THE STORY OF CHILI
 
America’s passion for chili can be traced back to San Antonio, Texas, in the 1820’s, when local cooks made the most of inexpensive cuts of meat by simmering cubed beef with red chili peppers and spices. True one-pot cooking, the hearty stew was especially popular among cowboys and chuckwagon cooks. Chili was introduced to northerners at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, and soon became a favorite across the country in distinctive regional variations. Today, our chili mix provides a delicious shortcut to an authentic Texas “bowl of red.”
