Jean - the recipe is on my blog:

http://www.crookedkitchen.com/2009/08/13/the-chili-con-carne-project/

Beware, it's pretty involved, but you should be able to find all the ingredients. Beef chuck is on sale at Albertsons and Ralphs through Tuesday, and chorizo is on sale at Albertsons.

No beans, because my phosphorus is so much of a problem, but that's what the masa roux is for - thickening the sauce. The chorizo gives the sauce a lot of heartiness too. If you want to use beans, I'd say add three or four cans of beans, or cook up a pound of dried beans separately, and add them after the oven-braising step, and let it all simmer another 30 minutes or so. You can probably also skip the masa roux, since some of the beans usually break up and thicken the chili on their own. I like pinto beans and black beans. No kidney beans in my chili. :D

To stretch my chili, I also bought a couple of cans of hominy to substitute for the beans. When I decide I want that instead of straight chili, I'll ladle some of the chili sauce into a pan, add a bit of water, and some drained hominy, and cook that until I'm happy with it, then add it to my bowl of chili.

My chili's relatively mild (compared to what I usually make), so if you can handle it hotter, I'd recommend adding a small can of chipotles en adobo.

Edit:
I forgot to mention - since you're in my area, you should check out Sunland Produce on the corner of Sunland Blvd. and Glenoaks. They have a huge amount of produce at really good prices. That's where I get all my fresh and dried chiles.

grits are made of ground up hominey.  And taste much better.  Hominey is some kind of dried corn kernels and is kind of nasty.

Hominy is a type of corn - the third type aside from sweet corn and popcorn. It's the kind that grain-type corn products are made from - masa, cornmeal, grits, etc. When it's processed with alkali and cooked, it makes a good starch. Big, soft, starchy kernels.

Grits are made from coursely-ground dry hominy. In Mexico, whole hominy is called posole, and it's used in a stew of the same name, similar to chili.

Maybe you just don't like pork? Or maybe cumin?

The posole I've made (the stew) had been some of the best pork I've eaten. Really, it's just pork stewed with chiles, spices, and hominy. And I rather like hominy.  :beer1;

My husband made potato, zucchini and carrot pancakes for me for dinner tonight. The kids actually ate them.  :yahoo; I never feel like eating anymore, but I enjoyed these and was able to eat three (and they were not small!) My husband remarked that it tasted like bhaji.

Yesterday I suggested that my husband try the buttermilk marinade that was being discussed on here, since we have so much chicken from the meat CSA. He used a tandori for himself and a garam masala for the kids (no chiles). He made sort of a faux peshwari rice by dropping dried cranberries, raisins and pine nuts in with jasmine rice, and baked naan from the co-op. I was able to eat a bit of the rice. The carnivores absolutely loved the chicken, and I'm sure it was a nice change from the bottle of Soyaki my husband usually breaks out whenever someone says the word 'chicken'.   :clap;

I was craving one of those Bisquick cheeseburger pies the other day. (Hamburger in a pie plate, covered with a mix of bisquick, milk, egg, onions and cheese.  Bake in the oven, and when it turns into a cheesy, eggy sort of pie, all brown on top, you top with tomatoes and sprinkle a bit more cheese on and roast the tomatoes.)  I had it mostly mixed when I realized I didn't have any cheddar, like the recipe calls for.  I did have a tubby of feta, though, so that's what I added.  1/4 in the mix, and 1/4 cup reserved to sprinkle on the top.  (Okay, not renal-friendly, but sometimes ya just gotta!)  Oooooooh - yummy!  I like the feta version even better than the cheddar one.  But then, who doesn't love roasted tomatoes with warm feta?

I had it for dinner again tonight.  Break out the binders!

I love those Bisquick pies. Even the custard one is good. I had a tuna sandwich, and then another one later, and lets not forget the good old popsicle. Grape, yummy !!!! I think I will have a cherry one now.
