Put suet in pan, let melt, then add onions. Add chili meat and cook until meat stands apart, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients except chili powder; turn to low and cook slowly until tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
About 15 minutes before meat is done, add chili powder and simmer. Pour into rectangular bowls in refrigerator to thicken. This will keep for weeks.
