Trim the meat of all visible fat. If there is a large

strip of fat on one side of the meat, save it whole.

Cut meat into 1/4-inch cubes and brown it in a frying

pan.

In a large chili pot, place tomatoes, tomato sauce and water or beer. Bring to a slow boil. Add the meat,

chili seasoning, onion, garlic, peppers, sugar, salt

and pepper. If you are using the optional bell pepper,

cut it into 1-inch strips and add them now. If you

have that large piece of steak fat, add it now; if

not, add about 1 T of cooking oil. Cover and reduce

heat, simmer at least one hour (two to three is

better) stirring occasionally. At the end of the

simmering remove and discard the piece of steak fat.

NOTES:

A hearty (and hot) Texas-style chili -- This is a

chili traditional in our Super-Bowl Sunday

festivities. It has won several "no holds barred" (non

ICS) chili cookoffs where there are no specific rules.

It is the result of countless changes and adjustments

of a small group of chili aficionados (aka

chiliheads). Note: there is a range of peppers

specified, you may adjust the "temperature" of the

resultant chili, mild if you use the low end, or nuclear if you use the high end (we do!). Yield:

6-8. * Mix the masa flour with about 1/4 cup water and add

to chili pot along with the pinto beans (or any kind

30 minutes. Serve.

If you have made the nuclear version, make sure there

is plenty of beer on hand.

For chili seasoning, we make up batches consisting

8 parts chili powder,

2 parts ground cumin, and part crushed (not ground) cayenne peppers.

: Difficulty: easy to moderate.

30 minutes preparation,

1 1/2 to 3 hours

cooking. : Precision: approximate measurement OK.
