My Chili Recipe

 I normally throw my chili together willi nilli, but we all felt today's was especially good so I'm writing down what went into it.  

2 very large yellow onions, chopped

2 bell peppers (red and yellow), diced

3 pounds of ground beef

3 tablespoons minced garlic (probably more)

1 tablespoon paprika

1 1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup cumin

1/2 cup chili powder

1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder

1 tablespoon oregano

1 can tomato sauce

2 cans fire roasted diced tomatoes

3 tablespoons of masa or corn meal mix

I cook the onions until translucent.  Throw in the bell pepper and cook until soft.  Add the ground beef until almost browned and then I throw in everything else but the masa.  I bring it all to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.  After the simmer, I added the masa slowly while mixing thoroughly, though most of the time, I do the dissolve in warm water and then add it.
