Rusty was in the mood for chili this weekend. He wasn't a huge fan of my chicken chili that I normally cook so I started looking for a new recipe. Then it hit us, who is one of the best cooks we know? Rusty's Cajun uncle Larry! He has a cooking segment on his local news show in New Orleans and luckily they have all his recipes online. So we pulled his up and cooked it. YUMMY, I'm glad we did!
Ingredients (I added some frozen corn)
2 pounds of ground beef
1 large onion (diced)
½ cup of McCormick chili powder
1 level tablespoon of salt
1 level teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 level teaspoon of cumin
2 cups of water
one 8 ounce can of tomato sauce
one 14.5 ounce can of diced tomatoes or 1 can of Rotel tomatoes (original) or milder, (your choice)
1 level tablespoon masa
Directions
1. Add ground beef and diced onions to a pot or sauce pan. On medium high heat, brown the beef, then drain the oil/liquid that accumulates in pot.
2. Return the pot to medium high heat and add the chili powder, salt, cayenne pepper, cumin, water, tomato sauce and diced tomatoes.
3. Now, simmer chili for about 15 minutes.
4. Add the masa and stir well to blend with the other ingredients. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
Top with shredded cheese and if desired, “Do a dollop of Daisy” sour cream.
Side with saltine crackers or your favorite crackers
Yields about ½ gallon
