The perfect chili to me consists of just beans and beef. No extra added stuff to it like peppers,  corn, etc. Call me a chili purist if you must, but I don’t care! I’ve had this chili on top of waffle fries and french fries that I cooked in my air fryer and topped that with a little bit of cheese. Mmmm. This chili is also great on top of chips or a hot dog.  I can’t take any credit for this recipe because it’s from Ree Drummond. Whenever I have a hankering for some chili this recipe is the one I always make. This chili is a little thick because there isn’t much liquid. Whenever I reheat it, I’ll add a couple of tablespoons of water to loosen it up a bit. If you can’t find masa harina you can leave it out. I’ve done that plenty of times and it still comes out good.

I use 93% lean ground beef when figuring out the smart points for this recipe.
