How To Make grandpa's chili
-
Step 1Cook beef in pot with garlic and onion until all the meat is brown and the onion is tender.
-
Step 2Add Chili powder, salt and cumin to season meat. Stir thoroughly
-
Step 3In a small bowl, combine mesa flour and 1/4 cup warm water. Stir until it forms a paste. Add more water if needed. Should be about pancake batter consistency.
-
Step 4Add 8 oz can tomato sauce and mesa flour mixture to the meat. Stir thoroughly.
-
Step 5Add 8 oz water (more or less as desired. I use less if I'm making it for Frito Chili Pie. More if I'm serving it with cornbread.) and stir. Let the chili simmer uncovered for 4 - 6 minutes, stirring often.
