Preparation
 
The first "chili" recipes appeared in West Texas at the turn of the
century. They may have had their origin from old Mexican recipes, but
since most cowboys couldn t read...or for that matter, cook very good,
chili most probably got it s start due to the availability of spices
and other ingredients available in the area. A lot of ingredients
available to us now were just not available then. Most chili
consisted of beef, cumin, pepper, sugar, paprika, garlic, and masa to
thicken. Tomatoes were seasonal and usually not available. Chili
powder was not manufactured at the time...They used dried chili s
(spanish for peppers)...most west texas cowboys were Mexican.
Most of the original chili did not have beans due to the time
required to soak and cook them...chuck wagons did not appear til
later in history and even then, on most ranches, the cowboy was on
his own and didn t have time to watch beans all day.

The following recipe is based on the original recipes...

CHILI

In a large skillet, saute meat in oil until browned. Add water and
simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours. In a small bowl, mix chili powder, salt,
garlic, cumin, oregano, cayene pepper, black pepper, sugar and
paprika. Add to skillet. Simmer 30 minutes...cooking longer will
cause spices to lose flavor. In a small bowl mix flour and masa. Wisk
flour masa mixture into chili...stirring constantly to prevent
sticking. Bring mixture back to simmer until thickened. Remove from
heat. Serve over beans, rice, hot dogs, enchiladas, burritos, or eat
plain. Cheese (cheddar, longhorn, queso blanco,etc.) goes well on top.

Note lack of tomatoes and beans... Give it a try.....KF
