Ingredients

1/3	cup	corn oil	(approximately)
6	lbs	beef chuck	cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1	cup	onion	minced
1/3	cup	garlic	minced
3	cups	beef broth	(approximately)
3	cups	beer	flat
1 1/2	cups	water
1/4	cup	chili powder	or more, to taste
6	pounds	tomatoes	(three 2 lb. cans), drained and chopped
1/3	cup	tomato paste
1 1/2	tablespoons	oregano	freshly minced
3	tablespoons	cumin seeds
1	x	salt	to taste
1	x	cayenne pepper	to taste
1	x	masa harina	or cornmeal, if needed

Directions

In a large heavy skillet over moderately high heat, warm 3 tablespoons of the oil.

Brown beef in batches, adding more oil as necessary and transferring meat with a slotted spoon to a large stockpot when well browned. Do not crowd skillet.

Reduce heat to moderately low. Add onion and garlic and sauté until softened (about 10 minutes).

Add to stockpot along with broth, beer, water, chili powder, tomato, tomato paste, and oregano.

In a small skillet over low heat, toast cumin seed until fragrant.

Grind in an electric mini-chopper or with a mortar and pestle. Add to stockpot.

Over high heat bring mixture to a simmer. Add salt, cayenne, and more chili powder to taste.

Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, partially covered, until beef is tender (about 1 1/2 hours).

Check occasionally and add more broth if mixture seems dry.

If chili is too thin when meat is tender, stir in up to 2 tablespoons masa harina.

Cook an additional 5 minutes to thicken.

Serve chili hot.

An Unusual Holiday Means An Unsual History

Boston Baked Beans For 3 1/2 Qt. Crockpot

This is really an old fashioned taste for baked beans, the only thing I changed was I used dark corn syrup instead of molasses. That is because my family likes that better than molasses and I use that instead of molasses all the time and in all my recipes, always have ever sence I realized that it taste just like it except a milder version.
