Main Dish

Texas Red Chili is so easy to make. Add pinto beans or red kidney beans to make it stretch even further, if you like. Serve it up piping hot from a soup tureen or a crock pot. Fill chili bowls to the brim or spoon it right into individual sized bags of fritos. Top it all with a sprinkle of grated cheese and a dollop of sour cream!
