Ingredients:
  • 1 package Carroll Shelby's Original Texas Brand Chili Kit
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • Dry mustard
  • Chile powder
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Garlic salt
  • Lemon Pepper
  • Oregano
  • Basil
  • Garlic powder
  • Hot sauce (we vary on what kind)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4-6 serrano peppers
  • 1 bunch cilantro, finely choppped
  • 1 can corn (or 3-4 ears if fresh)
  • 1 can fire roasted diced green chiles
  • 1 can kidney beans
  • sauteed mushrooms (if you like)
  • 2 small or 1 large can of diced tomatoes
  • cheese, sour cream, and chopped onions for toppings
Directions:
Brown ground beef and set aside.
If there is no fat left in pan (such as when using shredded beef) then add a bit of olive oil.
Add onion and garlic, saute for 3-4 minutes. Add serrano peppers and cook for 1 more minute.
Return beef to pan and add cilantro, corn, beans, mushrooms, diced green chiles, tomatoes.
Add about 1 cup of water.
Add chili kit seasoning packet and all of the cayenne pepper packet. Reserve the masa packet.
Add other seasonings listed above to taste.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for about an hours stirring occasionally. (Longer cooking is better if you have time - but you may need to add a bit more water).
About 15 minutes before serving add enough masa to thicken. Allow to cook for about 15 more minutes to allow masa to absorb the chili flavor.
Serves 6-8

You can use 1 to 1.5 lbs shredded beef (we boil stew meat then shred that).

We tried ground turkey thinking there were so many spices you wouldn't notice, but it made a difference - use beef.
