Directions:Pour oil into a large stockpot over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, pepper, and garlic salt. Add meat and brown it, folding the onions, etc., into it as you go.
Add water, tomato paste, tomatoes with their juice, chili powder, cumin, and sugar.

Simmer vigorously for 2 hours.
When it's ready, mix the masa harina with 1/2 cup water in a separate mixing bowl and fold into chili as you stir. You can add salt as well if you'd like at this point.
Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and saltine crackers! |

Notes: This chili recipe is my favorite. I got it from my aunt Susie Janik but have altered it slightly. When I first moved to ojai, I entered a chili cook off and I needed a recipe, so Susie obliged. For the cook off, we had a disco theme and called it "disco stew" (which is also a reference to a "Simpsons" character) we wore jumpsuits and afro wigs, had a disco ball and music blasting! It was a ton of fun! and although I didn't win, it did give me a chance to really perfect this version of a classic chili. It will last you for a few days and gets better as each day passes. It will probably also give you heartburn because it's super spicy but it's worth it!
