If you have wondered how to make Texas style chili, it is not hard at all. This Texas chili recipe has no beans and consists of cubed steak and bacon. A lot of the flavor comes from various seasonings such as ancho chili powder, chipotle chili powder, cumin, and oregano. The bacon is cooked first and then the cubed steak is cooked right in the bacon grease for an amazing flavor. This is prepared on the stovetop and is simmered for about 2 hours. This is a perfect recipe to serve for the playoffs or the upcoming super bowl. This chili is great topped with cheddar cheese, sour cream and green onion. I served this chili with cornbread for dipping. Enjoy.

Just because you call it “Texas Chili” doesn’t mean it is. True Texans wouldn’t be caught dead with this conglomeration of ingredients you’ve listed. This looks like a New York libtard’s version, and is an insult to the institution of chili.
