HEARTY BEEF & BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• Mix granulated onion and garlic, oregano, cumin, and Meat Magic in a small dish, set aside. Saute 1/3 of the onion and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoons olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 1/3 of the meat (small batches allow the meat to brown) to the onions and brown over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally without breaking up the meat too much to maintain hearty chunks about the size of a nickel coin.
• As the meat is browning, sprinkle with 1/3 of the spice mix and stir to incorporate. Once browned, add 1/3 of the red wine to loosen any browned bits and simmer 2 minutes to evaporate some of the wine. Repeat these steps for each batch and transfer to a large soup pot. While the meat is browning, add the beans, crushed tomatoes and their juices, chiles, and RO*TEL tomatoes to the soup pot.

Once all the ingredients are in the pot, simmer and cook covered for 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. (Alternatively, cook on low in a slow cooker for up to 6 hours.) Taste the chili after it has simmered for 30 minutes or so to adjust spice (at this point you can add the cayenne from the kit), if desired.
• In the last few minutes of cooking, mix masa flour (yellow packet in the chili kit) with 1/2 cup of water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir in to the chili and cook for about 10 minutes, this will thicken the chili and round out the flavors. Taste and season with salt and pepper, as needed.
