Dang Good Chili (for a New Yawka)

I made this tonight and it was just mmm-mmm-good!! Got a chuck roast on sale
and used the can of Black Soy Beans I had laying around (I know, I know -
beans in chili, egads!! It was goooooood stuff though!!)

Here's a re-post of the recipe, I posted it about a year ago )
-------------
here's the recipe as I found it with some added notes of my own. It is
very good with cheddar grated on it!
'
Basic Texas Chili

2lbs beef, round or chuck - cut into 1/2" cubes, all white removed ( i use
chuck roast and leave some fat)
1 sm onion, chopped fine
1-2 cloves minced garlic
salt & pepper to taste
2-3 tblspn blended chili powder
1 tblspn ground cumin
1 small can tomato sauce (i have done this or skipped it, either way is
good- i
used an 8oz can of Goya tomato sauce)

In a heavy skillet, saute the meat in small amount of oil or shortening
until it is grey and gives up it's juices.
Transfer the meat to stew pot and discard juices.
While meat is sill hot mix in the onion & garlic, salt & pepper to taste.
Let it sit for 30 minutes. (It will be smelling great in your kitchen about
now)
Add enough water to cover the meat then add the spices and bring to a simmer
(try to avoid boiling it - it dries the meat) Cook until meat is tender (i
give it an hour)You may have to add water if the mix becomes too dry (i
haven't had that problem)

If you add the tomato sauce - add it now and simmer another 20 min

If the chili isn't spicy enough add some cayenne (I do that - yum)


Also - I add extra chili powder, some garlic powder and a bit of red wine
vinegar. I am considering trying this with black soy beans whcich are
supposed to be very low carb.

No real NY'er would ever say DANG!

In some parts of upstate New York they're veritable hayseeds.

You just gotta tell me what you call 'upstate', since I live there! Are you
talking 'everything north of Manhattan' or some other parameter?!

Dang, i can't wait to find out.

Well, yeah, upstate is another thang altogether. They say "yonder" I
hear.

I live in Rochester and think of NYC as anything south of Tarrytown .....

North of PA --- that is definitely upstate! (though downstate from me)

When I was a kid, "upstate" was anything north of 600 Tenth Avenue.

The part of NYS that's close enough to NYC that you can
commute their for work - clearly upstate. The part of NYS
close enough that it's dominated by NYC - upstate. For
example when I lived in Buffalo I figured Albany was upstate
because so many of the state legislators were from the big
apple. The part of NYS when if you say "New York" they
never think you mean the city - definitely not upstate. When
I lived in Buffalo it never occured to my that "New York"
might means something other than cow towns and small
factory cities.

But then I moved out. For some reason when people say
"California" it never seems like they mean the small town
with a population of 10K. And then I moved to Seattle and
some understood. "Washington", what does it mean? There
is this east coast city and an entire state on the other side.
Just like the two New Yorks!

When it comes down to it, there is no such thing as upstate.
Not any more than there is a "left coast". It's a term used
by folks who aren't there.
