Homemade Family Friendly Texas Red Chili step by step
- Brown ground beef and set aside to drain..
- Saute diced bacon in a large stockpot for 5-7 minutes to render the fat, just until starting to get crisp. Then add the onion, bell pepper, jalapeño pepper and saute until tender. Add a little extra cooking oil if pan is to dry. Add the minced garlic during the last minute or so..
- Next add the chili powder, paprika, cumin, Mexican oregano, garlic powder, onion powder,Cayenne powder and salt. Let the mixture saute all together for 2-3 minutes. This will wake the spices up. (Bloom).
- Next add the cooked ground beef, beef stock, tomato sauce and pinto beans. Let the chili simmer partly covered over low heat for 1-2 hours..
- Pure chili powder is pretty easy to come by here in Texas. You can easily order it from the internet no matter where you live. I always use a mild and then add desired heat level using Cayenne pepper. You can also just use a brand name chili powder from the grocery store. Works great as well. This chili is always better the next day. Leftovers freeze very well. Enjoy.
- Most all chili powder found in grocery stores, are a blend of pure chili powder, paprika, oregano, garlic, cumin, salt, etc. I have found that these will work good as well. You may want to omit the salt and adjust at the very end..

That's what makes Texas Red Chili stand out from other versions. Some chili lovers will balk at the idea that chili could be made without beans or tomatoes. But, if you head down to Texas, they'll tell you that a soup with tomatoes and beans is DEFINITELY NOT CHILI. Red Chili Powder is one of the basic ingredients required for Indian cooking.
