Making Texas Heretic's Chili today. I call it this because it would get me kicked out of any CASI sanctioned contest (it contains beans). Also because I use a prepackaged seasoning blend instead of measuring out 1/4 teaspoons of this and 1/2 teaspoons of that. I found out long ago that Carroll Shelby's mix works great for my tastes. Unlike most Texans, who pride themselves on how much heat their mouths can take, I like my chili mild and tomatoe-y. I'm just now able to get Carroll Shelby's Chili kits here, so I grabbed the rest of the ingredients last night. I also like my chili soupy instead of thick; so I leave out the masa flour thickening. I blame this on my childhood - there was a garage-sized cafe across the street from the school I went to, and we had open campus lunch then. One of the specialties was a Dorito Pie... cut a single serving sized bag of Doritoes open and ladle hot, soupy chili into it and top with cheese. YUM!
