My bud Corkey made me these one day, and it instantly turned into my favorite hot dog. Keep reading
This was done with deer chili and deer links but since people including me don’t always have venison laying around consider ingredients being beef and a Texas hill country type sausage. This recipe is enough for 8, but chili freezes well so you can have on hand for a Frito pie or something.
Adding beans are totally up to you. If you use them it disqualifies the chili from entering a Texas Chili contest. I saw an Oprah episode one day how nutritious red beans are so I use them when they work...
In a stock pot that can handle your dump heat it to medium high heat.
Put a shot of oil to keep bottom slick and add your bacon.
Cook bacon till done and pull it leaving grease.
Drop in the onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook the piss out of them (translucent).
Add the ground meat and cook till brown.
Add diced tomatoes, ancho chili powder and paprika. Cook till tomatoes had enough (5 minutes).
Reduce to simmer and add Shiner Bock.
Good time for beans and tomato paste if using.
Simmer covered for 30 minutes.
End it off by adding cumin, break up bacon, and optional masa.
Stir It up and turn off heat.
