Old-Fashioned Brick Chili

Ingredients:

  • 5 lbs lean chili meat
  • 1 pound suet, ground
  • 4 medium onions, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp cumin powder
  • 1/2 Tbsp red pepper
  • 4 or 5 chile peppers, parboiled, skinned and finely chopped
  • 3 large Tbsp chili powder

Preparation:

Put suet in pan, let melt, then add onions. Add chili meat and cook until meat stands apart, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients except chili powder; turn to low and cook slowly until tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

About 15 minutes before meat is done, add chili powder and simmer. Pour into rectangular bowls in refrigerator to thicken. This will keep for weeks.
