Just made it a little bit ago, and it’s killer! I accidentally grabbed the coriander instead of the cumin when I measured it out, but it’s only a half teaspoon difference, so it didn’t hurt anything.
I think the secret is using a good tomato sauce. I used my own recipe (I have not bought a canned or jarred one in years), and it really worked well with this recipe.
If anyone is interested in the tomato sauce recipe, look up hacked Little Caesar pizza sauce recipe. There’s a guy who does remakes of famous companies’ recipes. I add fennel & rosemary to that recipe, along with using real tomatoes (or canned) when I can (no paste if I can help it).
Top notch recipe! I saw another review that said they entered it in a contest, and I was thinking the very same thing.
A little advice: remember to salt the onions, and beef when you add them (I also added pork sausage, leaving out the cubed beef). Also, I put the onions in first, let those go a little after turning translucent, then add the beef. You want that sugar in the onions to develop. You maybe could even allow them to caramelize if you really wanted to. I had 1 lb of ground beef (80% lean) and 1/2 lb of the sausage. The proportions worked even though I was leaving out a lot of what the recipe called for (but that makes sense because cubed meat isn’t going to spread like the ground stuff is- so it absorbs the same amount; chili was not runny).
This is my new go-to chili recipe (which is to also say my only one, as this was my first official attempt at it).
Brilliant.

Not that much, just use cornmeal. Enjoy!

Hi, this looks so nice. Just one question. How important is masa harina to the recipe? I’m not sure I’ll be able to find it easily in the UK. And I have most of the other ingredients in my cupboard.
