Title: U. S. Army Chilli
Categories: Beef, Rice, Vegetables, Chilies
Yield: 2 Servings

2 lb Beef; diced

2 c Boiling water

2 lg Dried red chilies; whole,
- but seeded
1 tb Flour
1/2 ts Salt

"Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders fed on this
particular chilli recipe which had been officially issued
by the U.S. War Department in 1896. Perhaps it was this
chilli which sent him and his band of brave men storming up
San Juan Hill with such vigor only a couple of years
later."

In a very large skillet, briefly fry (brown) the steak in
the bacon drippings.

Add 1 cup of hot water and the rice. Cover and allow to
simmer over very low heat until the rice is tender.

Put the chilies into a bowl and pour in the second cup of
boiling water over them and allow to stand until cool.
Then, hand-squeeze the chilies until the water is red. Add
the flour to the chili water and blend which should make
it thicken. Discard the chili hulls.

Add the chili water to the beef in the skillet and also
add the salt and onions.

Allow to simmer for about 10 more minutes (until onions
are tender) and serve.

Makes 2 servings

... It reeks of full blown eccentricity that screams for medication.
