BEST NO-BEAN CHILI



Best No-Bean Chili image

Perfect for people who love using their slow cookers. I've tried many chili recipes but this one is the best ever! You can substitute beans for the cornmeal, but I think it takes away from the taste and the smooth texture. I recommend opening a second bottle of porter beer and drink it while cooking this tasty dish! Yum!

NO BEANS, NO TOMATO CHILI



No Beans, No Tomato Chili image

This family recipe has been passed down for generations. My dad used this recipe for an annual chili cookoff in our home town and it drew huge crowds. No tomatoes or beans in this true Texas chili. Important Note! This recipe called for Morton's Chili Blend. It is nearly impossible to find so I use William's Chili Mix in addition to the following ingredients. The real secret to this chili is the cooking method.
