Beanless chili

[Coldwater Crappie Guy]

Does anyone have a bean-less chili recipe? I guess they are hard to come by ... and its a Midwest thing to put beans in chili..but I am looking for a recipe for one without.

Thanks in advance!

Buy some Carrol Shelby's chili mix and follow the package.

or

2 lbs. ground meat. Chuck is much better than round. You need some fat.

1 med. onion diced

1-2 stalks celery diced

2 cloves garlic chopped

2 tablespoons oil

3 oz. chili powder

1/8-1 tsp. cayenne pepper

8 oz. can tomato sauce

2 1/3 cups water

1/8 cup masa flour

salt and pepper

Cook the onions garlic and celery in the oil until soft

add ground meat and brown

add tomato sauce, water, chili power, cayenne (to desired heat) salt and pepper to taste

cover and let simmer at least 30 minutes

mix masa in 1/3 cup water and add as thickener (regular flour will work)

If you like tomato chunks throw in a can instead of one cup of water. You can add green peppers to the onions and celery too.

Mickey Gilley's is good as well. Same as what Jolly T said. It is hot if you add the cayenne, but hot in a good way. I always add a can of Hormel to mine, just to thicken it up. Onions, garlic, mushrooms, etc. Mushrooms are great in chili. Mine is super thick when it is done. It will stick to your ribs.

NO BEANS??? How else would I pay back the wife for the things she puts me through? Or is it then she would have nothing to complain about?????
