Texas Chili

By: CRYSK (Crystal)

• Ingredients:
  
  2 lb chili meat
  1/2 cup chili powder
  2tsp. paprika
  2tsp. dry minced onion
  1tsp. garlic powder (or 2tsp dry minced)
  1tsp. oregano
  2tsp. cumin (or cuminos powder)
  2tsp. salt
  1 8oz. can of tomatoe sauce
  2 cups water
  cayanne pepper to taste (1 tsp. is pretty hot)
  1Tbs. & 1tsp. masa flour
  
  Cooking Instructions:
  
  Sear chili meat, then add everything, but masa flour.
  Cover and simmer 30 minuets. Stir ocassionally (don't let it stick).
  Then, add masa flour to 1/4 cup warm water, make sure no lumps in water. Then, add the flour mixture to pot. simmer another 15 minuets.
  Note:
  I always double or triple this. It freezes well in small containers for chili dogs and such. And I find it hard to come up with left overs to freeze. I love fresh chopped onions and cheddar cheese atop, and cornbread on the side, with ice tea to take away the hot. Same recipe turns out even better with course ground deer meat!
