Ok, one of the hardest to type up, is my famous/infamous *Southern*
chili.

Fact is, I have never made it the same twice, and I've never really
measured anything I put in it. I have attempted to list the most
common forms, but any one item you see listed, other than the beef,
beans, and tomato, and spices, is optional. It will *not* taste right
without some of the optional stuff though. Feel free to add extra
things not listed, such as I often toss in some fresh tomatoes, a
handful of cooked butter beans, worstershire sauce, olives, a radish
or so, a bit of finely cooked pork (shred first). In fact, almost
anything lands in there!

Ok to start, this was designed for *long time* cooking over the stove
in a cast iron 'big as they make'em' deep fry pan. Its best made that
way. Requires frequent addition of water as it cooks.

Take the beef, inexpensive cut works as well or *better* in this dish.
Should be the big 'chunks' probably with bone in, not overly marbled
but with some fat about it. Now slice that to bite sized bits. You
want something similar to a stroganoff beef strip. Cut across the
grain so it cooks more tender.

Chop all the veggies, but don't worry about making them very small
choppings. 'Mincing' not required. I like to be able to tell what I am
eating.

Put the ingredients in, pretty much same order as listed. If you run
out of space, stop. If you have more space, add optional things and
more water.

Now, cook (covered) on LOW for 12 hours at minimum. Tilt the lid if
it is more than barely bubbling.
