ganado cafe chile con carne

Super unconventional! The ground beef is not browned and drained of fat. This recipe is a one-of-a-kind to Ganado Cafe and Ganado, AZ that burned down years ago. I believe this is the best chili, hands-down anywhere. The use of tapioca to thicken is brilliant!. Serve this as-is, on top of chili-dogs or on open faced chili burgers.
