"Cimarron Red"(The Oklahoma Chili Company)

Sear meat in large stock pot or Dutch oven.

When lightly brown, add onions, garlic powder and tomatoes (with juice). Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes to an hour or so, stirring occasionally.

Add chili powder (use the freshest you can find), oregano, pepper sauce, salt and m.s.g.

Cover and simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally.

Add cayenne pepper.

Stir a little beer into the masa until it forms a thin paste and add to chili while stirring.

Add the remaining beer and simmer for an additional 30 minutes or so, stirring occasionally, uncovered if you want the chili thicker or covered if it's thick enough.

Serve with any or all of the following: beans, grated cheese, sour cream, chopped onion, sweet relish, corn bread, etc.

The chili will freeze well and is even better when reheated.
