Ingredients

2 lbs lean ground beef or turkey or venison� onion, diced1 green pepper, diced1 8 oz can tomato sauce 2 cup water 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes 2 tsp paprika 1 tbsp cumin 1 tbsp minced garlic� tsp salt5 tbsp chili powder 1 tsp cayenne pepper (omit or reduce if you don�t want it �hot�)2 15 oz cans pinto and/or black beans1 tbsp cornmeal or masa1/4 cup water

Directions

1. Brown beef/turkey/venison with onions and green pepper in a large pot; drain off any fat.
2. Add tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes, 2 c water, paprika, cumin, garlic, salt, chili powder, and cayenne.
3. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add beans if using them. I drain and rinse them in a colander to remove as much sodium as possible.
5. Dissolve cornmeal into 1/4 c water to make a thick, but flowable mixture.
6. Add cornmeal mixture to chili while stirring.
7. Cover and simmer another 20-30 minutes. I like to turn off the heat after simmering and let it sit a few hours then reheat when ready to serve. It allows the flavors to develop.
