3/4 t - Paprika
3/4 t - Cayenne Pepper
1 - 29 oz can - Tomato Sauce
1 - 14.5 oz can - Chili Ready Tomatoes
2 c - Pinto beans, cooked & drained
1/4 c - Masa Flour mixed with water to form a smooth paste

Directions:  Brown beef.  Add chili powder, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper & tomato sauce. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 30 min.  Add chili ready tomatoes & pinto beans.  Simmer for an hour.  Add masa mixture to thicken and cook another 30 minutes.
