TEXAS JAILHOUSE CHILI
Texas Jailhouse Chili
Kids especially like this version because they can stir in their choice of corn chips, cheese, and other goodies. The man was a real desperado named Jose Xavier Gonzales, who came up with the jail house chili. "Hanging Judge Roy Bean" sentenced him to hang for all his bad works, only weeks after he was jailed. This chili got its name because while in jail that he made such good chili, inmates wrote after leaving to get the recipe! Try some and you'll see why the frontier cowboys said "It's chili worth going to jail for."
