Clydes Famous Chili Recipes

CLYDE'S FAMOUS CHILI

Steps:

• In a heavy bottomed pot, saute the onion and garlic in the vegetable oil until golden brown.
• Add the beef to the onions and cook until it is about medium rare. Do not stir the beef around too much-you want to have large clumps of beef in the finished chili.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until just blended. (It may seem like a lot of chili powder but that's why they call it chili!).
• Cook the chili over medium heat for about 10 minutes, just until the meat is fully cooked. Don't overcook it!
• Serve with ice cold beer and condiments like sharp cheddar cheese, sour cream, and minced onions.

By using more of the dark powder our chili is a little sweeter. If you can't find light chili powder, just using a little bit extra of the dark powder will taste great.
