Beans in chili = NOT CHILI
OK, what about the ‘shredded beef only’ rule? Is it chili if it uses ground beef?
You might have to scale this down a little.
One steer dressed out.
5 gallons of tomato sauce.
10 gallons of water.
9 pound of bacon grease.
20 pounds onion, finely chopped.
5 large buds of garlic chopped.
1/2 pound of oregeno.
1/2 pound crushed cumin seeds.
1 pound masa harina.
1/2 pound crushed dried jalapenos.
1 pound fresh jalapenos.
1 pound fresh habaneros.
1/4 pound black pepper.
1 bean.
1/4 pound salt.
3 gallons cheap beer.
Dig a large hole with a backhoe, build a fire in the hole and let it go to a large bed of coals.
Place a car hood over the coals and wrap up the steer in cactus skins, cover with a tarp.
Fill the hole and let it cook overnight.
Dig up the steer in the morning, take the meat off the bones and pull apart all the meat. Use every bit of the carcass.
Rebuild the fire in the hole and place 3 or 4 Ford F250 driveshafts across the fire pit. Place a small stock tank on the driveshafts.
Add the liquid ingredients and the meat, slowly combine all remaining ingredients.
Allow to cook all day, stirring often to prevent sticking. You may need to add water or beer to prevent too much reduction of the sauce.
Serve in bowls, with Cornbread and plenty of cold beer.
Serves 100.
