    Recipe Introduction


    Now, just follow my cheap and easy, award-winning chili recipe

    List of Ingredients




    2 lbs. ground pork butts
    2 lbs. dried pinto beans
    2 medium onions, chopped
    1 large green bell pepper chopped
    1/2 cup pickled Jalapeno peppers chopped
    1/4 cup flour (or so)
    4 heaping tablespoons chili powder or so, to taste (I actually
    end up using quite a bit more)
    2 tablespoons sugar or so to taste (the sugar is used to
    mellow the flavor not make it sweet so go easy)
    1 cup Pace Hot Salsa
    4 to 5 small cans of tomato sauce
    1-2 large cloves of fresh garlic
    1 teaspoon or so chopped red hot chili peppers (optional)
    salt to taste


    Recipe



    A few hours before dinner put new pinto beans on to boil. Usejust enough water to cook the beans. Do not make soup! If your beans are fresh, meaning less than a year old, they will get nice and tender in a few hours. If they are not new beans,
    they may never get tender. Brown the ground pork with onions,
    garlic and peppers. Once meat is cooked mix flour in
    thoroughly. Add tomato sauce and chili powder and simmer a few minutes. Mix meat mixture in with cooked beans and water, add remaining ingredients, bring to boil and simmer for a while. Make adjustments on seasonings to suit your taste. For thicker chili, tomato puree or a little tomato paste can be used with or in place of tomato sauce. You can see that this recipe is not an exact science. Just trust yourself and may the force be with you.
