Chili - Authentic Texas Red

Here's a favorite that's authentic to Texas. Real Texas Chili has no onion, tomato, and especially, NO BEANS! Chili with beans is a different dish and it's called, you guessed it, chili beans. Chili beans are good and I like them but they are not, I repeat, ARE NOT chili. I like to go large and this recipe belongs in a crock pot.
