Texas Chili Recipe. There are no beans in Texas Chili just meat that's why it's Texas Chili. That being said this is a great hearty recipe to feed a hungry crowd that doesn't mind a little heat. It goes great with a side of corn bread.

white onion 1 chopped
white onion 1 chopped
jalapeno chile 3 seeded and chopped
garlic clove 5 chopped

Directions

  1. In a large stock pot heat the oil over high heat. Add the cubed sirloin and brown for about 5 minutes.

  7. Stir in the masa harina paste into the chili to thicken. Repeat if you like your chili thicker.
  8. Serve in bowls and top with chopped white onion, cilantro, and sour cream.


Notes

This is a great recipe for a crock pot. Make the recipe all the way up to step 4 and place in a crockpot on low heat. Cook for 10 hours.
