I’ve been eating chili all of my life and one of my favorite recipes is from my grandpa.

When he was a fire chief in Fort Worth, he would make this chili at the fire hall, and now I make it for my family.

I hope you like it as much as we do!

WHAT’S IN IT

2 lbs. chili meat

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 1/2 Tbs. paprika

3 Tbs. chili powder

1 Tbs. cumin

1/2 tbs. salt

1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1 8-oz can tomato sauce

2 8-oz cans water

HOW TO MAKE IT

Brown the meat and drain excess fat.

Add the rest of ingredients to the pot and simmer on low for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

I use this chili to make Frito pie. I pour it over Fritos and top with cheese, diced onion and sliced jalapeño.

But it’s great with cornbread and crackers too. Even my kids love it!
