Remember, no substitutes!

1 Package Carol Shelby’s Chili Mix

1 14.5 oz. Can Red Gold Diced Tomatoes, Chili Ready with Onions or Mexican

1 8 oz. Can Red Gold Tomato Sauce

1 12oz. Beer (the heavier and darker, the better)

2 pounds lean ground beef (we prefer Laura's Lean Beef® - 4 % fat) (also works with ground turkey - you don't need the Masa flour if using turkey)

Follow the directions on the Carol Shelby’s Chili Mix package.  Open the bag and mix  the Masa Flour package - you want the consistency of a thick, latex paint.  Brown and drain the ground beef.  Add the spice packet to the ground beef.  Add salt and cayenne pepper to taste.  Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a slow boil.  Reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes, stirring constantly.  Add the Masa flour packet and simmer another 5 minutes.  Enjoy with Frank’s RedHot® sauce.

For an interesting variation, try Wingazette® Beanless Wendy's Chili:

Thaw a bag of Kroger Mirepoix Cajun Style Blend (chopped onion, celery and bell peppers).  Add the vegetable mixture at the same time as the "remaining ingredients, along with another 12 oz. beer.  Leave out the Masa flour mixture - you're looking for a looser, thinner chili blend.  Simmer up to one hour before serving.
