"First of all DON'T follow the recipe listed it is completely different from the show. In whatching the show this is what I came up with: 1/2 gal water, 40# ground beef, 2 C minced dried onions (gives the dish a completely different flavor than raw onion), 1 cup salt, 2Tbs granulated garlic, 1Tbs Crushed Red pepper, 1 Tbs Cumin, 2 T black pepper, 1 cup Paprika, 1 cup Chili Powder. First mix 10# of the meat with the water, then add rest of the meat and mush it all together. Cover and cook over medium to low heat for 6 to 7 hours stiring every so often. Mix in spices. Chili meat is now complete.
In a seperate pot add 2 15oz cans of tomato sauce (Hunts) and 2 15oz cans of Chili Beans (It looks like he used Bushes Chili beans, these were the only beans that I could fine with a yellow label) and 4 - 6 cups of the chili meat. Simmer for about 30 mins. serve
