LADY BIRD JOHNSON'S PEDERNALES RIVER CHILI RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Combine the beef, onion and garlic in a skillet and sear until the meat is lightly browned. Transfer this mixture to a large pot, add the remaining ingredients, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for an hour. When done, transfer the chili to a bowl and place it in the refrigerator. When the fat has congealed on top, remove it with a spoon. Reheat the chili and serve it as LBJ liked it--without beans and accompanied with a glass of milk and saltine crackers. Garnish with grated cheddar cheese and sliced green onions
