Texas Blackeye Chili
  • 1 cup dry blackeyes
  • 1 pound ground meat (beef, turkey, moose or caribou)
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onions
  • 1 1/2 cups diced celery
  • 1 1/2 cups tomato puree
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

“Hot wash" blackeyes by boiling for 3 to 4 minutes. Discard water. Brown meat, add onions and celery and cook slightly. Add tomato puree, seasonings, and the drained blackeyes with about 1-1/4 cups water. Cook over low heat about one hour or until chili is thick and beans are tender, stirring occasionally. Add water if necessary to maintain desired consistency. By some Texas standards this is a mild chili, if you want it “TEXAS HOT”, use the full measure of chili powder and add hot pepper sauce to taste.

Makes 6-8 servings.
