| No. 1 Texas Chili |
1 cup chopped onions
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds beef round, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons ground dried Mexican oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
5 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons red jalapeno powder
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon cornmeal
Cooked beans, rice or bread
Sour cream
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, sauté the onions and garlic
in the oil until
soft. Add the beef and cook until browned. Add the salt,
sugar, pepper,
oregano, cumin, chili powder, jalapeno powder, tomato sauce,
and 1 1/2
cups water; stir well.
Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a low simmering boil and
cook, partially
covered, for 1 hour 10 minutes. Remove from heat. To thicken
chili add
cornmeal and stir well to combine. Return to low heat and
cook, stirring
occasionally, 5 minutes.
Serve with beans, rice, or bread on the side: all useful for
muffling the
heat. Also helpful is a tablespoon of sour cream.
