This easy chili recipe takes just minutes to assemble, and then you can step away while the ground beef, dried chiles, tomatoes, cumin, and garlic slowly simmer until dinnertime.
 
Directions

3. Discard drippings; wipe out bottom of pan with paper towels. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil to Dutch oven. Cook onions, garlic, cumin plus salt over medium heat until onions soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in chopped ancho plus jalapeno chiles; cook 1 minute, until jalapeno softens. Add beef, tomato paste plus broth. Add masa harina plus stir well. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover plus simmer 1 hour 15 minutes, until chili has thickened.
