"This chili con carne builds smoky heat from the roasted and reconstituted guajillo, ancho and arbol chilies -- the base of the deep reddish/ brown sauce (also known as “bowl of red” because of the signature color). The goal of Texas chili is to develop a rich and hearty stew starting with beef and chilies and coax complex flavors out of those few simple ingredients...."
