Texas Chili (Spicy) From Heather

Ingredients
• 2 lbs Ground Chili Beef (you can use less but it will be pretty spicy, you can also throw in some chuck meat really whatever kind you want)
• 12 oz uncooked Chorizo
• 2 Alarm Chili Kit
• 1 onion chopped
• 3/4 bottle of beer/ can
• 1 can Rotel drained (you can use less)
• 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
• 2 8-ounce cans water
• 1 15 oz can of ranch style beans or other variety drained (optional)

Toppings:
• Fritos
• Shredded cheese
• Green onion (DH does not like green onions either)
• Sour cream (DH thinks I am nuts but I love it)

Instructions
1. Brown meat in large skillet or sauce pan.

2. Drain off fat and empty into a big pot (you need some room) I use a big bean pot.

3. Add onion, tomato sauce, Rotel, beer and water.

4. Blend in all chili kit package ingredients except red pepper and masa flour. For "1-Alarm" chili, add half of red pepper packet; for "2-Alarm" chili, add all of red pepper packet; for "3-Alarm" chili or hotter, add red pepper packet and additional red pepper to taste. (for "False-Alarm" chili, leave red pepper out.)

5. Cover and simmer 30 minutes -longer for spicier flavor- or until meat is tender. (I like to let mine cook several hours)

6. Stir masa flour into 1/4 cup warm water and pour into chili.

7. Simmer another 15 to 20 minutes. If desired now is the time to, add 15-ounce can of beans drained.

8. You can also add whatever other seasonings you like just make it your own

I like to serve it with shredded cheese, sour cream and Fritos.
