KEN'S TEXAS CHILI
This is a Texas style chili recipe with beans. I have this posted on another site, but thought I would share here as well. Many people on reading the recipe turn up their nose at leaving behind some beef fat in the chili. But, beef suet is a common ingredient in Texas style chili that gives it a unique flavor. This recipe is definately not low fat and low cholesterol. What it is, is real comfort food on a cold day.

Steps:
- In a stockpot over medium heat, brown ground beef until no longer pink. Drain off the fat, but leave approximately 2 Tablespoons of fat in the pan.(The fat will give it that real Texas chili taste) In a small bowl stir together the garlic powder, chili powder, cumin and flour. Sprinkle the flour mixture over the meat and reserved fat, and stir until the meat is evenly coated.
- Stir the oregano into the meat mixture, then pour in the 2 cans of beef broth. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a low boil. Add the beans, 2 to 3 cans depending on how many beans you like. If you want your chili thinner, do not drain the beans otherwise drain off the liquid. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes then serve.

Steps:
- Mix and brown meat in oil , when almost completely browned add diced onion and diced bell pepper , Let cook and finish browning off. Drain meat in strainer that will also retain the vegetables. Mix dry ingredients together and set aside. Add in tomatoes, and water. Stir in dry ingredients and continue to stir and simmer ( 10 minute ) add beans and chopped jalapenos then let simmer on low aprox. 1 to 1 ½ hour You can add more or less cayenne and jalapeno depending on the degree of heat desired. As the recipe is it will not be extremely hot but a little spicy. ( For a little healthier version you can use ground turkey and no fat beans but flavor will not be as rich and hardy. ) I like to put in refrigerator overnight then heat in crock pot or on stove the next day.
- We love This.

Steps:
- Soak beans overnight.
- Combine beans, chicken broth, onions and garlic in large pot.
- Cook (boil, then simmer) for 1 to 2 hours until beans are done. (Do not stir too much or the beans will fall apart).
- When beans are done, add chicken, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper, lemon juice, and chilies.
- Simmer for approximately 1 hour.
- Add grated cheese last. Simmer until cheese is melted; stir or cheese will sink to the bottom and scorch.
- NOTES.
- Cooking times are approximate. Basically cook until the beans are done and spices have "soaked in" then cook until cheese melts.
- Sometimes not all of the chicken broth is necessary.
- You don't want it too soupy, so I usually add about 4 cans of chicken broth and add the last can as needed.
- This will make a large pot.
- Serve with a salad and garlic bread and enjoy!
