Texas Braggin' Chili - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lb. good ground beef
2 buds garlic
6 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. comino seed
1 huge onion, chopped
1 small can tomato paste
1 small can Ranch Style beans (optional)
1 large can tomato juice or V-8
4 bouillon beef cubes
pepper to taste

Preparation

Saute beef and chopped onion.
Add chili powder and comino seed.
Saute a few minutes.
Don't burn!
Add tomato paste and mix well, then add tomato juice or V-8 to make soupy.
Next, add beans (optional) and bouillon cubes.
Simmer several hours, stirring occasionally.
Heat should be low enough so the mixture bubbles now and then.
Serve with a scoop of rice on top and side dish of crushed jalapeno or red pepper for twang.
The longer you cook it, the better it gets.
Serves 10 normal chili-heads, 6 Texans.
