Mary's Authentic Texas Chili

Mary's Authentic Texas Chili

Brown 1 1/2 lbs Hamburger meat

Saute the following in "drippings"

1 large onion, chopped

1 Tb. Parsley flakes

2 cloves minced Garlic, or more to taste

2 tsp Red Pepper, or more to taste

1 tsp Celery Flakes

Add meat back then add:

2 tsp Oregano

1 Tb Chili powder 

salt and pepper to taste

Add:

1 can Rotel or diced tomatos, depending on the heat

1 plastic bottle of tomato juice

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp nutmeg

2-3 cans red beans, or chili beans, or pinto beans or combination thereof

OPTIONAL:

1 to 2 ounces of unsweetened chocolate, or 1 to 2 Tb unsweetened cocoa powder. (be careful, too much makes it bitter!)

Mary said she also heard of using a dash of cinnamon, but had never tried it herself. So I gave it a shot. Very interesting!

Cook for 1 hour

Of course it's ALWAYS better the next day!

I'll serve the chili with chopped scallions, sour cream, grated cheddar and a few corn chips. Perfect meal to make ahead and let the flavors marry. That way you can enjoy your guests on game day.

    I've always loved vintage tablecloths, industrial works of art.

Southern Dish

  • Woodrow Wilson
    "The South is the only place in the world where nothing has to be explained to me."
  • Social historian Carl N. Degler
    "The South--where roots, place, family, and tradition are the essence of identity."
  • P.J.O'Rourke
    "The South is America. The South is what we started out with in this bizarre, slightly troubling, basically wonderful country--fun, danger, friendliness, energy, enthusiasm, and brave, crazy, tough people."
  • Lillian Hellman
    "Even if they've moved away, most people who grew up in the South still consider themselves Southern."
  • Lee Smith
    "The biggest myth about Southern women is that we are frail types--fainting on our sofas...nobody where I grew up every acted like that. We were about as fragile as coal trucks."
  • John Egerton, from "Southern Food, at Home, on the Road, in History"
    "Within the South itself, no other form of cultural expression, not even music, is as distinctively characteristic of the region as the spreading of a feast of native food and drink before a gathering of kin and friends."
  • Guy Davenport
    "Southerners can claim kin with anybody. It's one of our most dextrous talents."
  • Grandmother Ernestine, to novelist Jewell Parker Rhodes
    "Down South everybody cherishes dreams. In dreams this world and the next mix like sugar and grits."
  • Fred Hobson
    "What has always been clear, for Southerner and non-Southerner alike, is that Dixie is the most fascinating part of the country. There may be a book out there called 'The Great Midwest' or 'A Turn in the Midwest' or 'The Mind of the Midwest' or 'The Midwestern Mystique', but if there is I'm certainly not aware of it."
  • Florence King
    "I've always said that next to Imperial China, the South is the best place in the world to be an old lady."
