Old Memphis Chili

This is my memory of a prize winning chili cook off recipe that I found in the local Memphis paper back in the early 70’s. I lost the recipe but the basics of beef chunks, kidney beans and lots of tomatoes is still there. Read more (It’s more like a soup than what we think of as chili.) See the Have It Your Way Chili group for the Memphis Chili discussion. See less
