Texas Beef Chili

What makes chili Texan? Most Lone Star chili masters shun beans and tomatoes. To them, chili is all about meat—beef only—and the chile seasoning. And Lone Star fans of the real deal claim that toppings—sour cream, cheese, onions—turn their bowl of red into a salad bar. But you can opt for everything if you’d like.
