Buy lean round steak and have it chopped coarsely. Buy
beef tallow. Cook slice of bacon in a deep iron pot and let it
melt. Sear the meat in the pot and add chili powder, cumin or
comino seasoning, chili peppers, hot green peppers and and
black pepper. The last additions are garlic button and onion,
chopped fine. Add water and let the chili cook about 5 hours
and you will have something good to eat. The chili must cook
slowly, just above a simmer. It should be covered and stirred
occasionally. More water may be needed as it cooks.
Dr. W. F. Shipp practiced medicine in Lorena, Texas
(near Waco) beginning around the turn of the century as a young
man. He died in 1962 or 1963 at age 93 and he had practiced
medicine in Lorena for most of those years. He has a grandson,
who is now a doctor in Waco. My sister-in-law in Stephenville,
Texas sent me a cookbook from there, and someone had entered
this recipe. She said she had clipped this recipe from the
Waco paper about 40 years ago.
Grandmother and Grandpa Cupp (Martin and Molly) lived in
Lorena many years and are buried in the cemetery there along
with Stephen T. Cupp. My Mother and Dad met and married there
and Dr. Shipp brought my brother, Charles, into the world.
Maybe some of the other Cupps knew him, too.
