Project Description
Recipe Ingredients:
½ pound dry black-eyes
1 pound ground beef
1 ½ cups chopped onion
1 ½ cups diced celery
1 ½ cups tomato puree
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 to 2 tablespoons chili powder
Instructions
Soak beans by your preferred method.
Brown meat, add onions and celery, and cook briefly. Add tomato puree, seasonings, and the drained, soaked blackeyes with about 1 ¼ cups water. Cook over low heat about one hour or until chili is thick and beans are tender, stirring occasionally. Add water, if necessary, to maintain consistency.
This is a mild chili by some Texas standards. If you want it “Texas hot,” use the full measure of chili powder and add hot pepper sauce to taste. Makes 6-8 servings.
*As an alternative, substitute seasoned smoked sausage for ground beef.
