Hi folks,

This prize winning chili recipe is 25 years old! LaVerne Harris won a chili cookoff in 1978 with her beef and pork chili.

Two tablespoons kidney suet Or lard?? Remember this was 25 years ago. I recommend using Crisco Oil. The Crisco link is below. Crisco makes lots of products and you can join their community to post to message boards, collect recipes, etc. Also, you can use any good chili powder if you can't find hot New Mexico chili powder or Gebhardt's chili powder.

You may be able to find New Mexico chili powder in the ethnic food section of your supermarket. Although I have seen many recipes calling for Gebhardt's chili powder I have not found it in my area. If anyone is familiar Gebhardt's please let us know.
