I make chili fairly often . I don't make it like my sister does ? She uses kidney beans , potatoes , celery , ground meat etc . Mine is 3 lbs of round steak and seasoning . Hint --- I start off the seasonings with 6 Tablespoons of chili powder , yes 6 and there is more different ones to come .
Supposedly , as the story goes my recipe is the one street vendors used in San Antonio in the 1840's . True or not , it does make the very best chili I have ever eaten . I got from an old cowboy cook on a large ranch in Texas . He followed along in the " chuck wagon " , weeks on end cooking out in the wilds following the working cowboys . A resupply wagon came along once a week . He followed in the his dad's footsteps , cooking for large ranch's . Regards Paul
