8 pounds beef chuck or round, coarse grind
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
5 1/3 tablespoons ground hot red chili powder
5 1/3 tablespoons ground red pepper

Melt the lard, butter, or bacon drippings in a large heavy pot over medium heat.

Combine the beef with the garlic, ground chile, cumin, and oregano. Add this meat-and-spice mixture to the pot with the onions. Break up any lumps with a fork and cook, stirring occasionally about 1/2 hour, until the meat is evenly browned.
Add the tomato sauce, water, salt, and optional parsley.
Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour.
Stir in the corn flour (masa harina) to achieve the desired consistency.
Cook 10 minutes longer, stirring. Taste and adjust seasonings.

I found this recipe back in 1985 and have used it many times since. It is a full flavor meaty dish. I use cubed bites of meat instead of ground.

This is actually my fathers (Tom Griffin) chili recipe. He won the World Chili Championship with it at Terlingua, Texas in 1977.
