- Chili:
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- cold water
- 1 medium onion , chopped
- 3 tablespoons chili powder

Directions

Make the chili—soak ground beef in cold water for 30 minutes and drain; this ensures that the beef will remain free of lumps and cook up into the proper consistency typical of Coney- and Texas-style sauces.
-
Place drained beef in a medium saucepan; add onion and spices, and mix well.
-
Stir in the 2 cups water and place over medium heat.
-
Cook the chili, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour, or until it thickens.
-
The chili may be frozen for up to 3 months.
