Almost Perfect Texas Red Chili

• 2 lb. meat
• 2 cloves garlic
• large chopped onion
• 15 oz. can tomato sauce
• 2 cans stewed tomatoes, diced
• 1 small can chili powder (hard to get too much)
• 2 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. paprika
• 3 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 Tbsp. cumin
• 1 tsp. black pepper
• 1 tsp. red cayenne pepper (optional)
• 8 dashes Tabasco sauce (optional)
• 1/2 doz. chopped jalapenos and some of the juice (optional)

1. Brown meat with garlic and onion in a large stew pot.
2. Drain excess grease, then add all the ingredients.
3. If serving ladies, babies, wimps or you are partial to your company, don't use the last 3 ingredients.
4. Let this all simmer for about 45 minutes. Take about 1/2 cup of flour and add hot water to it, a little at a time until soupy and stir into chili.
5. This "tightens" the chili and adds flavor.
6. Then simmer 15 more minutes, then serve.
