ed's texas chili con carne

Updated on Jan 3, 2012

This has been a work in progress over many years. But this is pretty much what I stick close to now. I brought this to the Chili Diner Meeting the FAAN had a few months back. As for the meat I like to use deer meat that I soak in milk to get the gamy taste out of. You can use what you like. You will notice that I omit beans, you may add then if you wish.
