CHILI LOVERS CHILI

Steps:

• Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble the ground beef and sausage into the hot pot, and cook until evenly browned. Drain off excess grease, then add the onion and bell pepper.
• Pour in diced tomatoes and tomato paste, plus water. Pour in the kidney beans and chili beans. Season with chili powder, garlic, cumin, Louisiana Hot Sauce, salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, and sugar. Stir to blend, then cover leaving the lid cracked open a little room for steam to escape to help it thicken. Simmer over low heat for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
• After 2 hours, taste, and adjust salt, pepper, and chili powder, maybe more onion powder, if necessary. The longer the chili simmers, the better it will taste. To thicken smash some of the beans on the bottom with a slotted spoon and stir, if it looks too thick add a little more water. It's that last hour the flavors really come together and you know it's ready. Remove from heat and serve.
• To serve, ladle into bowls, and add crackers, onions, cheese, sour cream.. however you like it. Plan on Chili Mac or Frito Pie with leftovers.

SIMPLE, PERFECT CHILI

Steps:

• Place the ground beef in a large pot and throw in the garlic. Cook over medium heat until browned. 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.
