Terlingua Chili

Terlingua Chili
Terlingua Chili
This recipe is similar to, and based on the 1994 champion's recipe of the Terlingua chili cookoff. http://www.chili.org/recipes.html. I learned a lot studying the website and hopefully, you'll check it out, as well. Evidently, the secret to good chili is "layering" the flavor. There are no beans in "real Texas chili", but I've tried it with and without beans and it's great either way. Set aside at least 3 hours for this, and if you have leftovers, it freezes well.
