Texas Chuckwagon Chili image

This came from what most likely is the strangest cookbook purchase I've ever made--attached to a carton of Marlborough cigarettes, sometime in the 1970's, I think it was. CHUCKWAGON COOKING FROM MARLBORO COUNTRY. I bought the carton of cigarettes (I'm a NON-SMOKER) just to get the recipes! When I prepare this chili for my family, we serve it with crackers, Fritos, green and black olives, slices of apples and cheese.

Time 2h45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs ground chuck
6 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
6 cups water
1/2 cup white cornmeal (optional)

Steps:

  • Brown meat in a large skillet or Dutch oven.
  • Add seasonings and water.
  • Heat to boiling.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours.
  • Skim off fat.
  • Stir in cornmeal, uncover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Stir occasionally.
  • Serve with pinto beans and cornbread(you may even add 2 15 oz. cans drained and rinsed pinto or kidney beans, if you wish. It adds 4 servings to the quantity given below.).
  • This tastes even better the next day! Leftovers can be used to make chili dogs; or place on a plate a layer of Tostitos, a layer of chili, then layer the following for a delicious, quick dinner salad: lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, chopped tomatoes. Serve with dollop of sour cream and picante sauce on the side.

This chili is a bit too spicy for me. I would recommend using less chili powder or cayenne pepper.

I'm not a fan of the cornbread crumbs in this recipe. I think it would be better without them.

This chili is perfect for a party or potluck. It's easy to make a large batch and it always disappears quickly.

I love that this chili can be made in the slow cooker. It's so easy to just throw everything in and let it cook all day.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this chili is mild enough for me to enjoy. It's also very flavorful.

I'm not a huge fan of chili, but this recipe changed my mind. The combination of beef, beans, and spices is delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.
