Mmmm Mmmm.

I really do love food. The chili I made last night was spectacular. . . . here's the recipe:
(this makes a LOT of chili, but you can freeze half of it for later)

2 lbs ground beef - browned
2 large white onions - chopped
2 red, green or yellow bell peppers - chopped
1 or 2 jalapeno peppers - chopped fine
1 habanero pepper - chopped fine
1 large clove garlic - minced
3 16 oz cans tomato sauce
2 16 oz cans red kidney beans
4 Tbsp chili powder
4 tsp salt1 tsp cumin
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 dash basil
1 dash of hot sauce (optional)

Brown the ground beef, add 1 cup water, the salt, cumin, and half of the Chili powder to the meat and simmer on low heat until liquid is absorbed.
Saute the onions, bell peppers, jalapenos & habanero in a saucepan until the onions are translucent
Combine all ingredients in a large soup pot or crock pot and simmer on low/med heat for 2 - 4 hrs. Test periodically - add salt or chili powder to taste. If you prefer a mild chili, eliminate the habanero and the hot sauce, and use only 1 jalapeno pepper.

Tabasco sauce does not have added sugar
