Lyndon Baines Johnson liked his chili very hot and with no beans. Lady Bird Johnson's original recipe also contained suet but this was later omitted after LBJ's heart attack.

This is the healthier version of the famous chili con carne.

You can skim the fat LBJ's way. Allow to cool naturally, refrigerate and remove the fat when cold.
