I made Cincinnati chili. Got the recipe off You tube.
Onion Garlic, spices,( chili powder, cinnamon, all spice, oragano, bakers chocolate, ) beef broth, cider vinegar ,tomato paste, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground beef.
Simmered for an hour or more served on ( may God forgive me) spaghetti
Topped with chopped raw onion and shredded cheddar cheese
Ok it’s not Chili, and I may not be able to enter Texas again but it was good eating
 
Traditional chili is beef chilies spices and onion. The red color from the dried roasts chili peppers. At the end you may thicken with masa flour.
No tomatoes, no beans, certainly no macaroni, never hamburger or pork, and Turkey or chicken in Texas gets not only you the dieting squad but all your family. The less said about beer, sour cream or guava the better.
Carolee Turney did transcribe oldest known recipe... and its tasty

My mother used to make 'chili' in East Texas and serve it over rice in a bowl with crackers on the side. I was grown before I could make a decent chili, and realized I had been raised on 'Soul Food', LOL! Anybody who wants to know chili needs to buy the book 'A Bowl Of Red' by Frank X. Tolbert. The Bible of Chili Aficionados.
 
A million recipes but the original was red chili peppers cooked down. Some cumin and Mexican Oregano (which I have never been able to find) and cubed chucks of beef. Big debate on beans. Onions as well.

I think it was to save money that tomato sauce was added- to reduce the red chili peppers, same with beans, etc.

I've "bounced around"-started as a purist, then added a lot of onion, then beans, now even a dash of tomato sauce.

Check your local Stuper Wally World, usually in the same aisle as the Asian stuff, it comes in a bag.

Now you're talking! That's my kind of chili! The ingredient list starts with "five pounds of beef, cut in 1" cubes..." And then lard...

I have absolutely dispensed with ground meat for chili. I've been paying the extra couple of bucks for beef round chunks, and habitually put in more than the recipe calls for. Lean, solid beef has better texture and better flavor than any ground meat in chili. My buddy Jim in New Mexico just recently sent me a big sack of dried, red chili peppers. The real thing.

I could eat chili five times a week.

The green chili recipe @tenngun showed us called for three tablespoons of dried ground red chili, in addition to the "green chilies, cut in strips." Lots of chili pepper in there.

What does "ftw" mean?

ftw means... For The Win. Being a New Mexico native, I grew up on red and green, with green being my favorite. Especially Hatch grown. When chilies are mixed like that we call it "Christmas Tree". With all that being said, a good bowl of 'ole Texas chili is a hearty meal on occasion.

Aha! Thank you!

I haven't been to New Mexico since 1982, but I've been seriously pondering another trip out there within the next year or two. It would be worth it just for the food...

Actually I have a hankerin' for a green chili cheeseburger........ :thumb:
 
I find it interesting that one of the always named best green chili cheeseburgers is from Blake's RottaBurger........ I've had Blake's twice in five years, the second time just to give them a second chance at a different location. Nope, nasty which is why I call them Rottaburger. For fast food burgers Whataburger beats out Rottaburger hands down. The absolute best green chili cheeseburger I've ever had was in a hole in the wall restaurant in Roswell called The High Chaparral Cafe.
