2-Alarm Chili

Description: My family likes the chili made from the packet of 2-Alarm Chili, so one day I decided to measure out all the ingredients. It's much cheaper to measure out your own ingredients!

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground beef, ground for chili
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 2 cups water
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 4 teaspoons cumin
• 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/2 cup chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 2 tablespoons masa harina flour
• 1/4 cup hot water

Steps:

1. Brown beef in a Dutch oven; drain.
2. Add tomato sauce, 2 cups water, paprika, cumin, onion flakes, garlic salt, chili powder, and ground red pepper.
3. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Dissolve 2 tablespoons masa into 1/4 cup hot water to make a thick, but flowable mixture.
5. Add masa mixture to chili.
6. Cover and simmer another 15-20 minutes.
