Ingredients
For this amazing meal, gather two pounds of ground beef, two cloves of chopped garlic, one eight-ounce can of tomato sauce, two tablespoons of chili powder, one teaspoon of ground cumin, one teaspoon of ground oregano, one teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of both cayenne pepper and masa harina, one 15-ounce can of kidney beans, and one 15-ounce can of pinto beans. Drain and rinse both cans of beans.
For serving, you will need cheddar cheese, chopped onions, tortilla chips, and lime wedges.
Directions
Start by placing the ground beef and garlic in a large pot, cooking over medium heat until the meat is brown. Drain off the fat and then add tomato sauce and spices. Stir together and then cover and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for an hour while you stir occasionally. If the mixture becomes too dry, Ree recommends adding ½ a cup of water as needed.
After cooking for an hour, add the masa harina and ½ a cup of water into a small bowl, stirring with a fork. Dump the mixture into the chili and stir together. Taste the chili and adjust any seasonings if need be. If you like a thicker chili or a more corn flavor, add more masa harina and water mixture. Add your beans and let simmer for 10 minutes and then serve!
