Ingredients
4 lbs. ground beef
1 T oil
1 ½ medium onions, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 8oz. tomato sauce
1 ¼ t cumin
1 t cayenne pepper
1 ½ t paprika
½ t coriander, crushed
½ cup chili powder
½ t caraway
3/4/ T oregano
½ T sugar
1 T Worcestershire sauce
2 bottles of beer
2 beef bouillon cubes
2 cans black beans
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tablespoon masa harina
½ cup saltine crackers, crushed
Preparation
Brown meat in oil. Add onions & garlic; cook until onions are tender. Add 2 cups water, beer, beans and all spices. Cook for 2 hours on simmer. Float a jalapeno pepper to top (this is optional and I never do it)
Make a paste of masa harina and water; add to chili to thicken. Add crackers to thicken more. (Crackers will help “mellow” the taste.) Cook 15 minutes longer.
Optional: Pour into serving bowls, float 100 proof tequila on top and light. Serve flaming.
