Preparation / Directions:
Brown meat in oil. Drain and set aside.
Sauté onion and garlic in same oil; and add beef and all ingredients *except masa*.
Cook until tender (1 1/2 hrs.)
If not from Texas, or do not have a bunch of kids and need to s-t-r-e-a-c-h your budget, add 4 cups canned kidney beans. Beans will tend to tighten the chili and give it some body. If you do not add beans, then... Add some water to masa to make loose paste and add to mix while stirring. This will *draw* chili tighter.
