Everyone knows true Texas Chili doesn't include beans or tomatoes. Only beef, homemade chile paste and few flavorings.

Well, nuts to that! There's nothing I hate more than someone telling me what I should or shouldn't do in my own kitchen. This is precisely why I don't bake. There's just way too many rules going on in it for me. With that, I allow my students crazy little imaginations to literally run amok with their ingredients of choice. Today they did exactly that. Excellent work kiddos! You do make me proud!
