MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: U. S. Army Chilli
 Categories: Beef, Rice, Vegetables, Chilies
      Yield: 2 Servings
 
      2 lb Beef; diced
      1 tb Bacon dripping; hot
      2 c  Boiling water
      2 tb Rice
      2 lg Dried red chilies; whole,
           - but seeded
      1 tb Flour
    1/2 ts Salt
      2 lg Onions; chopped
 
  "Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders fed on this
  particular chilli recipe which had been officially issued
  by the U.S. War Department in 1896. Perhaps it was this
  chilli which sent him and his band of brave men storming up
  San Juan Hill with such vigor only a couple of years
  later."
  
  In a very large skillet, briefly fry (brown) the steak in
  the bacon drippings.
  
  Add 1 cup of hot water and the rice. Cover and allow to
  simmer over very low heat until the rice is tender.
  
  Put the chilies into a bowl and pour in the second cup of
  boiling water over them and allow to stand until cool.
  Then, hand-squeeze the chilies until the water is red. Add
  the flour to the chili water and blend which should make
  it thicken. Discard the chili hulls.
  
  Add the chili water to the beef in the skillet and also
  add the salt and onions.
  
  Allow to simmer for about 10 more minutes (until onions
  are tender) and serve.
  
  Makes 2 servings

.... It reeks of full blown eccentricity that screams for medication.
