This is a Texas style chili recipe with beans. Many people on reading the recipe turn up their nose at leaving behind some beef fat in the chili. But, beef suet is a common ingredient in Texas style chili that gives it a unique flavor. This recipe is definately not low fat and low cholesterol. What it is, is real comfort food on a cold day. Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
3 tablespoons chili powder |
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon dried oregano |
2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
3 (15 1/2 ounce) cans pinto beans |
Directions:
1. In a stockpot over medium heat, brown ground beef until no longer pink. Drain off the fat, but leave approximately 2 Tablespoons of fat in the pan.(The fat will give it that real Texas chili taste) In a small bowl stir together the garlic powder, chili powder, cumin and flour. Sprinkle the flour mixture over the meat and reserved fat, and stir until the meat is evenly coated.
2. Stir the oregano into the meat mixture, then pour in the 2 cans of beef broth. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a low boil. Add the beans, 2 to 3 cans depending on how many beans you like. If you want your chili thinner, do not drain the beans otherwise drain off the liquid. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes then serve.
