    List of Ingredients




    The Meat:
    1-lb. Ground beef
    1-lb. Hot Ground Pork Sausage
    1-lb. Smoked sausage - Cut this up into 1/2" chunks. I don't recommend using more than 1 Lb. because it'll make it taste like spaghetti sauce! :-(
    The Veggie Stuff:
    1- Large onion coarsely chopped
    2 (or more) minced/pressed Cloves of garlic
    1- Large bell pepper cut into 3/4" chunks,
    1/3 cup Yellow Corn meal
    2 -28oz Cans of Ready Cut Tomatoes
    2-27oz cans of Kidney beads - Drain and reserve 1/2 of the liquid to mix with the corn meal
    The Spices (The real meat of the tomato)
    1 Tbs. Ground oregano
    3 Tbs. Chili Powder
    1 Tsp Ground Coriander
    1 1/2 Tsp. Celery Seed
    1/8 Tsp. Cayenne Pepper*
    1 Tbs. Tabasco sauce*
    1 tsp mustard
    2 to 4 Dried Serrano Chiles*
    1/8 Tsp Dried powdered Habanero peppers*
    1 tsp paprika
    1/8 Cup (About, I didn't really measure it!) Good Red Wine.
    * These things just add the "Zing" and not much full bodied flavor. That is what the wine and other things do for it.

    Recipe



    How cook it:

    In a large pot, brown the beef, pork, onions and garlic over medium heat.
    After the above is browned, add the bell pepper and the smoked sausage. Cook for 5 to 10 more minutes.
    Reduce heat to low (and drain most of the fat IF YOU ARE WATCHING THINGS!)
    Blend in the tomatoes and spices and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
    Stir in the drained beans. In a small bowl, mix the bean liquid with the corn meal until it's like pancake patter.
    Mix the "batter" into the chili and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or MORE. I simmer my batchs for about 2 hours, so use your judgement on this.
    Sprinkle with Mozzarella or Gouda cheese and serve with sourdough bread. Or, make a Chili sandwich with a good sourdough roll.
    FOR THE BEST TASTE, FREEZE THE RESULT TO "CURE" THE MIX! THAW, HEAT AND SERVE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THIs RECIPE! IT IS VERY VERY HOT!:-) NOT FOR THE WEAK AT HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
