MARLBORO TEXAS RED CHILI - HOT HOT HOT !

Steps:

• optional:.
• can of pinto beans, rinsed
• can chopped tomatoes.
• Substitute:.
• grease from 1/4 lb. bacon in place of suet.

• Cover and simmer for 2 hours. Skim fat.
• Combine masa (harina) and cold water and stir into chili.
• Simmer for 30 minutes.
• NOTE: We cook this a lot longer - until the meat is fork tender and the sauce is nice and thick.
• NOTE: At this point I add rinsed pinto beans and chopped tomatoes at this point to my half of the chili.
• Serve in bowls on top of a slice of cornbread, with optional grated cheddar cheese, sour cream and green onions.
