_Comes through with a natural_
What is my favorite filler for the feed bag? Well, I’ll be on the
square with my answer.... It’s Chili con Carne.
I might have said Terrapin Maryland, or some other Ritzy dish, but
thought I’d better come with a natural.
I’ll play Chili con Carne and tamales as they are served in California
(where I was born) against any dish I’ve ever forked over.
_Recipe_
Cut, say, two pounds of good beef in small pieces the size of the first
finger joint. Add some of the chopped fat, mix and salt.
Put two tablespoonsful of lard in a deep pot and heat. To this add a
chopped onion. When the onion is about half cooked add the meat. Stir
well until the meat has boiled down in its juice. When it starts to
fry add about one and a half pints of hot water, three tablespoonsful
of Gebhardt’s Eagle Chili Powder and a few buttons of chopped garlic.
Simmer and stir well until the meat is tender.
