Real Texas Chili

Real Texas Chili – Tried and True

YEE-HA! Totally chili, totally awesome, totally a Real Texas Chili. Even though I don’t live in Texas I used to! Can’t forget those Texans!

 

I can appreciate greatness.

There are a million variations on chili, but only one true Texas-style chili. Once you eat this you’ll find it difficult to eat the others.

You can add pinto beans at the end if you must, but you know Texans don’t do that!

This is very close to what is cooked in chili cook-offs.
