Austinite Lynda Dinsdale sends over this famous recipe for Pioneer Farms Chili, “a favorite in Austin for years during Fall Festival. It is simple and yummy.”
Serves: 6
Ingredients
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup chopped onion
• ½ cup chopped green bell pepper
• 2 ½ tablespoons Watkins chili powder
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 bay leaf
• ½ teaspoon Watkins ground cumin
• 4 teaspoons chopped jalapenos
• 1 (29 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 (16 ounce) can chili beans, undrained
• Watkins salt and pepper to taste
Directions
In a large saucepan over medium high heat, combine the ground beef, onion and bell peppers. Saute for about 5 minutes, or until beef is browned. Drain excess fat.
