This thick, tomatoless beef chili is for topping burgers, dogs, or anything you can think of to put it on!

Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes
Ready In: 1 Hour 30 Minutes
Yields: 6 servings

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound ground beef
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 1/3 cups beef broth
1 quart water
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons finely grated carrot
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons dried minced onion
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

DIRECTIONS:
1. Place the beef in a large, deep skillet over medium heat, and cook until evenly brown. Transfer beef to a strainer over a saucepan, and allow grease to drain for about 5 minutes. Mix any drippings remaining in skillet into the saucepan. There should be about 1/2 cup drippings. Return beef to skillet.
2. Heat the beef drippings in the saucepan over medium heat, and gradually mix in 1/4 cup flour. Reduce heat to low, and continue cooking 10 minutes, stirring continuously, to form a golden brown roux. Pour in the beef broth, and remove from heat.
3. Pour the water into the skillet with the beef, and mix in remaining flour. Stir in the roux mixture, chili powder, carrot, vinegar, onion, salt, sugar, paprika, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking 15 minutes, until thickened. When it's done cooking, take the chili off the heat, cover it, and let it sit for 30 minutes before using it on burgers, etc. It should thicken to a tasty brown paste as it sits.

Ray walked into the house and said, "It smells like Tommy's in here!" and I wasn't even done making the chili. I think if I up the heat on the roux a bit it'll have that darker Tommy's chili color.

Way grubbin!

The dog got the leftovers.

Time for me to roll over and go to sleep. WAY TOO much good food. Stuggots, You are way too close not to stop by. Angrydad, you too. I will have Nik call you guys next time. Sorry, all this is GONE.

TheWrenchWench Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the recipe

It was damn grubbin, but I can't take credit for the recipe. I thought I'd left this in the first post, but I guess not. The recipe came from:
Tommy's Chili (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/tommys-chili/Detail.aspx?src=etaf)


I'll end up tweakin it some, but it's a very close approximation. Dmax says it's different b/c I used lean meat, which is a definite possibility.

Thanks for the tip.....

I hope he/she slept outside

Oh heck yeah. But he didn't have much~ I think I shoulda made dmax and Glamis_Kid sleep outside! Rank moofers!

Thanks... Now I want some Tommy's Chili Cheese Fries yummy

I think it's time to make some of this. Maybe for the 4th~ you can't beat chili dogs and burgers on the 4th!

i wasnt much a fan of this chili the last 2 times i had it on a tommy's burger... Maybe i should try it sober and it will taste diffrent??
