In that box there are several individual packets of the seasoning. Funny thing is, I can't find anywhere on the outside where it say how many packets it contains.

And then there's Skeeter's chili (from an old Shooting Times column he wrote):
SKEETER�S CHILI RECIPE*
5 pounds chunked venison or antelope (elk or moose serves even better) � pound chopped or ground beef suet 3 29-ounce cans tomato sauce 3 crushed garlic cloves or equivalent garlic powder 6 Tbsp hot, red ground chili powder (more to taste) 6 (or 8) small whole red jalapeno chili peppers � cup brown sugar 4 large sliced onions 2 tsp oregano 1 tsp cumin powder Salt to taste
Mix all ingredients in a large pot. Add water (or beer) to cover ingredients. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to simmer. As water cooks down, replenish it. This takes a long time to cook, so continue to simmer until the meat begins to break up and the other ingredients thicken to a gravy, which will take at least several (three to four, minimum) hours.
This recipe tends to be even better reheated and freezes well.
NOTE: If you use beef instead of game meat, omit the beef suet. This recipe is quite spicy. I usually recommend reducing the amount of chili powder and jalapeno peppers by two thirds to start, with more able to be added if you want more heat.
If you want to make your own beans, the recipe is:
1 pound pinto beans 2 quarts water Salt to taste 1 large chopped onion or equivalent dried onion � cup lard (or more)
Soak beans overnight for faster cooking. Add more water to cover; salt and cook beans with onions slowly until tender. Mash with potato masher or mix in blender until a paste is formed. Add hot lard or bacon drippings, then cook until all fat is absorbed by the beans. Stir frequently to avoid sticking and scorching. Serves 6 to 8.

I'm gonna give up a secret here... Replace the onion with shallots.Use at least 4 medium ones and chop them up as fine as your eyes will allow. Actually,the more shallots the better. There might be another couple of tweaks but I can't think of them now but I'll let y'all know. I'm truly glad that I put something together that y'all like. Thanks gang. shallots are "green onions" right? Sycamore
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

No Sir. Green onions are called scallions or chives. Shallots are kinda like a small red onion. The flavor has been described as a cross between garlic and onion but I disagree. Shallots taste like shallots.

ok, scallions is what I was thinking of. It would be easier for me to find saza goyan than shallots, I think.

Goya Sazon was easy, finding "con azafran" wasn't, in the several stores we looked. Now we have Amazon to the rescue

Sycamore PM me your addy and I'll send you some Goya packets. To be honest with you,it's not a deal breaker in this recipe. The offer is good to anyone that can't find it. I'll send you some for free. Bart

Mighty kind of you Bart, the same feller that helped pooba out has offered to send me a packet as well. The sazon Goya I did find worked well and I recently used it to help out a bland cabbage soup I made, the stuff worked wonders on my bland dishwater soup.
Something clever here.

I bought a couple boxes of the Sazon Goya from the local Harris Teeter. Happy to send packets if anybody needs it. Also picked up enough supplies for two batches of chili. Temps are cooling off, it's time! Good stuff!

Bart’s Chili!
Here we go...This is simple.... 1.5lb Chuck roast 32oz beef stock or broth....Broth is saltier... 4Tbsp Chili Powder 1Tbsp Garlic Powder 1Tbsp Onion Powder 1Tbsp Oregano 1Tsp black pepper 1 packet of Sazon Goya,Con Azafran(You can find this in most supermarkets) 1Tsp Cumin 1 medium onion,diced 1 8 oz.can tomato sauce 1 can Rotel Tomatoes,(Diced tomatoes with green chiles).
Method.... In a heavy soup pot or dutch oven... Cut the Chuck roast into quarter inch cubes(this is important). Cook until grey,not brown...Drain the meat and discard the grease and liquid. Set meat aside... Cook diced onions with corn oil until soft. Add beef stock. Add Sazon packet. Add tomato sauce. Add Rotel. Cook until boiling. Taste for salt....Add salt while simmering until it's right... At this point the mix should be orange..... All Tbsp & Tsp should be heaping... Add meat. Add all dry ingredients EXCEPT Cumin..... You might need to add water if it's too thick... Simmer for an hour,covered,stirring every 10 minutes and taste it for salt... Add cumin and simmer for 15 minutes... Turn off the heat and let it set for a little bit.... Serve with sharp cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream...
A couple a tings. My chuck roast was like 1.75 lbs but I trimmed a good 1/4 lb off'n it before I "cubed". And when I say "cubed"... well, the meat was thawed, so... it was more gobs and odd triangle shapes than it was cubes. But I suppose there was 1.5 lbs when I was done cutting. I'll look for a cleaner roast next time or go with a coupla steaks instead. Magine a chunk of deer meat would do just fine too. The meat prep is the most labor intensive portion of this excellent recipe. i thought the beans went in the chili Yankees put beans and sugar in chili. And then it ain't chili,except to Yankees. Sugar? Well that settles it, I'm not a yankee. I wasn't sure until now, thanks for clearing that up for me.

Been looking but can't find any Sazon Goyo. Anybody know of any stores in Billings that carries it? if you have access to a Mexican food store, look for a little box of "Triguisar" seasoning. It is a powdered mixed seasoning product, and is much better than the Goya stuff.

Hi, Brother Bart --
Gonna give your chili a try. Since we're on the topic, I seem to recall seeing a Green Chili Stew recipe from you, published in Shooting Times. It sounded good and I intended to give it a whirl, but I haven't been able to find the magazine I saw it in. Any chance I can persuade you to post that recipe here, sir?
Or, am I imagining things and it was someone else's recipe?
Thank you!
Ted
