Easy and amazing chili
I use a pressure cooker but slow cooking is fine and even better in a dutch oven over a fire. The smoke adds a great flavor.
Toss the masa flour, salt, and cayenne unless you want hot chili.
Sweat a large white onion and a couple of bell peppers. Set aside. Use any meat you like but ground beef is fine. Brown and drain.
Add beef broth to the mix and the ingredients set aside. Add a can or two of tomatoes.
Of course plenty of garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, white pepper to taste.
The large spice package of the Shelby mix is outstanding and makes chili easy. I use two boxes in a large pot. One if trying to make a small pot.
Wuvv masa harina in my chili and got a substitute hint from someone that's a great hack: run corn tortillas through a food processor until they are powdery and then measure in the same amt as called for masa.
