  • 1 #10 can catsup

  • 1 5-oz Lea & Perrins

  • 32 oz minced garlic

  • 5 1/2 oz salt

Preparation

Put 30 pounds coarse grind in heavy pot. Cook on high heat until partly tender. Add rest of meat and garlic. Cook until tender. Drain excess grease and save. Add all spices and cook for 15 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Take 2 quarts of drained grease and bring to a boil (only takes 1 to 2 minutes). Remove grease from fire. Add approximately 4 pounds of flour and stir until thick. Add thickening while chili is hot. Stir and mix thoroughly. Add #10 can catsup and 5 ounce bottle Lea & Perrins.
