-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pounds lean ground beef

8 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon coriander

1 cup water
4 cups canned crushed tomatoes
2 cans red kidney beans -- (16oz)

Cook beef, garlic, onion, and green pepper in a heavy skillet over medium-high
heat, stirring frequently to break up meat. Cook until onion is soft and meat
has lost its pink color. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Cover an
d reduce heat. Simer the chili for 45 minutes, stirring frequently. To make it
hotter, add cayenne pepper or tabasco sauce. For a thicker sauce and fuller f
lavor, add masa (corn flour). To impreove the flavor let the chili simmer long
er; chili often tastes even better the second day. To make beanless chili, omi
t the beans and use 2 lbs. of ground beef.

For meatless chili, omit the beef and water. Use 1 t. vegetable oil to saute t
he garlic, onion, and pepper. Add one 16oz. can of garbanzo beans and one 16oz
. can of pinto beans. Serve chili with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onions
, sour cream, guacamole, and flour or corn tortillas. Yummmmmmm.
