Something that may need to be checked out. Here on the West Coast beans are considered normal in chili. If I was in Texas I would never put beans in.

I don't know why I didn't think about this site before ... the Terlingua International Chili Championship website. Carroll Shelby and Wick Fowler were the founders ... and in addition Carroll Shelby's chili kit you can also get one for Rick Fowler's contest winning 2-Alarm Chili.

Anyway - if you want to know how to make award winning chili in TX - here are the winning TICC recipes for the last 18 years.

And here are recipes for chili and chili verde and some other recipes from the World Champions at the International Chili Society cookoff.

Also, if you don't want to mix up the spices yourself, you can purchase the Terlingua winners' chile blends from Pendery's in Fort Worth. A friend of mine won at Terlingua a few years ago, and he buys a lot of his supplies from Pendery's.
