Nothing other than ground round or ground sirloin for us. Certainly no celery.

I've lived in Texas for about 45 years, and I'm kinda' a Chili purist. It is the official state food of Texas. People around the country -- actually around the world -- do all kinds of things to chili. Breakfast sausage don't surprise me.

I either use the original diced beef, or a very coarse grind of beef called a Chile grind here. I use chuck.

Tomatoes and beans are technically a no-no in Texas Chili, but I sometimes use them. I also make my own chili powder from dried chilis. That makes a big difference, and it is very easy to make.

This is what a bowl of "Texas Red" looks like...

I am surprised no one mentioned serving chili over spaghetti. I guess we don't have anyone from Cincinnati here.

I have a friend there, and actually lived in Cincy for a couple of years. Cincinnati chili is weird. Kidney beans. Served on Spaghetti. Served with Oyster crackers. That just ain't right.

BTW, the only acceptable beans for chili in Texas are pinto beans, which were often served on the side back in the day. The preferred pinto beans are the Ranch Style brand. Black beans are gaining acceptance -- I'm okay with them.
