CHILI CON ELOTE (CHILI WITH CORN)
I claim this one is mine. (It bears no resemblance to what I started off with several decades ago). As with most chili, soup, stew, or sauce it's a lot better when made the day before and reheated.

Steps:
- Heat a heavy dutch oven over med-high heat.
- Cook the bacon until done but not crisp.
- Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel.
- Pour off and save all but 3 TBS of the grease.
- Place the flour and the first of the salt and pepper in a bag, add the beef, 1/3 at a time, shake to coat.
- Brown the beef, 1/3 at a time (don't crowd the pan).
- Drain on a paper towel.
- Wipe the pan and regrease between each batch.
- Wipe the pan, place on the heat; add 3 TBS bacon grease.
- Saute (stir fry) the onions until almost translucent.
- Add the garlic and chilies.
- Saute until the onions are golden but not yet brown.
- Add all of the ingredients except the Masa Harina and the corn; mix well.
- Return the bacon and beef to the pot.
- Cover and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 2 hours.
- Mix the Masa Harina with 1/2 cup of cold water, add to the pot, stir well.
- Cook another 1/2 hour to thicken.
- Place 1 cup of corn in each bowl and top with chili. (That's all the cooking the corn gets, it's just lightly steamed). Serve with a loose leaf lettuce salad, dressed with lime juice and hot, buttered, corn tortillas.

[email protected]The chili was good, but it was a little too thick for my taste. I would have liked it more if it had been a little more soupy.

[email protected]This chili was bland. I had to add a lot of extra spices to make it taste good.
Eze Gloria
[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly, but my chili was too spicy. Next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

[email protected]This chili was easy to make and turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it was still very flavorful.
