Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large stock pot, brown the ground beef seasoned with 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper. When browned, you can either drain the grease and begin again with 3 tablespoons of oil, or use the grease. Remove beef and set aside for later, or use large skillet for next step.
  2. Saute garlic, onion, bell pepper, and celery until opaque [not clear, but not solid white, either]. Add beef [or add TO beef if using a skillet]. Stir well. Add chili beans, tomato, and water, remainder of spices and herbs.
  3. Simmer over medium-low [or just high enough to keep it bubbling lightly] for two hours, stirring occasionally.
  4. After two hours, add beef and return to a light boil. Using a large measuring cup with handle, dip out 1 cup of the hot juice from the pot. Add in the Masa, stirring constantly to prevent lumping. When mixed into a smooth paste, SLOWLY spoon the mixture into the pot. Stir WELL to ensure no lumps.
  5. Return to boil and cook an additional 30 minutes.
  6. Let stand an hour before serving. Reheat and serve hot with grated cheese, parsley flakes, and cornbread.
