- Add enough water to make 6 quarts.
- Simmer on Medium, covered for 2 hours. Check periodically to make sure there is still enough liquid and stir.
- Cook ground beef in a skillet. Drain off the grease and add cook meat to the chili pot.
- Crush the stewed tomatoes into a bowl and add the masa, if using. Otherwise just crush right into the pot with your fingers. (you can imagine you are sqwishing someone you are mad at...lol)
- Continue to simmer until beans are soft. Can take up to 2 more hours depending on the beans.
- Serve with some chopped onion, sour cream, diced peppers, shredded cheese, corn bread, or tortillas, what ever you like.
