1 Tsp. Allspice
1 Tsp. Freshly ground black pepper

1. Divide meant into small portions and in a large frying pan cook each portion until just no longer pink - do not brown (browned meat will not as readily absorb spices). If using ground beef do not break up meat into ground-beef consistency - you want it chunky - small marble sized pieces are about right. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the large pot in which the chili will be cooked. Discard grease and water and continue cooking each portion until all have been cooked.
2. Saute onion and peppers together in batches in small amount of oil until slightly wilted. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the large pot in which the chili will be cooked.
3. Add next 7 ingredients to chili pot, stirring to mix thoroughly.
4. Combine remaining 10 ingredients in large bowl, mixing thoroughly to break up any lumps. Add to chili pot, stirring well to incorporate. Bring chili up to a high simmer (approximately 165 degrees) stirring almost constantly. Cover, reduce heat and slow simmer (approx. 135 degrees) for 1 hour stirring frequently.
Note: The easiest (and quickest) way to mash the tomatoes is to drain the juice into the chili pot and then empty the tomatoes into a large bowl and squeeze the tomatoes through you fingers until completely mashed.
