Meet Ol' Hired Hand
Before there was a Six Gun Chili Mixin's, there was Ol' Hired Hand — the cowboy everybody counted on to keep the coffee hot and the chili pot full out on the cattle trail.
His recipe rode from campfires to kitchens across Texas. In 1978 it became a complete dry mix with everything you need, right down to the masa flour — and it went on to be honored by the U.S. Senate as “An American Original.”
