Found this one that says it's pretty close to Longhorn's. http://kickingcarbs.blogspot.com/2011/02/slow-cooker-low-carb-longhorn.html

• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 jalapenos, diced
• 2 tbsps. chili powder
• 1tbsp. cumin powder
• 1 red pepper, cut into large chunks
• 1 sweet onion quartered
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 jar medium salsa (any brand)
• 2 tbsps. olive oil
• Shredded cheddar cheese for garnish

Tip: Remember to not touch your eyes or other sensitive areas after handling jalapenos.

Instructions
1. Saute onion and jalapenos in olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

2. Add chili and cumin once the onion and jalapenos have started to brown. Stir.

3. Add ground beef, being careful not to mince it into small chunks. You want some small meatball sized pieces of beef, not finely ground beef, chunks make for a nicer chili. Brown for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring gently.

4. Transfer beef, onion, jalapenos and spices to a slow cooker. Gently stir in tomatoes, salsa, red pepper and onion.

Tip: Put some water in your pan for easier cleaning.

5. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.

This sounds really good, and I've long heard that Texas chili is served without beans, but exactly how is it served? I've had chili served over pasta and rice, and so on, is this version usually served with something else?

[kittyfan]

Yes, Texas chilli is no beans. Just serve with a sleeve of saltines. No to pasta or rice!!

Also, so diced onions on top.

Thanks for the information... Sounds yummy. I assume a salad on the side might acceptable though...

Is 'Longhorn' a brand name, or a style, or (?). I'm just curious. I've had various chili recipes over the years and even written a few of my own but I don't know what the Longhorn part of it means.

I like to take out either my 13.25qt Le Creuset pot or my 9qt and make a huge amount when I make something like this. Then I portion it out, freeze it into portion-size blocks, and then vacuum seal it and you have chili in the freezer for a couple of years.

Longhorn is short for a steakhouse here in CT. It's primarily a steakhouse and it's the best for steak, chicken, chili as a side dish, etc. Actually, anything I've eaten there has been great. Their bread is also the best. Sometimes, I'll rave about it to our wait person and they'll send me home with a small loaf gratis!!!

Ohhh! Thank You, Coffee Drinker. I'm near the West Coast so I hadn't heard of this restaurant.
