I need a Chilli reciepe!

[Coldwater Crappie Guy]

I was wondering if anyone has a real good texas chilli receipe? The kind without beans? They are sure hard to find..Thanks!

Hey my mom was from Texas and made great chili - but never used a recipe.

She used home canned tomatoes, pinto beans (not kidney) beef, chili powder, salt, pepper and you could use onions if you like them. I just dump it all in a pot until it tastes good! But I really like the pinto beans a lot better than the kidney beans they use up here.

Here's mine... Kinda sorta... different every time really.

2 lb Sirloin, cut into about 3/4 inch cubes.
2 lb coursley ground beef. 80-85%
3 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped green pepper
1-2 diced jalepeno peppers, or if you want to fire it up, a habenero is nice once in a while (Wife won't eat it though)
3-4 cans rotel tomatoes (for some reason I like rotel a lot better than del monte or some other brand)
Tomato Juice & V8 (I use about a 4-1 ratio)
Chili Powder
Cayenne Pepper
Crushed Red Pepper
Cumin
Onion powder
Garlic salt
Flour

In a large ziplock bag put about 1/2 cup of flour,1tbsp chili powder, 1tsp of garlic powder, 1tsp of onion powder, 1/2-1tsp of cayenne and a bit of cumin. The Cayenne can be adusted to your taste. Add sirloin and shake to coat. In your pot, add a bit of oil, and heat. Sear sirloin until it is brown, but not fully cooked. Remove sirloin from pot and set aside, do not drain or clean pot.

Add your onion and peppers and brown ground beef. Season beef with Chili Powder, cayenne, garlic and onion powder while browning.

Add tomatos. Add sirloin. Use tomato juice and V-8 to bring to desired consistancy. Simmer on low heat for 2-4 hours.

Season to taste while cooking. I'll add hot sauce to get it where I like it, along with copius amounts of chili powder and cayenne.

Serve with sliced cheddar cheese and cinnamon rolls...

The second day you can add a can of chili beans or black beans, and maybe a can of drained corn, well if there's anything left on the second day.

above posts are fine, but add 1/2 cup chocolate chips - seemed unusual when i first read that a chef did it, but it's good.

1.5 pounds venison roast, cut into small pieces.

3 cloves garlic (not in a bottle or jar, real cloves), slice paper thin.

1 Large onion, sliced and diced.

1 green pepper, sliced and diced.
1 yellow pepper, sliced and diced.

2 jalopenos, sliced, NOT diced.

(On the peppers and jalopenos, remove the seeds)

Cook this is a pan, browning the meat, melting the garlic, and cooking the peppers, onion, jalopenos.

Once browned, place in pot with:
1 tablespoon of Oregano
1 tablespoon of Chili powder
