Real Texas Chili ( A Bowl of Red)
4 ancho chili peppers (dried poblanos)
6 cups water
1 tablespoon sweet paprika (optional)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds stew beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 tablespoons masa harina or finely ground cornmeal
2 teaspoons Louisiana-style hot pepper sauce (optional)
1. Pick the reddest chili peppers you can find (some anchos can be greenish red). Under running water, stem and seed the peppers. Put them in a medium saucepan with the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a high simmer and cook until very soft, about 30 minutes. Reserving the cooking water, drain the chilies.
2. In a mini food processor, puree the chilies with 1/4 cup of the cooking water. If the chilies you used were not very red, add the paprika to boost the red color.
3. In a 4-quart Dutch oven (do not use a larger pan or the chili will be watery), preferably cast-iron, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the beef and sear, about 3 minutes. Add the chili puree and enough of the chili-cooking water to come 2 inches above the beef. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
4. Stir in the garlic, cayenne, cumin, oregano and salt. Return to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for 45 minutes.
5. In a small bowl, blend the masa harina with just enough water to make it pourable. Stir the masa mixture into the pot, return to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the meat is completely tender, about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally and add a little bit of water if it seems in danger of sticking.
6. Taste for seasoning and adjust to taste. Add the hot pepper sauce (if using).

Carrol Shelby's packet or Steakhouse Chili already made in a container from Safeway. For the latter, tell 'em it's your recipe and watch them buy it-This stuff is superb.
1lb ground beef, 1 lb ground pork, 1/4 lb cherisso, dont know if i spelled that right, its a mexican sausage. then 1 can of italian seasoned tomato paste, 3 cans of tomato sauce,, 1 can of chili beans, 1 can of diced tomatoes and green chilis. cook the meat first and drain most, but not all of the grease. then add the canned stuff, and on medium heat bring to a boil, then add 1 large diced onion, 1 diced green pepper, and minced garlic. let boil for a couple of minutes stirring the whole time. then let simmer for an hour on low heat, stirring occasionally. there will be no need for cheese or crackers. you might want to add some chili powder, but the mexican sausage will take care of most of that taste.
