The
Bilski Brothers from
Brenham
,
Texas
have made their special known Ok Bilski Chili and Beans for the past 17 years
at the Okonski Jamboree in
Bremond
,
Texas
each mid October. Otto, Paul,
Daniel and Deceased Pete, the Bilski brothers seem to make "One of the Best
Chili and Bean" Dishes that many people look forward to having each October
for many years. Hot Cornbread with
little butter and a dish full of Ok Bilski
Chili and/or Beans wets everyone's lips and satisfies their appetite.
Many have asked for their recipes, so we have attached one for
approximately 450 servings. All
you have to do is divide what amount of your servings are into the
attached recipe ingredient amounts for 450 servings and maybe "Yours will
taste like Theirs". If you
cannot perform this task, you should probably not try making any edible
Chili.
The
Bilski Brothers usually gather a crowd around their Cooking Area to get the
latest updates on the Cowboys, the latest jokes, most recent fishing and hunting
accomplishments, and exactly what ingredients they place in their Chili and Bean
pots.
Of
course, there are many other important parts of the chili making process such as
ongoing tasting, having plenty of assistance, right servers, finding the best
certified Angus chili meat properly thawed, finding the Pecos Chili Mix and all
other special seasoning ingredients, having someone like Nancy Bilski
cutting/blending the various ingredients such as onions, garlic, parsley,
celery, mariyonka, etc., and
especially right atmosphere to get the job done.
Having some key contacts for joining the Bilski Brothers such as Willie
Kempenski, Cody Bahr, Jeff Bilski and other Okonski/Bilski friends provides for
an adequate crew to assist the Bilski Brothers with whatever may be necessary.
You also must have a big Grupa (black metal pot) and some homemade pecan
wood stirs with 4 -5 hours of cooking time to
get the job done right.
