Here is a great recipe for chili that seems to go so well with the
upcoming fall weather (even though its also good in the summer).


*Carnivore Chili*

6 lbs. lean beef		1 cup chili powder
2 T. crushed cumin		2 T. oregano
2 T. salt			2 T. cayenne
4 cloves garlic			2 quarts beef broth
1/2 cup cornmeal		1/2 cup water
beans to taste

Brown the beef in oil.  Add seasonings and broth.  Simmer 2-3 hours,
stirring occasionally if possible.  Skim off fat.

Mix cornmeal with water and add slowly.  Cook another 30 minutes, then add
beans if desired.


Some suggestions/variations:

-- 2 whole chickens (cooked) can be substituted for the beef, but they
   do not need the long simmering time (i.e. add them later)

-- beans can be used to substitute for some of the meat (this chili is
   *all* meat otherwise).  i suppose you could add onions, green
   peppers, etc., but i can honestly say i have never tried this.

-- skimming the fat off is healthier, but it is the really hot part of
   the chili.  i always leave a little of it in there, stir it up, and
   no one seems to notice.

-- this makes a "ton" of chili, enough to feed a large pre-game or
   post-game crowd. i like it with cornbread and a nice lager style beer
   (preferably home-brew)..
