Ingredients

3 tablespoon melted lard

3 lbs coarse-ground beef chili meat

1-1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

3 tablespoons grated or finely minced onion

2 minced garlic cloves

3/4 teaspoon dried Mexican orgegano leaves

1 teaspoon fine ground cumin

4-6 tablespoons Gebhardt's Chili Powder

6 cups beef broth

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions

Heat the fat in a heavy bottom cooking pot. Brown the chili meat in the hot oil until the water has boiled away and the beef is sizzling. Browning the beef in this manner greatly improves the flavor of the chili.

Add the salt, pepper, onions, Mexican oregano and cumin. Cook stirring until the onion has softened. Add the Gebhardt's Chili Powder and mix well.

Mix the flour into the broth without any lumps. Add the beef stock and flour mixture into the chili with liquid to cover the meat.

Bring the chili to a boil and reduce heat to barely simmering.While stirring to prevent scorching gently simmer for about 30 minutes or until the beef is tender.

Adjust seasoning to desired taste and serve with crackers and beans on the side or use as a sauce for tamales, enchiladas, etc.

Well I guess I will have to cook this, this weekend and take a couple of pics. Hmm, no kidney beans, kinda always liked the mix of textures of beef and beans. But then I make homemade sauce from the tomatoes I grow and add hamburger meat and just eat it without putting it on any noodles. RE format for pics,if you have photo shop, you can go to image size, check "constrain proportions" and make all your pics 90 DPI. For horizontal pics I pick 7 inches and it will automatically give the height. For vertical I use 5 inches wide, but making everything 90 DPI makes a nice fit on screens. See my Swedish Pancakes crepe recipe and you can see how my step x step pics turned out. Click on any pic and it should just about fill the screen. Best, JJ>

This sounds quite authentic. I have been looking for a good TexMex chile. Since I grow my own Chiles, I have not used store bought chile powder for years. I use to put beans in my chile but stopped years ago after reading a few chile books but still put a few tomatoes in. I will try your recipe and leave out the tomatoes... Thanks for a great post....
