Chili (Real Texas Chili)
By: Wing-Man

There are many cities that claim to be the birthplace of chili, but it was born on the cattle trails of Texas. This will be a big surprise for a lot of you, but real Texas chili does NOT have beans or chunks of tomato. I say that to say this; If you want to experience what early cowboys of Texas experienced then follow this recipe. Oh yeah, don't freak out by the amount of chili powder.
SERVES 8 -10
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean beef
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (NOT links)
- 6 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 large white onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3/4 teaspoon Mexican oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons masa harina flour or cornmeal
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 16 ounces water
- 1/2 cup warm water
Directions
1
The sausage used for this recipe is pork country style like Jimmy Dean or Owens roll etcetera.2
Brown meat together in a large 12 inch skillet and drain well. For even lower fat rinse meat with hot water, drain and place back in skillet.3
Stir in tomato sauce and 16 ounces of water.4
Add all ingredients except cayenne pepper and masa.5
Simmer 30 minutes.6
Add cayenne pepper (you can always add more later).7
Mix masa and ½ cup warm water. Add to chili and stir well.8
Simmer 20 minutes. You can simmer for hours if you want, just stir every 30 minutes.9
Chow down.10
This is great by itself or to make nachos, top cheese enchiladas, frito pie, quite good rolled in a flour tortilla with cheddar etc -- .

This chili is to die for. I am passing around the recipe within my family. I make it a little bit different everytime. It is a first time cooks dream!!!

This was really good chili. We were looking for something a little different, and we found it! This was so good, me and my husband made it back to back!

I used bacon instead of sausages, but otherwise followed it to a tee - inlcuding the insane-sounding amount of chili. It turned out really well, and not too hot at all, just a good kick. Guests loved it too the next day, I served it with wild rice, cornbread, guacamole and sour cream.

I loved the seasoning mix in this chili...it tasted just the way that chili should taste! I used arrowroot powder instead of masa harina and the chili thickened quite nicely. I also followed the advice of some people on here and made the chili one day, then the next morning I put it in the crockpot on LOW for the whole day and we ate it at dinner. I don't really think that it needed this step, though. I served this with a sprinkling of cilantro, jicama Jicama Texicana, and homemade tortilla chips made with low-carb tortillas. Great meal. Thanks so much for this recipe, it is a keeper.
