Texas Chili is mildly spicy, but now wildly hot, although it can be kicked up as many notches as you like.
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 2 cups (16 oz) water
  • 1.5 TBSP dried minced onions
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 TBSP oregano
  • black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup chili powder
  • 1 to 1.5 tsp red pepper (opt)
  • 2 TBSP Masa Harina mixed with ½ cup water
Instructions
  1. In a skillet, brown and drain the ground beef.
  2. Put the cooked meat in a large pot on the stove top or into a slow cooker. Stir well.
  3. Add all of the ingredients except the Masa Harina with water.
  4. Cover and simmer on low for 1 to 2 hours or more to allow the spices to blend.
  5. Towards the end of cooking, mix the Masa Harina with the ½ cup of water and blend into a smooth sauce
  6. While stirring the chili, slowly add the Masa Harina sauce.
  7. Continue to simmer on low until the Chili has thickened.
Notes
1) Masa Harina is a fine corn flour found in Mexican groceries or on the ethnic aisle of the supermarket.
2) Add as little or as much red pepper to make it as mild or wild as you like.
3) Substitute ¼ - ½ medium chopped onion for the dried onion and 1 clove fresh garlic for the garlic powder.
4) If you like beans in the Chili, add 1 can of cooked pinto beans at the beginning so that the spices blend into the beans.
