This
is a recipe from Emeril that I had to adapt for a couple of reasons.
One is that I had his recipe from quite a while back that differs
from the one posted on his website. Secondly, I found that the
measurements of some of the spices were lacking so I increased them
according to my preference. I suggest that you do the same.

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

One
28 ounce can diced or crushed tomatoes
2

4
cups beef stock
2

not using beans consider adding 1 more Lb. meat to the recipe.

In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and saute until the vegetables start to wilt, 3 to 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and cayenne.

Stir
in the stew meat, chili powder, cumin, crushed red pepper, and
oregano. Brown the meat for 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic,
tomatoes, tomato paste, beef stock, and beans. Bring the liquid up to
a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer the liquid, uncovered and
stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Skim any fat that comes to the surface.
Mix
the masa and water together. Slowly stir in the masa slurry and
continue to cook until the chili is thick and flavorful, about 30
minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and cayenne.
Adjust
spices according to your preference.
Optional: Garnish with the grated cheese, sour cream and jalapenos.
