Here is my hot chile recipe:

1lb ground beef, brown and drain
Mix in 1 chopped onion
1 chopped green pepper
sizzle until onion begins to become translucent.
add 1/4 cup finely chopped garlic
and 5-10 finely chopped jalapeno peppers (depending on taste may add/sub Habenara peppers)
stir for a few minutes then add 1/4 cup chili powder,
1 Tsp red pepper,
1 tsp salt.
Finally add 1 32 oz can of diced tomatos, and on 4 oz can tomato paste and 2 14oz cans red kidney beans.
mix well and add enough water to make a nice medium thick texture and simmer for (at least) 1 hour (2 or3 is better), covered.

EAT! :P

I add more peppers for more punch.

This is the chili recipe that I make for parties, reenactments, and family reunions. I also make it periodically to can. We eat a couple quarts and home-can and freeze the rest. This recipe makes 3 gallons of chili. It also freezes beautifully. When I take it to a family reunion or reenactment I freeze it, put it in an ice chest, and let it thaw on the way. Heat it up over a campstove or grill. It will feed 50 people.


CHILI

3 pounds dried pinto beans
3 tablespoons salt
10 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 pound chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 cups canned peeled and diced tomatoes
4 cups tomato paste
2/3 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Wash and sort pinto beans. Bring 3 gallons of water to boil in a 6 gallon pot. (I use a 12 quart speckled granny ware pot from Wal-Mart. Plenty big) Pour in beans, return to a boil and cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 1 hour. Stir in salt and simmer until tender, 90 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Brown beef with onions and garlic over medium high heat in same pot or enormous skillet. Combine meat mixture, tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, pepper and cooked beans in 6 gallon pot; stir; cover and simmer 1 hour.

You can add more or less of the spices to suit your taste. I add more chili powder.

Pack into jars leaving 1 inch headspace. I process quarts for 90 minutes and pints for 70.

OK RIK'S SUPER SECRET AWESOME CHILI RECIPE
Make chili as normal, using ground chuck, chili powder and beans.....

use extra meat to make it thick and meaty
Add a can of tomato sauce,size depends on the amount of chili you are making...
then add....

PICANTE SAUCE. Lots of it to give it a good blend. Let it all simmer together for a while and add spices to taste. If you want hot chili, add habenero peppers OR just use Habenero Salsa or Picante sauce...

Et VIOLA ... some darn good chili...

So eat it up and enjoy cuz my Secret assassin squad is now gonna be going out to take care of you guys so my recipe stays secret :twisted:
