Recipe
Preparation
Trim the meat of all visible fat. If there is a large strip of fat on one side of the meat, save it whole. Cut meat into 1/4-inch cubes and brown it in a frying pan.
In a large chili pot, place tomatoes, tomato sauce and water or beer. Bring to a slow boil. Add the meat, chili seasoning, onion, garlic, peppers, sugar, salt and pepper. If you are using the optional bell pepper, cut it into 1-inch strips and add them now. If you have that large piece of steak fat, add it now; if not, add about 1 T of cooking oil. Cover and reduce heat, simmer at least one hour (two to three is better) stirring occasionally. At the end of the simmering remove and discard the piece of steak fat.
NOTES:
* A hearty (and hot) Texas-style chili -- This is a chili traditional in our Super-Bowl Sunday festivities. It has won several "no holds barred" (non ICS) chili cookoffs where there are no specific rules. It is the result of countless changes and adjustments of a small group of chili aficionados (aka chiliheads). Note: there is a range of peppers specified, you may adjust the "temperature" of the resultant chili, mild if you use the low end, or nuclear if you use the high end (we do!). Yield: serves 6-8.
* Mix the masa flour with about 1/4 cup water and add to chili pot along with the pinto beans (or any kind you prefer). Simmer an additional 30 minutes. Serve. If you have made the nuclear version, make sure there is plenty of beer on hand.
* For chili seasoning, we make up batches consisting of 8 parts chili powder, 2 parts ground cumin, and 1 part crushed (not ground) cayenne peppers.
: Difficulty: easy to moderate. : Time: 30 minutes preparation, 1 1/2 to 3 hours cooking. : Precision: approximate measurement OK.

Food Tips of the Week
Diet tips
In planning a meal plan, the important thing is to try to cut down your ingestion of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some reduced carb diet pointers:
* You can create really great smoothies using low carb yogurt.
I know, it is not really cooking, but if you must have smoothies you can make them with low carbohydrate yogurt and fruit. Obviously, you should make sure you use only fruit that is low in carbohydrates and the whole fruit as the fiber is beneficial.
* Understand the food labels
Watch out for advertizing that proclaims 'low carb' - check the actual nutritional information on the back of the package. A good number of are only a little reduced and in some cases still higher than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are identical.

Although there is precious little hard medical proof obtainable, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce the symptoms of colds, arteriosclerosis and fatigue.
