   2      pounds        chili meat
     1/4  cup           oil
   1                    onion -- chopped
   2      cloves        garlic -- chopped
  16      ounces        tomato sauce
   1      teaspoon      paprika
   1 1/2  teaspoons     cayenne pepper
   2      cups          water
     1/3  cup           chili powder
   2      teaspoons     salt
   2      teaspoons     ground oregano
   1      teaspoon      cumin
   2      teaspoons     masa corn flour

Preparation:

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.
