Authentic Cowboy Chili

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb	454g / 16oz	Beef
1 lb	454g / 16oz	Onion (medium)
1		Garlic clove
3		Tomato sauce
2 tablespoons	30ml	- Gerhard chili powder
2 tablespoons	30ml	Ground cumin
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt

Recipe Instructions

Brown beef with onion and garlic. Drain fat. Add remaining ingredients and simmer 20 minutes. (3 or 4 hours is not too long, the longer you simmer the better, however, it smells so good, you can't wait any longer) Stir occasionally.

Gerhard's is the ORIGINAL recipe used by the Texas cowhands. Others have tried to duplicate it, to no avail. You can taste the difference.

Hints

Note: there are NO beans & NO HOT peppers added. If it's authentic you want - this it! It can be served with chopped onions, cheddar cheese, crackers, tostados, bread, etc. Just think, what would have been available on a cattle drive in the middle of the plains.
