Momma’s Texas Style Chili

Mama's Texas-Style Chili. This is what you'll need. 2 pounds ground beef. 4 cans, 15 ounces each, pinto beans, drained. 1 can, 8 ounces, tomato sauce. 2 cups chicken broth. 2 teaspoons paprika. 4 teaspoons cumin. 1 cup chopped onion. 1 garlic clove, minced. 1 half cup chili powder. 1 half teaspoon ground red pepper flakes. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons masa harina flour. 1 quarter cup hot water. Brown the ground beef. Drain any excess fat. Add chopped onions to the beef and cook for 5 minutes. Then, add minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add tomato sauce, 2 cups of chicken stock, paprika, cumin, chili powder, ground red pepper, and the drained and rinsed cans of beans. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Dissolve 2 tablespoons of masa harina flour into 1 quarter cup hot water to create a thick but flowable mixture. Add the masa mixture to the chili, cover, and simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes. Garnish your chili with cheese, red onion, jalapenos, green onion, sour cream, and a side of cornbread for a perfect, flavorful combination. Serve hot and enjoy your Texas-style chili.
