Time 1h30m

Yield Twelve 2-cup freezer packets

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pounds ground beef
6 cloves garlic, minced
Two 8-ounce cans tomato sauce
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
1/4 cup chili powder, or more as desired
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more as desired
Two 15-ounce cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Two 15-ounce cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup masa harina (corn flour) or regular cornmeal

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy pot, brown the ground beef with the garlic over medium heat until the beef is totally cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain off most of the excess fat, leaving a little behind for moisture and flavor. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and cayenne. Stir together well, cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally; if the liquid level seems low, add up to 1 cup water to keep it from burning.
  • After an hour, stir in the kidney and pinto beans. In a small bowl, combine the masa harina with 1/2 cup water and stir together with a fork until it's smooth. Pour the masa mixture into the chili. Stir together well, then taste the chili and adjust the seasonings. Simmer the chili for another 10 minutes to thicken, then turn off the heat and let it cool.
  • Fill freezer bags with 2-cup portions and freeze them flat for easy stacking (or freeze in other freezer-safe containers). Thaw and use the chili packets in your favorite chili dog, chili cheeseburger or chili nacho recipes.

This chili is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it ahead of time and then reheat it when you're ready to serve.

I like to serve this chili with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped onions. It's also great with a side of cornbread or crackers.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover meat. I usually add in some ground beef or sausage, but you could also use chicken or turkey.

This chili is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. I can just throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner is ready when I get home from work.
