Basically I just measured the ingredients in the package and substituted fresh onion and garlic. I usually mix up several of these and store them in ziplock bags to use later.

True Wick Fowler's chili would NEVER contain beans, just like REAL genuine Texas chili!

OH NO! Please tell me you didn't ruin a Texas classic by adding beans? Otherwise this IS the best chili, ever!

I posted a review before my email confirmation. If you get it, either omit it or add the 8 oz. tomato sauce and two cans water. Thank you.

This is perfect--the only thing I changed was I used undrained Ranch Style Beans for pinto beans. Also masa harina can be hard to find even in a specialty grocery store but you can buy it in 5 lb.bags for less than $2.00 at HEB in Texas stores. I could not find it in a smaller size. 1/2 cup of chili powder is pretty hot so I used 1/4 cup and it was just right for us.
