[Sca-cooks] Texas Chili

[Elaine Koogler]

The chili I make is a recipe for Cincinnati chili, where the beans are one
of the "condiments" that are added by the diner.  The really weird thing
about this recipe is the fact that the hamburger is boiled rather than
fried!  It makes for a completely different texture.
