George Webb's Chili

Shared by Jay Kempinger with recipegoldmine.com

About 20 years ago my Mother, Josephine Kempinger, sat at the end of the George Webb's counter after breakfast over the course of a few days (drinking her coffee), so that she could see into the kitchen where the recipe for the chili was up on the wall. She copied it down as it was written.

3 pounds coarse ground beef
Handful beef suet
4 quarts water
4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Accent
6 teaspoons chili powder
3 dashes Tabasco
1/2 bottle catsup
1 soup bowl cooked spaghetti
1 #10 can red beans

Brown the beef and suet together in a heavy Dutch oven. Add the water and spices including the Tabasco. Cook for 1 hour.

Add the catsup the spaghetti, and the beans and cook 1/2 hour more.
