It's a toss-up between which is the national food of Texas, BBQ or chili. In any case, beans belong on the side, not in the chili. And I think Libby_James is right, how can it be called chili and not have cumino? I think this is a tasty recipe regardless, but it strikes me as more of a guisada than chili. Po-tae-to, po-tah-to... it will be good.
1/16/2012 02:14:07 PM Report AbuseI added a few teaspoons of sugar to get rid of the (bitter)tomato-y flavor. This helped tremendously. The next day, this basic chili was quite excellent. I'll keep this on in my files!

1/29/2010 01:47:08 PM Report AbuseCumin is one of chili powder's main ingredients. If you want more just add it.
