Hard Times Spice Mix, Texas Chili 4 Oz

Our style of Texas chili was born on the cattle drives of the late 1800s. It evolved over the years into what was served in roadhouses and chili parlors across the country. Our recipe comes from an old chili parlor where it provided an inexpensive and nutritious meal for millions of Americans during the Great Depression. We've heard it said that chili actually saved more lives than the Red Cross. The Hard Times Cafe has been making its famous Texas, Cincinnati and Vegetarian chili since 1980. The basic chili produced by the above recipe can be used for taco or burrito filling, the spice mix can be used on grilled hamburgers, potato salad or with sour cream as a dip.
