AUTHENTIC TEXAS RANCH-STYLE CHILI
I have had this recipe for decades. I originally clipped it from a magazine, but don't remember which one or what year - the clipping is quite tattered now! In the clipping write-up, it says, "A really fine chili, cooked the way Texans like it!". I will let the Texan chili aficionados decide that, but I do know my family enjoys...

Steps:
- 1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large pot with tight-fitting lid. Lightly brown beef, removing as it browns. Add more oil as needed.
- 2. After all meat is browned and removed from pot, add garlic and onion to pot and saute until tender and lightly browned. Return all meat to pan.
- 3. Combine chili powder, flour, and cumin (I don't always crush the cumin seeds, just leave whole). Sprinkle this mixture over the meat; stir over low heat until meat is evenly coated, about 2 minutes.
- 4. Stir in oregano, salt, cayenne, beef broth and water. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower heat, simmer slowly, with lid on for about 2 hours, or until meat is very tender.
- 5. Sprinkle in the cornmeal, stirring constantly, until mixture is slightly thickened, 5 - 10 minutes. *It is best to let chili "rest" for 15 to 30 minutes before eating; it gives the meat a chance to absorb more of the sauce! Serve with hot white rice and pinto beans on the side, if desired.
