Cowpoke Chili

mixture to beans and continue cooking uncovered, over a low flame for 1 hour or until beans are very tender. Makes about 3 litre . They used to say a cowhand would work from sunrise to sunset "for a dollar a day and a plate of beans." Now, either he liked his work or the beans were pretty good. And they tasted even better when the cook built a bean chili by adding bacon, tomatoes and hot peppers. From "Famous Chili Recipes From Marlboro Country". ----
