AWARD WINNING TEXAS CHILI
This is some of the best chili in the world! I developed this chili recipe while cooking on the CASI chili circuit and won numerous awards with it! If you can not find the Sazon Goya just omit it. I do not add any "Floaters" (Beans, Onions, Peppers,...) but you may if you would like to. The recipe is cooked by using dumps...this is important not to overpower one spice over the other. I usually premix each dump during preparation and put in bowls or plastic storage bags and label accordingly. Enjoy!
