DADDY'S 'IF THEY'DA HAD THIS AT THE ALAMO WE WOULD'HA WON!' TEXAS CHILI

Steps:

• Melt the bacon drippings in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are translucent.
• Combine the beef with the garlic, ground chile, chili powder and cumin. Add this meat-and-spices to the onions in the pot. Break up any meat that sticks together as you cook, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes, until meat is evenly browned (very browned, not just gray). Sprinkle in Hungarian paprika and oregano.
• Pour in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, salt, parsley and jalapeno. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour. NOTE: True Texans DO NOT add beans to their chili, but my husband loves them, so this is the point where you can add as many cans of drained and rinsed pinto beans as you wish (I add 2 cans, but shhhhhh don't tell my Daddy!!!).
• During cooking you may squeeze the jalapeno as it softens against the sides of the pot to release more heat if desired.
• Mix in the masa harina, and cook while stirring for 30 minutes longer, or until desired consistency is achieved. Taste and adjust seasonings.

CHEF DAD'S SUPER BOWL CHILI RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• 1) Combine spices (salt, chili powder, cumin, black pepper, sugar) in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside. 2) Heat large Dutch Oven (or large lidded pot) over medium heat. When hot, add ollive oil and butter, then onion and garlic. Saut'e with 1 teaspoon of your spice blend for 3-4 minutes. 3) Add ground beef plus one tablespoon of your spice blend until meat is fully cooked. Do not drain any juices off. 4) Add tomato sauce, crushed tomatois, beef broth, ketchup, hot sauce and drained beans. Add all of your remaining spice blend then stir well and bring up to a simmer. Once it starts simmering, reduce heat to low and simmer with the lid on for 30 minutes. Taste for seasoning adjustment. I usually add a bit more salt and pepper, but not too much. This recipe makes about 16 small or 8 large servings. Serve in bowl with hand crushed Frito's over the top. Cooks Note When it comes to choosing your canned tomato products, I like the taste of the organic brands much better. Don't try to make seasoning adjustments until after all ingredients have simmered and concentrated for the first 30 minutes. It takes them a white to come together. If making this the day before, let the chili cool down with the lid on for about 30-45 minutes before putting in your fridge. When ready, slowly reheat the chili over low heat then move into your crock pot on the low temp setting. Have some hot sauce, diced jalapeno, diced onion and shredded cheddar cheese available for your guests to serve themselves.
