Alz Meat Chili

One recipe Alz Chili Spice Mix (recipe on this site)

1 – 1-1/4 pounds ground meat (I used about 1/2 Angus beef, ¼ lamb, ¼ pork, but any ground meat you like)
½ large onion, chopped
2 large elephant garlic cloves, chopped (or one whole bulb)
2-4 TB Canola oil

One 6 ounce can tomato paste
12 oz water
One 8 ounce can tomato sauce (I used no salt)
One 10-15 ounce can diced tomatoes (I used one that had green chilies in it)
One cup fresh or frozen corn or one 15oz can sweet corn
One 4 ounce can green chilies
One 4 ounce can chopped jalapeños, drained
1 TB Worcestershire sauce
One 15 ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
6 bay leaves
Kosher salt to taste (optional -- or let each person add their own to their serving)

Sautee onions and garlic in canola oil until softened. Add meat, sprinkle with 1/2 of spice mix, turn up heat and fry meat until brown and cooked completely.

Reduce heat to lowest setting. Add remainder of ingredients and stir well. Cover pot and simmer for 30-45 minutes. Serve hot over rice or pasta. NOTE: Chili actually tastes much better the next day reheated. I cool it completely, place in 2-4 cup containers, freeze all but the amount I want to eat in the next day or two. But that's me. :-)
