Please help me to make mild chili from this recipe

[SARose]

9. Texas Chili

1. Use Gebhardt chili powder. Nix the chipotle.
2. Serve the jalapeños on the side.
3. Serve the beans on the side.
4. Use Masa Harina to thicken - not cornstarch.

I no longer use a chuck roast because it is too expensive for chili. I use ground beef. I make my chili like my Mom and my Grandmothers. Just chili powder, ground cumin, Mexican oregano, whole tomatoes, garlic, onion and beef.

The San Antonio chili queens made this wonderful stew with simple, cheap ingredients.

Hope this helps!

President Johnson’s Perdenales chili. Very similar to my family’s recipe. Hot sauce served on the side, though.
