Peel and finely chop the garlic and onions. Sauté both in olive oil in a large saucepan.
Now add the chili powder, finely chopped chili pepper (without seeds), the cumin and a little salt & pepper.
Then add the minced beef to the pot and sauté while stirring.
Blend the dried tomatoes with a good shot of their own oil from the jar with a blender in a high container to a smooth mixture.
Then add the tomato paste, the canned tomatoes and the cinnamon together with a wine glass full of water to the pot.
Once again salt and pepper vigorously and bring to the boil.
Now let the whole thing simmer for a total of 1.5 hours with closed lid on a low flame. Alternatively, you can cook everything in an ovenproof pot and now instead place the pot with lid in the oven at 150° C for 1.5 hours. I let it simmer on the stove.
30 minutes before the end of the time, add the rinsed beans and corn to the chili. They are already pre-cooked and just need to be warmed up.
Season to taste again before serving and if necessary add more spice with the dried chilli powder.
Serve in bowls with bread and a dollop of yoghurt or guacamole
