Deluxe Camp Chili with Jerky

Deluxe Camp Chili with Jerky

Ingredients:
6 oz Jerky
3 tb Oil
1 ts Whole cumin seed
4 tb Chili powder
1 ts Onion flakes
1 ts Oregano
1/2 ts Cumin (powdered)
1/4 ts Garlic powder

Directions:
Water as needed
Flour for thickening
Cut jerky into small, bite-sized pieces, remembering it will swell. In a heavy pot, simmer jerky and
cumin seeds gently in moderately hot fat/oil for one to two minutes, stirring steadily to prevent
burning. Add chili powder and continue to stir until well mixed. (Amount of chili powder will depend
on the hotness of the jerky and your taste.) Add onion flakes, oregano, powdered cumin, garlic
powder, and enough water to cover generously. Stir. Simmer one to two hours, adding water as
the jerky takes it up. Allow chili to cool, and reheat before serving. If a thicker chili is prefered, add
a little flour mixed to a paste with hot liquid from the pot and cook to desired consistency, stirring
frequently. AUTHOR'S NOTE: Chances are no salt will be needed at all, since there will probably be
enough in the jerky.
