Real Chili Texas Style

Some say real Texas chili has no beans in it. I say "hogwash". My Texas chili is full of beans and is one of the best recipes around and loved by everyone. The toppings are what add a distinctive taste and look only to Texas. Chili recipe by Becky Cadden. Serves 8

Ingredients

• 1- can red beans drained
• 1- can black beans drained
• 1- can light red kidney beans drained
• 1- can dark beans drained
• 1- can ranch beans drained
• 1- 1.25 oz packet Mild Chili mix
• small Frito's
• Chopped white onion
• Chopped cilantro
• Sour cream
• Chef Rico's Texas Salsa or Pace Picante sauce 
• 1- lb lean hamburger meat
•  Several limes quartered

1. In a large skillet brown the hamburger meat
2. In a large pot add the browned hamburger meat and all the drained cans of beans. Add the packet of Chili Mix and stir together
3. Cook on medium to low for 30 minutes
That is all you have to do for the chili. Simple and easy and very tasty

Toppings

4. I do it in this order but some like the Frito's on the bottom first.
5. In your serving bowl add the chili half full of the bowl
6. Place on the chili in this order:
Frito's, chopped onion, chopped cilantro, salsa, scoop of sour cream, and then squeeze a quarter of a lime over the top of the whole bowl. Enjoy!

A great compliment to my chili is Texas Style Corn yellow cornbread mix from HEB 6oz pack.
