Chilli Con Carne

by georgegsp

The original chile con carne consisted of dried beef, suet, dried chilli peppers and salt, which were pounded together, formed into bricks and left to dry, to be boiled in pots while on the trail. Now the official dish of Texas, chilli is the subject of competitions, where contention is rife over the inclusion of beans, which are forbidden by most authorities on the subject. I include them, as I feel they add texture, but accept that to some this recipe is now null and void.
