I have a 1994 edition of Colorado Cooks for Education. There are over 400 celebrity contributors, one of which is Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's. Here is his recipe for chili. I think it's different than what is served today! I have not tried this recipe to compare, but thought it would be interesting to include it for all us chili fans. Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef |
1 quart tomato juice |
29 ounces tomato puree (1 large can) |
15 ounces kidney beans (1 can dark red, drained) |
15 ounces beans (1 can small red beans, drained) |
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped (1 medium onion) |
1/2 cup celery, diced |
1/4 cup chili powder |
2 teaspoons cumin |
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon oregano |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. In a frying pan, brown ground beef. Drain. Add remaining ingredients and drained ground beef into a 6 quart pot. Cover and simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes.
2. A note added: Dave likes to add fresh, chopped onions on top of his chili serving. .
3. My note: I'm guessing that by small red beans he meant pinto beans.
4. This yields 16 (8 ounce) servings.
