Truly Texan Chili
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Cook: 1-3/4 hours
YIELD: 8 servings.
I am a native Texan, and this is the best chili recipe I've ever tasted—it's meaty and spicy. I'd make this whenever I was homesick during the years we spent away from Texas because of my husband's military career. —Betty Brown, San Antonio, Texas
