Mr. Mason's Chili image

My grandmother used to care for the Masons. Mr. Mason was a pioneer in the roadside food industry. He owned cafes in Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Arkansas that served chili and apple pie. He kept his chili recipe secret for decades. He lived to be 107 years old, and my grandma finally got his recipe.

Time 2h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon chili powder (such as Gebhardt®)
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place the ground beef and half the chili powder into a large saucepan over high heat, and cook until meat is browned, breaking the meat apart into crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Mix in the onion, and cook and stir until onion is softened, about 10 more minutes. Stir in garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in remaining chili powder, cumin, oregano, tomato paste, and cocoa powder, and cover pan.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until meat is tender and flavors have blended, mixing enough water to make a thick chili, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir occasionally.

This chili is a little spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
