How To Make grandpa's chili

  • Step 1
    Cook beef in pot with garlic and onion until all the meat is brown and the onion is tender.
  • Step 2
    Add Chili powder, salt and cumin to season meat. Stir thoroughly
  • Step 3
    In 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 4
    Add 8 oz can tomato sauce and mesa flour mixture to the meat. Stir thoroughly.
  • Step 5
    Add 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.
