Recipe Instructions

Cut the beef and pork into 1/2 inch cubes.

In a large pot add paprika, oregano, MSG, chili powder, cumin, beef bouillon, beer and two cups of water. Let simmer.

In a separate skillet brown about 1 1/2 lb meat with about 1 T oil or kidney suet until meat is light brown. Drain and add to simmering spices. Continue until all meat has been added.

Saute finely chopped onions and garlic in about 1 T oil or kidney suet. Add to spices and meat mixture. Add water as needed. Simmer two hours. Add mole, sugar, coriander, Louisiana Red Hot sauce and tomato sauce. Simmer 45 minutes.

Dissolve Masa Harina in warm water and add to chili. Add salt to taste. Simmer 30 minutes.

NOTES:

* World champion Texas red chili -- This recipe comes from Bill Pfeiffer. He won the 1980 and 1982 World Chili Cook-off and took first place in the International Chili Society's 14th annual World Championship Chili Cook-off with it.

Pfeiffer calls this recipe "Capitol Punishment Chili" because he won his first attempt at a chili cook-off in Washington, DC. Texas red chili has no beans...

* Probably your favorite brand of beer is ok. Pfeiffer's ICS winning recipe uses Budweiser because they sponsored the contest. For hotter chili, add additional Louisiana Red Hot sauce to taste.

* This chili is a great dish if you have a LOT of time. Note well the amount of time called for in each simmering step.
