Chili Variations

If you make Pure Texan chili following the directions on the package, the result is four servings of rich, competition-winning style chili. You can make a milder chili by using three pounds of ground beef instead of two. Use slightly more water, just enough to cover the beef. Serves six. For home-style chili, add your favorite vegetables: diced tomato, onion, peppers, etc. Note: If you enjoy beans in your chili, we recommend that you cook the beans separately and combine them with the finished chili.
