghetti sauce.....
