MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: 1975 ICS World Championship Winning Chilli Categories: Five, Beef, Vegetables, Chilies, Stews Yield: 3 Servings 1 lb Ground beef 1 oz Pkg Chilli Man Chilli Mix * 8 oz Can Hunts tomato sauce 1 ds Tabasco sauce Brown ground beef in heavy skillet. Stir in contents of chilli mix and add tomato sauce. Simmer for 1 hour and add Tabasco. * Joe DeFrates originally developed the Chilli Man Mix (the Illinois spelling of Chilli) and sold it, packaged, under that name from the 1950s until he sold the recipe to the Milnot Co. of Litchfield, IL, in the 1970s. It is available today in most midwestern states under the original name. The actual ingredients of the chilli mix are not available. A Further Note: You can believe that this is the actual recipe if you like. But, no chilli cook *ever* gives out the exact recipe that he used. And the original chilli spice mix that Joe probably did use is no longer available--so, use Gebhardt or Mexene or whatever your favourite is. - UDD From: http://www.chilicookoff.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM
