Hope this helps:

[from Google -- a post from some years ago]

This is a variation on Dallas County Jailhouse chili that I post
around here now and again:

-2 lbs chopped beef
-1 lb chopped pork (note: you can use ground meat, but the texture
will suffer. The meat will cook a long time, so cheap cuts are
preferred)
-5-6 Tblsp prepared chili powder (note: the use of 5 or so rehydrated
ancho chiles is a fine variation, and perhaps other dried red pods
would suit you better--New Mexico, cascabel,, etc. One trick to get
more and better flavor out of dried chiles is to toast them very
briefly in a hot oven or even over a gas flame, but take care not to
burn them even slightly--they'll turn very bitter. After they're
rehydrated, grind them up in the blender with some water or stock and
add them to the pot. The idea is to make the stew turn brick red
because of the chiles, not other red stuff like tomatoes or tomato
paste or catsup or whatnot.)
-2-3 Tblsp paprika, as desired to redden the mix, and of course to
flavor it, too.
-1 Tblsp cumin seeds (aka cominos)
-1 Tblsp dried Mexican oregano
-6-8 garlic cloves, minced
-salt, as needed (note much chili powder has much salt in it already,
which is a good argument for using chile pods instead of the blend.)
-Sugar, as needed to cut any bitterness the chiles might land onto
your dish. (Note: Often the water from rehydrating dried chiles will
be bitter. Taste it and discard it if it is. Otherwise, use it in
the cooking.)
-Enough beef stock (watch the salt again if it's canned) or water to
cover the meat.
-About 2 Tblsp dry masa harina mixed with enough cold water to make
it a pourable but thick fluid for thickening the chili. If masa is not
available where you are, corn meal can be substituted. Masa tastes
better, however.
-Cayenne can be added to make the chili more picante, if desired.
Chipotle chiles also would warm up the picante factor as well as add a
tasty smoke flavor to the chile.
(Final note: all measurments above are very approximate, but don't be
chicken about spicing your chili)

Brown the meat in a large pot, but don't cook it too long or too
brown. If there's a lot of fat in the pot when the meat is pretty
well done, drain it off as you are able. Add the spices except the
salt and the sugar (are they spices?) and cover the meat with stock or
water. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and slowly
simmer for about 3-4 hours. Check it now and again to make sure it
doesn't dry out, adding liquid as necessary.

When the meat is tender, taste the liquid and adjust the spices as
needed. This is the time to add salt and sugar if you feel they are
necessary. When you are satisfied with the taste, make a slurry of the
masa and cold water and add to the pot, stirring constantly to prevent
lumping. Cook it another fifteen minutes or so till it thickens
somewhat.

Serve the beans on the side, so people can add them as they like to
their individual bowls of chili. Red kidney beans cooked in stock
with some cumin and garlic and seasoning meat might be right. In my
house it is usual to serve the chili with chopped onion and grated
cheese. Also warm corn tortillas would likely be well received.

You will notice that this chili is a meat dish. Any vegetables you
need will be a separate enterprise. A green salad with tomatoes and a
nice lime vinaigrette would seem apropriate, but that's just me.

Chili, by the way, makes better leftovers than anything else I know.
The flavor is much better the second day or even the third. I mention
this by way of suggesting that it can be made on a weekend when its
long cooking time might be less of a problem and then served on a
busier day.

Yeah, I thought about that, too. But it's chili, you know.

I just found one on Google from Cuchulain Libby. If the weather is
cold where you are, you could do worse than this for a dinner this
weekend:

[begin quote]

1 ½ lb stew meat
lb ground pork
bottle or 2 good ale
4 oz dried New Mexico chiles (flavor)
2-3 oz ancho chiles (flavor)
1-2 oz arbole chiles (heat)
salt
pepper
2 Tablespoons roasted/ground cumin seeds
2 T roasted/ground coriander seeds
1 teaspoon allspice
1-3 teaspoons cayenne

Brown off the meat in a dutch oven with some olive oil or other fat,
drain
reserving some of the fat, saute the spices in with the meat.
Dry roast the chiles a bit then break them up into a saucepan and
simmer in
the beer for 10 minutes or so until rehydrated. Whirl chiles in a food
processor until pureed, with some of the liquid if necessary. Strain
puree
through medium seive into meat. Strain liquid and add to meat.
Simmer 2-3 hours adding a little water if necessary.

No onions, no tomatoes, no garlic, no chili powder just good chili.

But, but, but ... that's high class sloppy joe filling. I am never going
to be able to wrap my mind around Southwestern chili.

Thanks Michael and Libby

I have tried this recipe. It's simple and it's good.

Texas Easy Chili

* 3 pounds Chuck roast or Ground beef, cubed or formed into small
meatballs
* 2 tablespoons Cooking Oil
* 2 cloves of Garlic, minced
* 6 tablespoons Chili powder
* 5 tablespoons All Purpose Flour
* 1 tablespoon Dried Oregano
* 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
* 3 cups Tomato juice or V-8 Juice
* 3 Beef bullion cubes
* Salt and black pepper to taste

* Garnish - Lime wedges and Sour Cream

1. Cut Chuck roast into bite size pieces or form ground beef into
small meatballs (1 inch size).
2. Fry beef in cooking oil until outside is browned.
3. Add minced garlic and cook for two minutes.
4. Combine Chili powder, Flour, Oregano and Cumin in bowl and mix
well. Sprinkle mixture over cooking beef and stir until beef is well
coated with spice mixture. Cook for 1-minute.
5. Add Tomato Juice and bullion cubes. Stir for about 15-seconds.
6. Simmer for 45-minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Remove from heat and add salt and black pepper to taste.

Cool and refrigerate overnight to develop flavors. (If you can wait,
if not, enjoy.) Heat and serve in bowls with 1 tablespoon of lime
juice and 1 tablespoon of sour cream added to top. Serve with
cornbread or sourdough bread.

Although I hate to disagree with one of the top trollops here.

Chili con Carne= Pepper with meat.

No mention of beans, Black,red,or otherwise in Chili.

Other then the beans, the above looks good.

Reminds me of one of my favourite recipes for Bean Il Cacciatore
(Hunter Style)

Day 1 (Before the hunitng trip) - Soak the beans in 3 quarts of water
in a large ... blah blah blah
Day 2 - Trow away the water and replace with blah blah blah
Day 3 - Trow away the water and replace with blah blah blah
Day 4 - Trow away the water and replace with blah blah blah
Day 5 - If the hunting party actually comes home with some game, throw
away the beans and fire up the grill.
