Norm's Texas Chili dates back to the 1970's Terlingua International Chili Championships - the chili cook-off capital of the world.  Mr. & Mrs. Bill Brown gave him their original recipe when he moved from Texas.  Norm was given permission to use variations of this recipe outside of Texas and friends in New England have been happy with it since!  If you are reading this from Texas then please saddle up and move on - this recipe is not for you!
