Pedernales River Chili
In celebration of IEAPD, I made a crockpot full of chili. Tasty, but boring to write about, since I used a couple of seasoning packets to make it easier. My grandmother had quite a few recipe books put together as fund raising activities: a group of people would get together, submit recipes [often including family secret recipes], and then sell them as a fund raiser. One is Favorite Recipes of Texas [subheading: contains 900 recipes from Women's Club Leaders in Texas]. Date: 1964. Pedernales River Chili 4 lb. ground beef 1 lge. onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 t. ground oregano 1 t. comino seed 6 t. chili powder, or to taste 2 cans Ro-tel tomatoes 2 c. hot water salt to taste Sear meat, onions and garlic in large heavy bioler or skillet until lightly browned. Add seasonings, tomatoes and hot water. Bring to a boil. Lower heat; simmer about 1 hour. As chili cooks, skim off fat.
