I don't eat anything ground up unless I grind it myself. All my chili's are made with cubed meats. This chili is great and I only make it on request or for special events (Superbowl, Reunions) I don't ever measure .

This sounds great. Really like Mexican style stews. What is "manteca"?


Vikirose: Manteca is lard. It really adds flavor to the chili.
