Texas chauvinists will declaim proudly "There ain't no beans in Texas
chilli!" Often whilst spooning more pintoes into their serving of red.
And, truly, there are nop beans in "competition" chilli. To wit:
"Traditional Red Chili is defined by the International Chili Society as
any kind of meat or combination of meats, cooked with red chili peppers,
various spices and other ingredients, with the exception of BEANS and
PASTA which are strictly forbidden. No garnish is allowed."
Chilli was supposedly invernted by cooks on trail drives using foraged
chilies from along the trail to the railhead. These were used to cover
the tas6te/smell of unrefrigerated meat that was getting old. And as I
often remind those no-beans clowns the trail cook always has a pot of
beans going - beef was to sell for money. Beans were to feed the help.3
Unless an animal had to ber "put downm"/ Them there was meat until the
lack nof refrigeration made it impossible to eat.
Reference the beans scene from Blazing Saddles. Bv)=
No beans chilli is best used for .......

Title: Dirty Dave's Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce
Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Chilies
Yield: 48 Servings
1 1/2 lb Finely ground beef
1 1/2 lb Minced beef heart
1 lb Suet
2 tb Minced garlic
1 tb Yellow mustard
6 oz Water
6 oz Tomato paste
3 tb Chilli spice mix
Salt & pepper
Render the suet in a large skillet and cook the hamburger
and beef heart until the meat has no pink left, stirring
to break up any hint of lumps.
Add the garlic and mustard. Mix the tomato paste with
the water and add to the skillet, stirring the while.
Now stir in the chilli spice and salt and pepper as you
wish. Continue to cook until the mixture is done.
Place in a stainless steel steam table vessel for serving
over good quality (preferably all-meat) hot dogs.
Stir sauce before dipping onto the sandwich so as to
incorporate plenty of red "oil" to soak into the good
quality buns. Top each Coney dog with yellow mustard
(unless it's for me) and chopped onions. And plenty of
napkins to catch the oil that wants to run down the
customer's arm and stain his shirt.
