Hard Hat Chili
INGREDIENTS:
3 lbs lean beef (chuck tender preferred)
4 oz. Chili Powder
2 Tbsp. ground cumin
1 Tbsp. ground Mexican oregano
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp hickory smoke salt
1 can tomato sauce- 8oz.
1 tsp Celery Salt
5 tbsp minced dehydrated onions
Brown meat and drain. Cover meat with water. Add onion and garlic. Boil slowly for 30 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer until meat is tender (about 1 1/2 hours.)
The recipe above is a fairly old (circa 1983) but reliable one, somewhere in between "competition" and "eating" chili. It would be a good starter for any novice cook.
