In a large skillet, saute meat in oil until browned. Add water and
simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours. In a small bowl, mix chili powder, salt,
garlic, cumin, oregano, cayene pepper, black pepper, sugar and
paprika. Add to skillet. Simmer 30 minutes...cooking longer will
cause spices to lose flavor. In a small bowl mix flour and masa. Wisk
flour masa mixture into chili...stirring constantly to prevent
sticking. Bring mixture back to simmer until thickened. Remove from
heat. Serve over beans, rice, hot dogs, enchiladas, burritos, or eat
plain. Cheese (cheddar, longhorn, queso blanco,etc.) goes well on top.
