FRANK X. TOLBERT'S ORIGINAL BOWL OF RED
From the Jamison's Texas Cooking cookbook. "One pundit said that if chili were a religion, A Bowl of Red would be it's bible and Frank X. Tolbert its Moses. This recipe is courtesy of his family and it is the traditional approach to making Texas chili. The first chili cookoff was started by Mr. Tolbert in 1967 between Texas chili master Wick Fowler and Midwest humorist H. Allen Smith. Smith had been brazen enough to write "Nobody Knows More About Chili than I Do", which debunked Texas red. Mr. Tolbert tested Smith's recipe and declared it "a chili-flavored low-torque beef and vegetable soup." That led to the first World's Championship Chili Cookoff, in Terlingua, Texas, a high-noon event that ended in a draw. The first judge voted for "Soupy" Smith, the second judge voted for Fowler's entry. The last judge took a bite of Smith's chili, feigned convulsions, and fell to the floor. When he regained his voice he declared that the Midwestwern chili had paralyzed his taste buds and left him unable to vote, forcing a draw."

Steps:
- Break off the stems of the chiles, and remove the seeds.
- Place chiles in a small saucepan and cover them with water.
- Simmer for 30 minutes.
- Purée the chiles in a blender with a tiny bit of cooking liquid to make a smooth, thin paste.
- Use as little liquid as possible, unless you want the chili to be soupy.
- Pour the chile purée into a Dutch oven or large, heavy pan.
- In a heavy skillet, sear the meat in two batches with the beef suet until the meat is gray.
- Transfer each batch to the chile purée, then pour in enough of the chile cooking liquid to cover the meat by about 2 inches.
- Bring the chili to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer.
- Cook for 30 minutes.
- Remove the chili from the heat, and stir in the rest of the ingredients.
- Return chili to the heat, cover and resume simmering for 45 minutes, keeping the lid on except to stir just occasionally.
- (Too much stirring tears up the meat) Add more chile liquid only if you think the mixture will burn otherwise.
- After 45 minutes, you may add the masa harina, if you wish.
- The masa adds a subtle, tamale-like taste, but it also thickens the chili.
- Cover the chili again and simmer for another 30 minutes.
- Do a lot of tasting to see if seasoning suits you.
- Add more seasonings as you like, but go easy on the oregano to avoid ending up with a spaghetti sauce flavor.
- Take the chili off the heat, and refrigerator overnight.
- Skim as much fat as you wish from the chili before reheating it.
- Serve hot.

- Texas chili is meat and spices and which's it. The legendary Wick Fowler added a little tomato sauce to his to thicken it, but actual tomatoes and onions don't appear, nor do beans. If you must have beans, you cook them in a separate pot and people can serve them with the chili as much as they like.
- Frank X Tolbert's Original Bowl of Red (Tolbert founded the World Chili Cookoff in Terlingua, Texas and owned a chain of chili parlors in Dallas.)
- sear beef in a 4qt+ dutch oven or possibly skillet. You may need a little oil to prevent the meat from sticking. When the meat is all gray, add in suet and chile peppers and about two inches of liquid (you can use water, I use beer). Simmer for 30 minutes.

- If using chiles, trim the stems and remove seeds. Place in a small saucepan and add water to barely cover. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Transfer the chiles and their soaking water to a blender or a food processor fitted with metal blade. Purée until smooth. Set aside.
- Brown half of the meat in a large skillet in the vegetable oil over high heat for 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the meat and juices to a heavy pot and add the puréed chiles or chili powder, if using. Place over low heat and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, brown the remaining beef in the same manner, then transfer it and the juices to the pot. Add enough stock or water to just cover the meat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
- Add the garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, salt to taste, paprika and cilantro and continue to simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the meat is very tender, another 30 minutes. Add a little liquid if the mixture begins to stick or looks too dry.
- When the chili is ready, using a large kitchen spoon, skim any fat from the surface. Ladle into bowls and serve.Makes 4 to 6 servings.

- Sear beef in a large soup pot or cast-iron Dutch oven. You may need a little oil to prevent the meat from sticking. When the meat is all gray, add suet, chile peppers, and about two inches of liquid (you can use water, I use beer). Simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add spices and garlic, bring just to boil; lower heat and simmer for 45 minutes. NOTE: Add more liquid only to keep the mix from burning. Skim off as much grease as you can, and add masa harina. Simmerfor another 30 minutes. Taste and adjust spices if necessary.
- This is a spicy chili, so leave out some of the spicy stuff in the beginning if you have a tender tongue. At this point, I refrigerate the chili overnight which allows the chili to mellow and you can skim off all the grease.
