We had a Chili Cookoff at work, and one of my co-workers, who never made chili before, geeked out on the challenge. In his quixotic quest for a good, authentic chili, he developed his Texas Chili recipe, which is derived from the original Chili Queens of San Antonio recipe. He says the broth from his stew recipe is the secret ingredient.

I hate to admit it, but it is pretty good chili (but not as good as mine!). Please enjoys his recipe, because you ain’t getting mine! mine isn’t ready for publication yet.
