Chili powder did not exist until William Gebhardt came along! This German immigrant changed the chili world forever! And THIS is the original Chili con Carne recipe that he made in The Phoenix Cafe (Saloon)! Here’s your recipe!
2 LBS Chuck Roast (or other cheaper cut of beef)
4 TBS Gebhardt’s Chili Powder
2 Cloves Garlic
4 TBS Flour
4 TBS Vegetable Oil or Lard
1 Large Onion, ChoppedÂ
1 TBS Salt
1 Quart Hot Water
Cut meat into small chunks, do not grind. Mix raw meat with chili powder, garlic and flour. Melt fat in a large pot (or dutch oven) and saute onions until tender. Add the meat and cook 15 minutes. Add Salt. Pour hot water over meat and simmer one hour (first 30 minutes covered, 2nd 30 minutes uncovered), or until tender. You can definitely cook longer but not less.
We’re cooking the retro dishes you grew up with and recapturing some childhood memories along the way!
