SIMPLE, PERFECT CHILI

Steps:

Drain off the excess fat, and then pour in the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and cayenne. Stir together well, cover, and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If the mixture becomes overly dry, add 1/2 cup water at a time as needed.
• After an hour, place the masa harina in a small bowl. Add 1/2 cup water and stir together with a fork. Dump the masa mixture into the chili. Stir together well, and then taste and adjust the seasonings. Add more masa paste and/or water to get the chili to your preferred consistency, or to add more corn flavor. Add the beans and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with shredded Cheddar, chopped onions, tortilla chips and lime wedges.

DARN GOOD HOMEMADE CHILI

Steps:

• 1. In large soup pot, brown ground chuck, stirring to break meat up, add chopped onion and garlic while meat is browning. Once meat has browned, add spices, green chilies, tomato paste and beans; mix well until paste is incorporated. Add stewed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and V8 juice; mix well. Let simmer over low heat with lid ajar until desired thickness is achieved. Stir occasionally so the chili doesn't stick to bottom of pan.
• 2. I let simmer for 3-4 hrs while I'm on justapinch, mixing it up with my JAP friends. The longer it simmers the better it will taste.
