ganado cafe chile con carne
Super unconventional! The ground beef is not browned and drained of fat. This recipe is a one-of-a-kind to Ganado Cafe and Ganado, AZ that burned down years ago. Ganado Cafe was tiny cafe attached to Ganado Trading Post on the Navajo Indian Reservation. People came from miles around for this chili and mom's lemon pie. I believe this is the best chili, hands-down anywhere. The use of tapioca to thicken is brilliant!. Serve this as-is, with cornbread, or on top of chili-dogs or on open-faced chili burgers.
