Directions:

  1. Cube the beef into bite-sized chunks.
  2. Dice the bacon.
  3. Heat a large heavy pot, fry the bacon until almost crisp.
  4. Scoop it out and set aside.
  5. Then fry the meat in the bacon fat until browned on all sides - you may have to do this in batches.
  6. Scoop out the meat and add to the bacon.
  7. Saute the onions and garlic in the bacon.
  8. Those who want can drain off some of the fat, but it won't be true Texan if you do!
  9. When it's soft, throw in the cumin, chile powder, and paprika and cook briefly.
  10. Return the meat, cover with water and bring it to a boil.
  11. Taste and add salt, then cover and set it to simmer for a couple of
  12. Hours.
  13. Thicken as needed with cornmeal or stale tortillas. Serve with sour cream or diced onions and, of course, beer. Like all good chilis this is best made a day in advance and reheated
