Tag: Texas-Style Chili

Whoa baby buckle up, because you’re in for some mighty good Texas-style chili! Heavily seasoned, this chili made a cold (and I do mean cold!) winter day a distant memory.  The broth is crazy good. No one will judge you if you’d just pick up your bowl and drink it straight.

This Texas-style chili screams for cornbread. Make a double-batch of your favorite cornbread recipe and get ready for some delicious dunking. I recommend Fat Johnny’s cheesy cornbread.

Although I’m sure you’d get arrested for it in Texas, you could add kidney beans to this Texas-style chili. I’m just saying that you could. I don’t think you could call it Texas-style any more. They’re pretty particular about that whole beans-in-chili thing in Texas.

For a really nice twist, use 2 pounds of ground beef and 2 pounds of Italian sausage instead of a full 4 pounds of beef. Again, I’m quite sure you’d get arrested for making this change in the state of Texas. I recommend doing it in the privacy of your own home. Perhaps with the curtains drawn and the lights off.

Also try my smoked brisket Texas chili and my three meat, two bean chili.
