Dave's Old Fashioned Chili image

I have a 1994 edition of Colorado Cooks for Education. There are over 400 celebrity contributors, one of which is Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's. Here is his recipe for chili. I think it's different than what is served today! I have not tried this recipe to compare, but thought it would be interesting to include it for all us chili fans.

Categories     Meat

Time 1h15m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs ground beef
1 quart tomato juice
29 ounces tomato puree (1 large can)
15 ounces kidney beans (1 can dark red, drained)
15 ounces beans (1 can small red beans, drained)
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped (1 medium onion)
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • In a frying pan, brown ground beef. Drain. Add remaining ingredients and drained ground beef into a 6 quart pot. Cover and simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes.
  • A note added: "Dave likes to add fresh, chopped onions on top of his chili serving.".
  • My note: I'm guessing that by "small red beans" he meant pinto beans.
  • This yields 16 (8 ounce) servings.

This is the best chili I've ever had. It's so flavorful and the meat is so tender.

I didn't have any chili powder so I used paprika instead. It turned out great!

This chili is a bit too spicy for me, but it's still really good.

This chili was so easy to make and it turned out delicious. I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still really flavorful.
