I think I make a pretty good pot of chili.  Others seem to like it too, so I thought this was as good a place as any to post my recipe.
So for you, dear reader, and posterity, here it is.

Get this stuff:

• 2 lbs of lean, ground beef
• 2 can of Ranch Style beans (un-drained)
• 1 can of black beans (drained)
• 1 can of pinto beans (drained)
• 1 can of Rotel tomatoes with green chilies
• 2 cans of tomato soup (concentrate)
• 1/2 cup of diced green pepper (red or yellow peppers are good too)
• 1/2 cup of diced onion
• 4 tbls of chili powder
• 1/4 tsp of red pepper powder
• 1/4 tsp of cumin
• 1/2 tsp of black pepper
• 1/2 tsp of salt
• Worcestershire sauce

Do this:

1.  Brown the beef in a skillet.  Add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, to taste.  Drain the meat well and add to a large pot.

2. Add all the other ingredients, draining all the beans except the Ranch Style beans.

3.  Mix well and simmer over medium heat.  Do not overcook!

I prefer to use a pot on the stove top rather than a crock pot.  I prefer my chili with less liquid in it.
I also like to prepare it a day or two in advance to let the flavor of the spices permeate.

For a little more of a kick, add more red pepper.  I often add some garlic powder as well.

Chili Out!

So, go forth and chili out.  If you try this recipe, let me know what you think.
