This was tonight's dinner. Boy was it a big hit with
DH. Said it a few times how great it was. It was
delicious. I thought it was too  hot for him and he
loved it. We're getting there....another chile-head in
the house!

Anyway, I adapted the recipe from Surf & Sirloin which
is a book from the Texas restaurant from 1964. I used
a few things that the original restaurant wouldn't
have used in their chili. Definitely a keeper!

* When I emptied the can of tomatoes, I filled it with
water to clean it out and used that water in the
chili.
