Kerry's Bowl of Texas Red

Do NOT add beans, they will change the complexity of the true Texas Red. Beans were normally used as a filler anyway, when folks could not afford meat, this is a MEAT Chili. For those that need topping condiments try: chopped Texas sweet onion, shredded Cheddar cheese, Mexican sour cream, and chopped jalapeños. Oh, serve beans on the side, for those whose mothers put beans in their Chili-flavored soup. I prefer a hearty thick chili, so watch how much stock is used, but you do not want to dry it out either. Chili is totally best when served after having been frozen. And lastly Chili is not supposed to burn your mouth out from Heat, but to enjoy the flavors and the textures of the meat, spices, and other ingredients.
