  6. While the spices are toasting add the steeped chiles and their liquid along with the rest of the chile paste ingredients to a blender. When the spices have toasted either grind them in a spice mill, or add them directly to the blender. Blend on high until a smooth paste forms adding stock as necessary to keep the mix blending..

This is a very spicy chili and the perfect meal for a chilly day. The beans are optional here as they traditionally aren't found in Texas chili. Place the ground beef in a large pot and throw in the garlic. Cook over medium heat until browned. Drain off the excess fat, and then pour in the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt.
