Jailhouse Chili (no tomatoes, no beans)
1/2 lb. beef suet, ground
2 lbs. beef round steak, cut in small cubes
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh Hungarian paprika
3 Tablespoons chili powder (hotness to taste, I use Gebhardt's)
1 Tablesooon cumin seed, crushed
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups pinto beans
2 Tablespooons bacon fat
Put the suet, meat and all the seasonings in a large heavy pan. Fry
until suet is rendered and meat is light brown. Add 3 cups of water.
Cover and simmer 3 - 4 hours.
Soak the beans overnight. Drain and add fresh water to cover them
by an inch. Add the bacon fat and cook until soft but not mushy. Serve
beans on the side. 6 - 8 servings
Note: Cornbread goes well with this, or tortillas. Serve chopped
onions and grated cheese in separate dishes to be added if desired.
