Directions:
Add your carrots to a food processor until they're very finely chopped and the food processor stops making them smaller.
Add the ground beef and carrots to a large dutch oven on medium high heat and cook until the beef is no longer pink, breaking it apart as you go, about 5-6 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium and add in the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and masa harina, stirring well to combine.
In a small cup whisk together the beef broth, vinegar and flour until the flour is completely absorbed, then add it into the pot.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for an additional 30 minutes to thicken.

Cook time is 20 minutes. Tommy’s Chili (Copycat) is a spot on recreation of the signature beef chili that has had Los Angeles natives hooked on Tommy’s Original for over 70 years! We always ate Tommy's burgers after Dodger games, so messy and so good! Watch out for the gas...ewe;(

Let it sit overnight so all the flavor can absorb. I know it’s going to be hard not to dive right in, and we totally sampled a bunch before letting rest, but it’s so much better once it’s had a chance to come together in the fridge overnight and then reheated.
Carrots are essential to the base of this chili recipe. You want them to be reduced to flakes to get the right consistency. If you don’t have a food processor, use a fine grater.
Don’t substitute the Masa Harina (corn flour). You only need a little bit so you might be tempted to just use regular flour. Instead, plan on using Masa Harina.
