Steps:

• Add the minced garlic, 8 cups of water and the dried chili pods and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for an hour.
• Remove the chili pods and any stems that may have fallen off the pods.
• Add the bay leaves through the Mexican Chili Powder and stir.
• To thicken the chili, mix the flour and cornmeal with 1/4 cup of water until smooth, then add to the chili and stir well.
• Add the Beans and Tomatoes.
• Mix well and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2-2 1/2 hours. The longer it cooks the better it gets. Add a little water as it cooks down. :).
