- I grew up close to the Texas border, and this doesn't sound like any
- Texas chili that I've ever had. Texas chili as I know it usually has
- beans in it, and is tomato-based. A good friend of mine from New
- Mexico tells me that the New Mexico-style chili doesn't have beans in
- it, though. Anyway, here is my own recipe for Texas chili.

- Texas-style chili
-
- 2lbs ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 can of mild green chilies
- Dash of Tabasco
- Dash of red pepper
- Fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 28oz. can of stewed tomatoes
- 1 6oz. can of tomato paste
- 1 14oz. can of pinto beans
-
- Brown garlic in a bit of oil, then add ground beef and cook until it
- is brown throughout. Using a spoon, remove some of the grease from
- the ground beef. Add the remainder of the ingredients and simmer for
- about 30 minutes. Serve with sour cream and cheese.
-
- This is not an especially hot recipe. You can make it hotter by
- using medium or hot green chilies, adding more tobasco, or more
- pepper.
